SAVING THE BEST FOR YOU

All this years in my heart I have been holding you
The love I have can't fade away for you
The day looks strong but I am fragile without you
I keep seeing your smile in my dreams
Never had I been so fond of someone dearly
Mom's a role model, you a guardian angel
One can search the meaning of love on the internet
But you've got to have the feeling your heart inherent 
You've got to be in love to understand the feeling
How two hearts can come to leave as one
God must have had a special interest in you
Stars smile brighter when I am around you
For God is saving the best for you

DON'T JUDGE ME

You might see me hustling on the street

Don't judge me for who I am

You don't know what I have been through

No Man is perfect in this world

I might look irresponsible for not having a decent job

I might not be as successful as you are in life

It doesn't mean I don't have the personality of a hardworking man

You might see me relaxed and all dressed up

Smile when I am hanging out with friends

It doesn't mean I don't have problems as everyone does

I can't help it if my feelings are not locked inside

Though we all have secrets bugging a man’s heart

But sometime we find courage to pour the feelings out

I might be accommodating and jovial when you see me around

It doesn't mean I am better than you or everyone else

Am just trying to live life the best I can

Smile when I had to, cry when I have to

I will never change me to please anyone

The world got to accept me for who I am

Don't judge me for being me; for I am all I've got

OH NIGERIA

Oh Nigeria, why do you allow me to bleed?
Why do you allow your selfish desires get into your head?
Why are you destroying God ultimate creation out of despair?
You cold blooded minded and selfishly leave pains and despair
You pierced my heart in my sleep and leave him to die in the morning
And shed man's bosom with fear and tears and mourning
As fate sat by the park and watched souls unjustly destroyed without pity
Murdered on a broad day, chaos running in the midst of the city
Hearts broken into pieces, the atmosphere we can't bear
Lives taken off the streets like balloons flown into the air
Wounds left in our hearts that can never be healed
Please, you've got to stop this madness and give love a chance to stay
You've got to change your perception and look at life with a heart that cares
For violence only bring us pain, hatred and regrets 
I mourn with thousands of families who love ones will never see
For they left us so abruptly that we couldn't find time goodbye to say
May the souls of all the lost heroes rest in thy will this day
May they find the peace they never had while here on earth they once stayed
May the light of conviction shine in our hearts and it be changed
May it come but chase away these shadows of hatred
It’s enough going through life just to be fed
For man got to stop destroying lives each and everyday
For we need peace and God's love to forever stay
