CAN YOU TEACH ME

Can you teach me to crawl?

Can you teach me to walk?

Can you teach me to run?

Can you teach me to love?

Can you teach me to be optimistic?

Can you teach me to be polite?

Can you teach me to responsible?

And can you teach me to honest?

Can you teach me to patient?

Can  you teach me to be obedient?
And can  you teach me to be faithful?

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
