SLEEPLESS NIGHTS




It's being sleepless nights, the heart and mind tormented
Eyes can’t be shut without thoughts of thousands dying everyday
All that's left are memories, smile and love lost to wickedness and hatred
Hope deprived on our street, love deserted in midst the people
Everyone is a victim, the sun shut from our heart
Tears shed for corpse victimized by evil blooded heart
The living left with doubts and fear despite the words of thy Lord
Death gladly acquire the soul of brothers and sisters
Sojourned on a journey of thousand years
The moon's quiet and sober, the star mournful from afar
Thousand souls lost, misjudged without consent for the grieved
Life's unappreciated, disregarded and destroyed
Many years of uncalled slavery, selfishness and discontentment
A thousand candles light in my heart for the beloved lost unwholesomely
A prayer for her souls to find eternal restoration and rest
May thy will be upon man, and hatred, wickedness chased from our mist
Tears dried from our eyes and the night deemed with laughter and joy
And love broken back into hearts shed into pieces

EVERY NIGHT IN MY DREAMS

 


Every night in my dreams I see and feel you
The feelings for you got all written in my heart
The moon stares at me through my window with a smile
I saw you in the shadow kissing me
Your smile light up a candle in my heart
Only you know the track which leads to my heart
I pray for the night to stay a bit longer
I don't want to give up memories dreamt of you
When I am lying on the bed, you were an angel beside me
On a journey to life, you are my companion all through 
Life wouldn't break me if everything got left behind
As long as I got a heart and got you
I will live the rest of my life loving you

LIFE'S NOT EASY



Life isn't easy
If it was, I wouldn't have to work so hard
I am leaning all my efforts to God
He gives me the grace to wake up each morning
I have got to work so hard 
Make the best out of life and myself
Only you lord can understand
how life has been all this years
You made the sun set in my life
You send down rain to water the droughts in my life
I have been keeping my hopes so high
You have kept me out of harms way
Been a friend when I had no one to turn to
Life has never been fair to mankind
But I always win because I have you
