HALF OF THE SUN

Wish I can hold the sun in my hands

Squeeze it, may be the world will smile again
Under the cloud hopes are forsaken
Life is pegged, hanging on a fragile line

It's not just a wish of a child
Of a mother crying all night
Over the death of her only child
Maybe man is not destined to have breathe

Every night I watched a falling star
Lost her memories of the essence of life
Made by God's own hands
But bath in mud of wars and crimes

It's not raining anymore
The flower have lost her beauty
Love imprisoned and rotting away
A mere ecstatic shadow of yesteryear

Can't you see we are dying?
Yet you pretend you care
Why did you put the light out?
We now live fragment of a purposeful life

Tossed into the sea and forgotten
Sinking underneath is the guilt of unloved
Whom has murdered the future
Left with a land infertile and unfortified

OH LORD

Oh Lord without you life will be a sad song

No man can be as patient and forgiving as you

We claim to be in love with one another

But deep down the heart it’s a lie

You never cease to amaze me

Why you care so much for mankind

You let your son took a fall for the sins of the world

Despite the world despised and rejected him

I have search both land and sea

Can’t find comfort as sweet as in your glory

You made the sun to smile in our lives

You made the stars give life to the night

Only a fool will say there is no God

A blind man can comprehend the feeling of love

For you watch over man from heaven

Thus the birds sing you praises in the morning

TOGETHER

Together we are going to travel through the world

You and me for ever

When it rains, when it snows and when it’s winter

Our ship will sail to forever land

Doesn’t matter how long it takes

I will wait until you are back on your feet

There are stories yet untold

I wouldn’t let go your hand if the ocean dries out

My feelings are waiting for you 

Broken pieces of thoughts of you

Please don’t let go my hand

For you are all I‘ve got

Many days have gone between us

But life never stole the reflection of you

I am knocking at your door

Waiting forever for you to let me in

You just got to let go some things

Your fear, burden and your past

From now on, we’re got to be together

I promise I will wait a little longer

But you’ve got to do me a favor

Let’s dance together by the sea

No need to get too comfortable with me

Just let me be there for you forever
