ALL WE ARE SAYING

All we are saying, we want equal right and justice

We don’t need promises of building our roads

We don’t need to sell our culture and tradition

We don’t need you to solve our crimes

You can’t give us what you don’t have

It’s enough you stole away our birthright

Now we have come to no compromise

Its time you take out your baggage

Our hearts are yearning to be upright

Give us back our dignity, give us back our pride

Give us back our brothers and sisters slaughtered overnight

Give us back the wealth you stole away to foreign land

All we are saying is to restore our nation

Back to the days, love, peace and harmony co-exist

Back in the time we where bond with integrity

Our children had a future, our lands where fertile

The sky filled with memories of joy and laughter

A land, bridges are built in unity of our forefather

All we are saying is to give us back our motherland

We want to cultivate and reap the fruit of our labor

NO PROMISES

I don't promise to be a heroine 
That I can take away your pain 
I don't promise to be a princess 
That I will always make you smile

I don't promise to be perfect 
That your heart wouldn't get broken 
I don't promise to be romantic 
That your emotion wouldn't get hurt 

I don't promise to be a servant 
To warm your feet when they are weak 
I don't promise to be your ideal woman 
That I can meet all your need 

You've got to take me for who I am 
Be patient and don't stop cuddling me 
Hold me gently my imperfection 
I could be an angel lost inside

A SUNNY DAY

 

A ray of hope smile through the window
As the day walks by, her reflection sat on the table
Shadow hiding behind disappointments of previous day
Feelings can't be suppressed by a mountain irrespective how high it lay

In the hand of time, though life can be compromised
It doesn't matter how far is the sky or the cloud
Let the wind kiss the mind and doubts freely fly
Tomorrow can't be that bad if you can see where the day lies

Tag along if the day is going for a walk
Life is calm when the day is just waking up
A butterfly is beautiful because she is in love with the morning
This got nothing to do with either or not you have money

With eyes closed, deep down the heart you can find happiness
The world can't make you feel sad without your consent
Don't ever let go the pride and joy of a beautiful day
Look out the window, for its a sunny day
