AFRICAN SKY

The African sky is filled with love and diverse culture

The prayers of our fathers protecting us from above

It is filled with the spirit of our ancestors watching over the sons

Her traditions are enormous as the color of the rainbow

The night is sacred; she covers the child with heart of gold

Evil can't touch an African child, for her children's are divine

The street is wrapped with pleasantries

United in the brotherhood yet of different tribes

Every birth is blessed with a kiss from the gods

The sky is pure and bath with tears of a mother's love

God and mankind living in harmony and dignity

An African land is covered with the water fetch from God's soul

The African sky is forever blue and beautiful

Underneath her you can find peace, for every heart is forever graceful

PLEASE

Please, stop making me feel incomplete

Every night in my heart I can't sleep

Life is incomparable in a world without you

Can't have a world without the sun, stars, and moon

I have got a big heart, but it can't seem to contain you

I don't understand, don't you need me in your life?

All I seek is to be loved, so my feelings can survive

I don't want to imagine what life would be like without you

Or driving a car on the high way without a rare view

Can you shot a bullet straight into my heart?

And put off this eternal misery I am going through right

It’s odd when one keep falling in love with someone she can't have

Like trying to take a swing and hit the star above

I can't play a game I really don't understand

Why for you  my emotions keep getting out of hand

Please, you've got to stop hurting me

Lend me your heart and let your feelings run free

All I wish is you spend the rest of your life with me

RIGHT OR WRONG

How can we judge what is right on wrong

If we keep making decisions from our feelings

Some places are cold, while some can be extremely hot

We all living in a world we aren’t bothered after all

We all make mistakes, isn't that enough to tell a man he is not perfect

I might want to listen to the melody of a song playing

You on the field chasing all the things in heart you're dreaming

I could pray with you all through the summer

But it doesn't change the fact that I am different from you

Who wrote the laws we are following today

Can it reach out to someone out there on the street in need?

Can you be the moon and I the sun forever?

Together, we can impact the world from deep down where we stand

If one truly loves each other, there wouldn't be doubts in our feelings

Right or wrong, our choices made, affects the world we're living in
