A PERFECT STRANGER

It wasn't a coincidence I met you tonight
You where walking down the street
I was just getting down from a cab
When your smile flashes between my eyes

Love sometimes make us look like a fool
I lost my mind immediately I set my eyes on you
For ten seconds I stood staring at you
Unconsciously I fell in love with you

It felt like I knew you before I met you
Your smile fills the sky around you
Maybe I must be out of my mind
For my thought is dancing around

Excuse me, do you live in heaven?
I swear you look so much like an angel
You are wearing my feelings tonight
I can't feel my heart beat 

I am not so blind,  I can now see love is cruel
You are gone and I feel miserable
No one knows what's like to fall in love with you
For you where a perfect stranger to me

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
