CATCH A STAR

Catch a star and never let go

Make a wish and see it grow

Stand up tall, let doubt wither and die

Walk with faith on the surface of the river

Run and never stop from reaching your goals

Laugh out loud until victory you can hear echoes

Push; let the wall of failure all falls

Jump higher and touch the sky above

Punch every little fear until it hallows

Smile; let it lit the world from afar thereof

Hold; till breakthrough within your hand can't fall

Fight, for hatred need be killed from our lives

Be ready, for salvation we need to have eternal life

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

Whenever I think of you, I smile 

Life is so much prettier hearing from you

It’s everlasting joy to be loved by an angel such as you

When I close my eyes, I see you hugging me in my dreams

When I look at the sky, I see you waving back at me

In winter, I sense your warm thoughts caressing my heart

I can never be lonely anymore, not since I met you a fortnight

If tomorrow stays up late, will spend all the time I have today with you

For you are peculiar and blessed with the heart of an angel

For out of this world, can't find someone as special as you

Thank you for been a friend more than what I bargained for

Forever will I cherish the day I meet you

The world’s going to be forever beautiful with just a touch from you

I TRIED

I tried but life's keep getting out of hand
I tried but the burden of the world keeps weighing me down
I tried but everything fought for can't be found
I tried but all my effort's going down the drain every time
I tried but still the sky is getting out of reach
I tried but couldn't find comfort when the spirit is weak

I tried but something keep pulling me down from achieving my dream
I tried but can't find someone to accept me unconditionally
I tried but everything I love is falling apart
I tried but can’t stop the storms in my life
I tried but the pain aren't going away 
I tried to make the world a better place for you and me

I tried to paint the world with love, hope and humility
I tried to make it rain so the blind can see
I tried but everything I worked hard for is falling apart
I tried; I swear I tried everything a man could think off
I tried so hard but the world didn't appreciate me
I tried to leave a smile maybe someday someone will remember me
