COME WALK WITH ME



Life is so brief; the journey is swift like driving on a high way
Yesterday i was a kid but now i am a grown man
If the future is dark and you cannot see through
There’s a sun so bright that will light our way through
If there is a shadow upon your dreams
A candle can show you the path to fulfill your dreams
If you are on a journey that cuts across a mountain that's high
If you believe in your heart, then you know you can fly
Hold on to the rope of faith and pull yourself up
Miracles happens every day for those who don't give up
There is always room for you if you can believe
It matters when you come across an obstacle
And the means you choose to fight it through
No trouble, challenges or pain can last all tomorrow
Don't let people talk you down that you can't make it
Look inside the person in you and tell him you can achieve it
They don't know you better than you know yourself
If you don't run, you will be limiting yourself

A WORLD IN MY DREAM

 


I saw a world in my dream
A world where questions are not asked
A world where man can walk on water
A world where there is no night and day
A world where you can lift your hands and touch the sky
A world you don't need money to feed
A world in which injustice cannot be tolerated
A world where there are no countries and states
A world where there are no religion or tribe

A world you don't fall sick of imperfection and pollution of the earth
A world you live where ever your feet takes you to
A world where we speak but one language
A world you don't necessary need an education
A world where everyman learns how to survive as he grows
A world in which there are no clouds but memories that covers the sky
A world where wishes do come true
A world I keep seeing in my head
A world yet known to mankind

I GOT YOUR LETTER YESTERDAY






I am entangled with doubts of my feelings
I had plans we took a flight through life valley
With scene shots of two birds kissing on the bridge
I couldn't take a decision without thoughts of you
The sky couldn't smile the rest of the day without you
The night's quiet and jilted of her beauty
I stood and gazed wild into the world
I couldn't find a trace of the stars above my head
What i have left are memories, wishes and dreams
For days i couldn't take a trip back to Lagos
Unconsciously i have lost the zest and appetite for life as such
I am blindfolded in my heart for that one love i cherish
With tears in my eyes i read soberly between the lines
She tells me you were sorry and had to fly away
But you took the key to my heart and left the door wide open yesterday
My heart is left ajar; i am fragile and vulnerable without you
She told me you missed the kisses and the warmth at night
But you've left me in the cold all through the night
I can’t fight these feelings anymore as much did i yesterday
I went on errands and fetch you my heart hoping you'll stay
Everything i believed in is no longer thoughts of yesterday
I wished i was good enough for you today
And wished i never got your letter yesterday
