THE WORLD IS DROWNING






The world Is drowning
Of the foolishness of life
Who truly wins
In the act of war

We talk about right or wrong
But never weight it consequence
The world is destroyed
The moment the heart is compromised

TWO STORIES DOWN


Two stories down
A world compromised
Why do man seek for war?
If one day he will die

EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL




Everything beautiful
Reminds me of you
You can have my heart
It's fitted for two

I BROKE MY HEART





I broke my heart
A million times before
Can't find no star
Love within is gone

THE PAGES OF LIFE




If God takes the pages out of a book
Life will be eluded
In a world broad and promising
Someone out there would've never had a chance

Under heaven, the rain falls and wet a man's dream
There is the sun to wipe away his tears
Slowing the world is ageing
No one seems to notice this

We smile and enjoy the fullness of life
Live in comfort and luxury
But forgets what it feels like for a mother
Whom can't help in her arms, her little child died

WISH I KNEW BETTER




Life would have been a lot better
If I had played by the rules
The sun would have rise up early
My world would've had lots of sunshine

But what is life without pain or gain?
A world with nothing to protect
Little things is reason the world is complete
Yet people find it difficult to realize this

Do you know you can hold the world in your hands
Be a role model to someone depressed
Thought changes everything in our lives
But to live consciously, 
are you prepared?

TO DREAM AND A WILL




I know, you know
Its not always about having a dream
As hard it may be
You need also have a will

Sometimes luck don't win the game
But a heart not letting to quit
You've got to have something at stake
Not bailing out of a difficult day

Dead is a heart subjected to defeat
Slowly if she can't take the heat
After a war, The world still will be
Why give up otherwise

FALLING


 
 
Oh, why do men fall?
Out from the genesis of life
Satan thrown out of heaven barn
Demons walking endlessly to steal lives

There is no way out of revelation
It's spelt out bluntly in the bible 
Man is lost, fading out of existence
Grave can't savage souls bond to hell 

Tell that man who kills a brother
That woman living in a brothel
There is no remedy to sinful thoughts
Life can't be measured six feet beneath 

Time for story telling is gone
Every man got the will of a saint
But its thrown away for lust and pleasure
A journey to eternal condemnation

IF SOMEONE



If someone tells me
I am not putting up a fight
The dream that can't  be accomplished
It's because the mind is not right

I can see in the world  there is a light
But forgive me for letting you down
Yesterday got betrayed
Didn't have the courage to face another day

Maybe someone can help put out the misery 
I am lost and can't find my way
Everyday I tried so hard
But can't become the man I once had

I put  behind me my share of regrets
Get  over the  agony of a dilapidated life
Please in my death don't cry
Tears will only bring bad memories

FEELING OF LOVE



I have got the feeling in my bone 
Running through the pulses in my heart 
My emotion got a twist of fate 
The day I met you 

Its like life has been staling
I still don't understand 
Why It's difficult to breath 
Without you around

Can't find a way out 
Temperature running deep
I got diagnosed a forth night 
With feelings of love for you

THE ROAD NOWHERE




Under the stars of a silhouette night
Two souls journeyed deep into the night
Strangers stranded on the highway
It's supposed to be a beautiful day

The clock watched the night slipped by
A misery that lasted but not a while
The morning busy in the market
Farmers and traders match in hundred

The sun came to console two hearts
A moment far spent in agony and despair
Little children playing in the light
Wish life was really simple as that

On a dead of the night you can find but little comfort
Life got the tendency to be lonely sometimes
Love ones a million miles apart
As life journey into an world unprecedented

DRINK





Drink out of the sorrow in my heart
Drink out of the loneliness in my heart
I wore doubts and deeds
Misfortune of yesterday
Crack the feebleness of broken years
Wrapped in pain and disappointment
The night may be timid
But tomorrow is never going away
Who's going to make the pain go away
A destitute with no attitude
Mama never taught me to be a quitter
But ride when ever the sun rises
Tonight I am pouring my heart's out
You can't hold me down
I am overflowing the threshold
The world's lagging behind
Maybe I am too fast to be hindered
Maybe I should take a a break
Life got to have other plans
If I stay lucid in the mind

FOCUSING ON THE PAST

Focusing on the past is like driving on a highway with your eyes fixed on the rear-view mirror.
