TWINKLE LITTLE STAR





Twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
At night when I am down and feeling sad
Can't find you by my side

I bought a bucket of dreams and wishes
To share with you and my buddy Chris
Mom always told me wishes can fly
Tonight I am going to give it a try

I have always dreamt someday to be a superstar
My pictures in a magazine just like a movie star
The way you smile tells you are special
With tiny sparks of joy dripping come night fall

Sometimes I feel nervous talking to you
For a friend, you are unique and so cool
The next time you take a walk on the cloud
I will walk you home before the sun gets back

DAY DREAMING OF YOU




At first, it is like day dreaming
My heart skips anytime I think about you
You are amazing, one-of-a-kind
Special in every single way

Last night I stumbled upon a broken star
And the night got awfully sad
But when I heard the record
Of your subtle voice play

It takes my heart far away
For a walk on a golden treasurable day
I would rather give up my most precious possession
Than allow feelings for you get stolen

A girl like you do not often come by
For you, any thing you say I will do
Nothing is worth that much
Compared to a drop of your smile

I searched the world but it was all in vain
It is like playing a chess game without the queen
With just pawns, I be a vulnerable king
I would not go very far without you

NO ONE EVER CARES




No one ever cares about you
Not the way Jesus Christ do
Humbled and true, sacrificed unto death
For sinful souls to resurrect

The devil came to steal, kill and to destroy
He despises the bond of a man, a woman and her a little boy
For every blessing God bestowed on mankind
In the day and by the night, the devil envied

But Jesus selflessly adorned you
Always pleading for the retribution of man in full
A life protected under the wings of God
A joy boundless, instead of a hope tattered

Every where He went, He was doing good
He heals the sick, the poor He fed
Gave sights to the blind, to the homeless sheltered
Unto every needs He provided

I have never seen a friend who so much cares
Willing to give up His life to die for my sins
Though expensive, He gave His heart away for free
All He ever wanted is what's best for you and me
