LAST NIGHT AT THE CLUB

Last night at the club, the DJ played my song

An emotion once dark came back to life

The lyrics made my heart beat faster

I was completely out of this world

The heart, mind, body and soul became one

Dancing away feelings conjured of a long and hectic day

Maybe God spoke to the DJ on my behalf

I was carrying in me the sadness of a broken heart

I was clinging to the burden of the world on my shoulder

But the track played sink deep down into my heart

And I was all over the dance floor with a relief and smile

For it reminds me to be sober and not resentful inside

Music is a pill the heart needs when it grieves

It cools the body and takes her misery away

It calm the nerves so problems wouldn't weigh down a determined heart

I am glad the DJ played a graceful song last night

Tonight there would be no worries any more

For all the negative feelings in my heart are but no more

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
