She sings lines such as:
“You are my plan A, you are my plan B, you are my plan C, without you, I cannot do it. If I am to shine, I only want to shine because of you. I want a beautiful life, but only the one that you will give to me, because now I know that without you, I cannot do it. I look up to the skies where my help comes from…”
Throughout the video, Betty looked joyful, immersed in what she loved most, praising and worshipping God through music.
