SEARCHING FOR A HERO

Everyone is searching for a hero
Someone they can look up to
Sometimes we get discouraged
It turns out killing our dreams instead

We thought they possessed the things
In our lives could never had
We try so hard to be like them
But lost faith believing in one self

Its not a bad idea to want to have a role model
Someone you can always look up to
But we all have a unique strength inside
Hidden qualities waiting to be let out

First look inward the man in you
You've got to decide if he is apart of you
Together you can achieve any thing
Together you can fly and touch the sky

Heroes may come and go in our lives
They leave behind unforgettable memories
That stays with us the rest of our lives
But only you can best tell your stories

You can be bold and become stronger
Never you stop dreaming
With determination you can change the world
You can be the hero you are searching for

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
