I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY

You may hurt me but you can't break my pride

Disappointments in life can't make me sad

You may take my heart for granted, it wouldn't make me cry

My feelings are unlock and running free inside

I have been given a heart to love the world

Nightfall can't hid the joy written on the wall

If I can't find love in this world, it wouldn't discourage me

In the dark still I will lit a smile to a heart found before me

I have decided to be content if the world doesn't accept me

For I've got something that's so special in me

God made me beautiful; no one can make me think otherwise

If tonight the world stumbled and fall, in the morning I will rise

Like a bird I will soar higher and fly

You may break my heart, but can't wipe away my smile

For I have a heart destined to be happy

The pains I go through only last for a while

Hatred and jealousy wouldn't make me flinch

I've got a heart of gold not hoarding the world to clinch

Don't bother trying to stop the stars from shining

It's long ago I promise not to compromise my feeling

Like a waterfall, in my mind forever happiness will flow

I can't help it if you see me smiling where ever I go

It's all I have got, for God promised me fullness of joy

I just can't lie down and let it withered away like once did before

Walk with me; let the world know there is hope in a smile

We need a world purged of insanity, selfishness and lie

If you and I today decides in our heart to carry a smile

The world will be a better place for your children and mine

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
