I AM GOING HOME



I have made up my mind that i am going home
I have been out working for years and got nothing to be proud of
It’s been so miserable living in a shame like i got nothing to live for
I can’t afford an apartment and can't afford a decent meal
Like the prodigal son, i want to go back home and have peace of mind
It's enough living an outward life; I’ve got families back home that care
I am going to be in good hands, i have got nothing to get my mind worried
I am not getting younger; my hope of getting a job is diminishing
I have tried everything i could think of, and am losing the zeal of life completely
I missed the love i enjoyed each day back home.
I missed the homely care, support and the laughter back home
Life is so difficult; i have lost my sense of judgment
I rarely find justice living in this world; if it does i know i can't afford one
I am already packed and ready to go back home
Do you want to come with me? There is no need to suffer anymore
I have got a plan to start life anew and make penance for my shortcoming
I am going home, i want to try and live like a man
This can't be too much to ask for one to live a decent life
I have to face life like a man and make it bow for me
For it is never too late to make it in life today or tomorrow

YESTERDAY




It seems like yesterday we used to have dreams
Life was full of love and we all enjoyed the beauty of life resources
We dialogue with the gods and speak in our mother's tongues
I used to look up the sky, stretched my hands and reach it
The lives we live was no fairy tale
Because deep down in our heart we can feel it
There was no pride, every man can fend for himself
I remembered i used to walk down the street like i own it
God was living with mankind, we had everything we needed
I woke up one morning and saw the world i knew has changed
It has become a nightmare i never thought would become a reality
Evil now lives in our homes, wickedness walks on our streets
The world is no longer big enough to accommodate our dreams
We betray each other for wealth which lapses in time
Pride has blindfolded our judgment, we no longer believe in what’s right
The sky has become far from our reach
We no longer have wings to fly to reach our dreams
Life is now a fairytale; man's zeal for life is lost
No more morning to wake up to
To take these nightmares away
Just like yesterday, everything we once believed in
Are now fragile thought we pray and hope for everyday
I wish life had remain the way it was yesterday
So man wouldn't have to worry about today

WRITE ME A LOVE LETTER







It will be exciting to know deep inside your heart how much you feel about me
I will love to read your love letters every night, just before i go to sleep
My heart is anxiously waiting for you to tell me your dreams
Tell me how much you love me and how much hanging out with me makes you feel
Tell me how you felt when i kissed your lips and hold you in my hands
What runs through your mind when i wrap you in my bosom as we lay together all through the night?
When i told you that i love you, how do these words make you feel?
When i take you out to the beach as we sit, what are the thoughts running through your mind?
I will love to know if it’s okay for you to spend the rest of your life with me
I have this feeling that the words you will write, are going to blow me off my feet
How lovely and romantic it will be to know you have a passion for me
I am going to stay up all night reading your letters
I am going to stay awake and figure out how deep the feelings you have for me inside
Babe, i can't wait to read your first letter and keep the words close to my heart
I know you love me and will always want to keep making me smile
Write me a love letter; i want the world to know we share the same feelings inside

That when you said you love me, you meant it right from the depth of your heart
