Water run down and the stream overflow

It filled my heart with thoughts over you

My heart don’t wait till sunset
Always she falls in love with you

Every time it rains,
It submerges my feelings for you

If tonight the sky don't bear a star

I will search for you both near and far

I am walking away from losing my head

From all the problems of the world

If all she bears is pain and sorrow

There is no need to seek tomorrow

Though man is destined an angel on earth

But the sins of the world is resentfully dread

The purpose of life is neglected and tarnished

Souls are lost; death's lying by the ridge

Evil is in the mind and lust planted in the heart

Thrive and war, the moon deprived of her joy at night

The world today is not made right

Love's forsaken the day man sold and lost his birthright

Take a message of peace to the world

To the rebels fighting in the forest

To villages and communities killing one another

To soldiers on the battle field fighting a war

To a father abusing his wife and children

To the man suffering, thinking of taking a gun to rob

To the woman on the street hustling for money

To a brother and sister keeping grudge

To the pastor on the pulpit leading the congregation

To the prophet preaching about jihad

To everyone on the street and in our homes

To little children whom someday, we’ll be counting on
