ONE

One life to live

One road to cross

One ship to sail

One heart to give

One air to breathe

One cloud, one sky

One minute I need

One story to tell

One gospel to preach

One woman to love

One morning and dew

One beauty of life

One faith and courage

One pen to write a story

One moment I need

One destiny to achieve

One song to sing

One universe

One God to worship

LOST CHILDREN

We are lost children

Scattered across the world

Under one big cloud

Same star, same moon and sun

The sea between us is shallow

It can't drown away our dreams

We share same heart that need be loved

And hope embedded that can't be lost

The door in the heart is left ajar

Wanting to be kept warm through the night

It's no coincident we met and fell in love

The sky can't be hidden from a dove

Does a heart seeking to be hugged

I MUST DANCE

I must dance while the music of life beats

Can't always achieve the things hoped for

It's a long journey from home to destiny

Had to dress the bed before I lay on it

There is no specific direction or pathway to life

Everyday fate I embraced with open arms

To wade away the guilt of an indecisive mind

Strife long overdue but the heart got to tag along

And harvest from sacrifices long made

For a man to be fulfilled and accomplished

Of a long journey away from home
