ECSTATIC
Wicked world, wicked feeling
The sky above, life is drifting
Come take my hand, don't let go
The night so shallow, dreams can't hold
I find a star where ever I go
She looks so pale, wishes unfold
I find myself walking around in circle
Couldn't hold a grip of life, yet I tried to
Wade off the nightmares running free
Hope came to rescue the day's will

INNOCENT CRY
Have you ever taken time to listen to the silent of night?
Can you hear the voices of the innocent heart?
Underneath the darkness amidst the cloud are hopes dieing
Children, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers are suffering
From the cruelty of an unjust world man created
Hoping to sustain through a long await night incapacitated
Hoping life will be much better tomorrow
Striving to live in a world free of unforeseen sorrow
Unconsciously, love ones are resting for the night
Who will ever thought these could be there last
I have been sleepless trying to figure out
Maybe tonight all my questions will be cast
Last night on my knees, I prayed for the world to be made right
Many are spending the night in pain and regret
Many are hungry going to bed, because no one out there cares at all
No shelter to prevent the heart from heavy out pour
In vain lives are lying six feet beneath
With questions unanswered, trust broken and betrayed
All is needed is a minute to listen to the innocent cry
You and I can save a life today, if we both care enough to try

DON'T CRY FOR ME NIGERIA
I am just a victim from millions of Nigerians wandering on
the streets
Who have been punished unjustly for believing in the dreams
of our forefathers
No one cares, if we go to bed hungry tonight
I thought the efforts of our heroes past, will avail for you
and I
But we go to sleep in darkness every night, in the morning
we struggle to make earns meat
No jobs to raise money to take care of the possibility of a
day square meal
Everyday we hear the same old stories of billions of naira missing
Yet they promise us stable power supply, wealth and job
creation
That our educational system will be improved
That there will be a health reform to reduce death mortality
rate
That our roads will be rebuild, and the standard of living
will be better
Corruption will be wiped out by the people who favored it from the start
Forgive me, if I no longer have the zeal as where our
forefathers
Forgive me, if I no longer believe in my Country, that
things will be better
She has lost faith in me and can't accommodate my dreams
She has sold my birthright and now she is seeking my soul to
rid
I am jailed and prosecuted by the people I trusted and
believed in
There is no need to shared tears for me, for you are also a
victim
Why are we but so
selfish, all we seek for is to enrich our personal gain
You are the cause of the tribal war and killing and also the
cause of our pain
