UNDER THE WIND





Under the wind life seems
Shadows comprehend a man's dreams
Clouds above the earth peace unforeseen
Silence in the morning and dew not seen
Laughter not enough to plant the earth a seed
Grievance chasing tomorrow from our midst
Sun unable to see the path man needs to be freed
The world can't provide meat the body to feed
Scar of mourning the heart bleeds often
The world changed for life is forgotten
Hope prey the feelings from suffering
Wish the wind don't blow away man's dream
Love and joy in life man crave
For under the wind does life seems

ANY TIME I THINK OF YOU





Any time I think of you
Sets my heart wide open
You left an ocean in my heart
You left a reflection of loneliness and tears in my heart
Sun shine can't wipe away the tears and regret
I promised the heart I would not cry
But my feelings can't forever be lock inside
The world is forever beautiful but in my dreams
I am scared of waking up to a morning of guilt
And regrets of how you slipped away from my hands
My thoughts keep holding on to you
Your love he can't afford to loose
Anytime I think of you, I feel blue
I wish there is something I could do

THE WORLD IS UNJUST




It's difficult judging if life is worth living anymore
We all wake up each morning to achieve the dreams we seeking for
Brothers and sisters have died not able to achieve their dreams
A man kills his daughter for ritual because his tired of living in a shame
Greed’s everywhere, to be rich in life is what we aim
Brother takes a gun to rob because he can't live in vain

Suicide bombers killing masses every day to prove they don't mind going to hell
Sisters are increasing everyday on the street forced to sell their beauty to feed
After so many years of studies and sacrifices made
Still no job, living a life of a destitute and frustrated
Why is the world so full of cruelty and hatred?

These days a man can't tell what to believe in anymore
We call ourselves friends, but no one's around to heed
To the call of a friend when in need of a helping hand
The bible told us how God created the world and made it beautiful
He was amazed and excited and gave man the earth to make resourceful

Many have applied for jobs over the years Every time they don't seem to have the right qualifications
Man is smacked on the street every day in  life
This can never be resolved if soldiers keep preparing for war
What is it we are really fighting for?
Is the earth no longer good enough to live in anymore?
It's unjust for man to suffer over and over through life for years
These wasn't the life we were given birth to by His grace

We are all one being and deserve a better world than we are leaving in
What happened to the love men once had within?
I don't know about you, but I can't stand this anymore
This injustice I can't continue to bear anymore
We've got to stand up and fight for our rights
Our rights to have a good life and have peace in our lands
