A SMILE, THE SIGN OF PEACE

I don't know why the people

Make the choice of weapons
When only one smile is enough
To eliminate misunderstandings

My love, Let us go far away 

Where there is no one
To build up our own world
To sow our own seed
To put into practice and breed
Our own thoughts
And harvest our own crops

ALL BY MYSELF

There was a moment

I thought I have found love

But then heaven cracked

My dreams fell apart

I have been nursing the pain

But the wound would not heal

Emotion torn inside out

Dying right in front of my eyes

Resentful to a regretful memory

It brings every time I cry

Life hurts me deep inside

Shredding every bit of hope to survive

I have been carrying a broken shell

No one my story to tell

Shedding lonely bitter tears

All by myself

ALWAYS PRAY FOR YOU

Every day I get down on my knees to pray

I asked God to watch over you each day

You are the reason I wake up in the morning with a smile

I see you in my dreams whenever I look at the sky

You may not know how much it means to care

The fondness of your heart sprinkles everywhere

In my own little way I cannot pay back

Every sacrifice to our friendship you have made

You are like a tree planted by the river

Your countenance blossom seasons over

Without you I am nobody on my own

All I thought have achieved would have long gone

While you are reading this words

Know that I am lucky we crossed paths

We might not be the best of friends

But you are someone I can turn to always

Never stopped from being the best of you

Because of you someone’s life is beautiful

If this wasn’t as good as true

It would be a waste of time telling you
