DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH A DREAMER





Don't fall in love with a dreamer
He will mislead your heart away
His lips are filled with false promises
In his hand is deceit and lies


Don't fall in love with a dreamer
He is like a one night stand
Leading you to a wild goose chase
And your emotion tossed away


Don't fall in love with a dreamer
His words are sweet but broken
His feelings are completely compromised
In his heart got no room for another


Don't fall in love with a dreamer
It's wasted time lost forever
You wouldn't find him when the sky falls
All along, he will be playing with your mind

MY CALABASH


My calabash is filled with hope
Pure, carrying the wisdom my ancestors
The villagers might not believe in me
Yet we all walk on the sand with sanders

No one knows where the stream flows from
Yet it never runs dry as she flows down the valley
The sun may set in the morning from the east
It may rain heavily today down the south

It never stops a child from dreaming
I hold my calabash with expectations in my head
To fulfill the desire of a weary heart
Laugh at me if that's all you care

I will drink on behalf of you my foe
While you watch the stars Carrying my dreams
Someday I will sweep away the doubts in your mind
I will ask the birds to sing to your past

The gods to put on you, a garment is worn of pride
My calabash holds not just my dreams
But dreams of every soul lost or cast
Doesn't matter what you believe in

A BETTER DAY










The storm came calling

Life tossed and turn

The sea over flooding

Yesterday all gone



The sky lonely and sad

Hope fighting to survive

Grass on the field withered

Love yearning to revive



The cloud, dreams un-sustained

Life at the edge of sorrow

If today's completely drained

A better day awaits tomorrow
