VOICES IN MY HEAD

 

I keep hearing voices in my head

I hear voices of children in the motherless home

Who doesn't know how it feels to be loved and hugged by a father

I hear voices of the innocents, locked and perishing in the prison

I hear voices of the poor, hustling and wailing on the street everyday

I hear voices of patients dying in the hospital due to neglects

I hear voices of virgins raped, molested and deprived of her womanhood

I hear voices of soldiers killed every day on the field fighting a war man can never win

I hear voices of a mother abused by her husband that's supposed to protect her in her home

I hear voices in the night of the many souls lost and buried in the grave

I hear voices of conscience of the oppressed afraid to speak up not to be maimed

I hear voices of a world polluted and destroyed by human for selfish interest and gain

I heard a voice tell me in my heart that if only man will believe

God is willing and able to give him an eternal joy and a new life to live

BROKEN TRUST

On the night of July, the moon was lonely

For I let my emotion got the best of me

Selfishly, I let the love of a dear one slipped

My heart was weak; she caused an eternal trust to weep

I broke the promises made to you

I was callous and guilty of my sins in full

For this I can never forgive myself

My heart is convicted and confined in a cell

I get lost in heaven whenever am in your arms

For you were blessed with the hands of the gods

With you my dreams were all coming true

I am sorry despite this I took you for a fool

In my heart, I lighted a thousand candles praying

I couldn't sleep for the better half of me is dying

I am bleeding inside every second spent without you

I can't make it on my own in a world without you

Please can you spare me your heart?

Give me a little chance to make things right

I don't mind if I had to be a maid for you

The stars in my heart are no longer bright as it used to

Can you please take me to be your woman again?

I want the cloud between us to forever rain

So we can sail on the sea together the rest of our lives

I am not an angel, but I can be the sky in your life

For a broken trust will I do everything in my heart to mend in a way

I still want to be the one to make you smile everyday

I will give up everything I've got in this world away

If it will cost me another life to be in your arms again today

TWO BIRDS

You and I, two birds sitting on the branch of a tree

Contemplating if to fly above the world to see

Or sit under a pine tree and make love all through the summer

I always like to nest on the orange tree when not around you're 

I got a scent of you for the flowers are as beautiful

I could see the field of grains and a nest build for me and you

If it rains all through summer and your hands I can't hold

I will fly so high to fetch you a rainbow

To make your day memorable and colorful

I will pluck a bunch of lily flowers by the valley for you

So you and I can live in the world we both adore for ever

Every morning fly together to take a sip of a graceful day by the river

Something tells me all our dreams will come true

For when God created the world, He had plans me and you
