BLACK BIRD







Oh black bird, why can’t you fly?
All through life you’ve been fighting a war
Fell from your mama’s back at your tender age
Cruelly the world turns to you her back

Sorrow is your comfort, pain your companion
Beaten by hate, wings soaked with sadness
Life is deserted, you stood under the cloud without hope
Oh black bird, I wish you could come back home

Don’t despise the world, for there will always be a war
Under your wings, you can find comfort and strength
Can you think of the memories that make you smile?
Somewhere in your heart you can find love to survive

Please black bird; don’t throw away your heart
Life may try to tear your feeling apart
Spread your wings and let the wind take your hands
You are beautiful; don’t let the world make you think otherwise

Shed away the tears in your eyes
Just a little more sleep, you will be aright
No one knew life was going to be this bad
You've got to let go your burden for its going to be alright

JOY





Joy cometh in the morning

And stays with the heart all day

It gives us the grace over life challenges

When our ship is going astray



Joy, whenever she finds you, never leaves

When trail and temptation comes, joy stands with you

The world may be broken, tears in your eyes

But with joy, brings sun shines in your life



So many homes are in pain and sorrow

Each day the world mourn over her love ones

But with joy, there is a reassurance and renew hope

Amid the storm, one can have a reason to be glad



When joy fills a heart troubled and burdened

Like a stream, peace and happiness flows within

It takes away all our worries

For joy cometh in the morning



It’s discouraging when you look at the world today

By and by, life beauty fading away

As you wish so much more to life for all

In the light on that heavily place is joy

A LIFE TIME

DEDICATED TO UNITED 95 AT HER ANNIVERSARY/RE-UNION PARTY 2015





We crawled, we learn to walk
We stood up tall and fall
Life so far ahead
But we held on head strong

We had a dream
We had a vision
We have a heart uncompromising
And a bond above the sky

Love and Unity
Embraced from the dept of our heart
As we sail through the sea of life against all odds
Sight set on the shore of our motherland

We sang a song of victory
Our spirit burning with passion and a goal
Someday our story told
As we stood a midst the storm in the sea

The sun rest each day on our shoulder
Though tomorrow maybe far away
It can never killed our zeal
As we journeyed beyond the stars
Arise and shine fellow brothers
Ye hold the future to our father land
As the father looks up to his son and hug him proudly
So shall we lift the glory of united christian secondary school
