WATER RUN DOWN MY EYES


                      


 In memory of victims lost due to the recent Nepal earthquake.....





Water run down my eyes and tears fills the sky
Life losses all meaning, the heart felt like she would die
The world is left homeless as tide took away her smile
I couldn't bear the world mourning and seeing the morning cry

Thousands are devastated, hearts are broken, fate stolen
Casualties’ every day of natural disaster in a world perishing
Hopes are tossed away, memories of joy drain
Searching for love and happiness of a brighter life regain

Share a minute of silence for all the souls taken away
As we keep praying in our hearts for a better world each day
Let our sorrows reaches heaven's gate until God tarry on earth is grace
For man is edging into extinction as the world deteriorates

THE NATION'S PRIDE






 We are the nation's pride
In the heart forged the heritage of our forefather
Diverse in religion, culture and tradition
Wearing courage, peace, love and dignity
As we salute the bold sacrifices our ancestors made
On the bridge, fate, progress and unity sustained
The tears of our mothers, heals the land beyond the sea
Conceived, is the dream and inspiration of a brighter day
As we carry the nation's flag abound, both near and afar
Show the world we are the seeds of our nation's pride

BREAK MY HEART









Break my heart but don’t throw her away

She is fragile and can't survive that much pain

All she ever did was to love you as deserved

She isn't selfish for her love for you wasn't blind



The storm came all over my heart the day I met you

I thought it would rain that day but the sun was bright

I was wearing the smile of pauper in love with a prince

I couldn't afford a ruby so I gave away my heart for free



You can break my heart but please don't treat me for a slave

I never asked for a favor from you but feelings that’s genuine

Today may be young and tomorrow without a sun

If you don't appreciate my feelings, don't throw her away
