A PIECE OF MY MIND

I can not compromise the mind
Standing for what is not right
But continue the struggle to attain greatness
A purposeful life for human species

Until I see tears shed no more
The sky filled with happy rain fall
Greener leaves, healthy trees growing tall
Corruption uprooted from her core

Man is born for greatness unto birth
It's high time to reclaim our birthright
Pave a pathway on the cloud
For father and mother to be proud

SCAR

You have visions like every intellectual being

But the world cannot interpret your dream

You do not have to change anything to suit the world

Until the world changes his perception in the mind

You cannot take a walk to places you want to be

Without darkness clouding what people see

It hurts so much wearing a scar not tend

Afraid to come out in the crowd

They judge immediately without getting to know you

In the heart, they have already crucified you

Maimed every hope of happiness found

This is how cruel man is in the world

You are beautiful just the way you are

It does not matter whether or not you wear a scar

The heart got everything you need to live a good life

You have to stay strong and positive to successfully thrive

Look back to every little bit of stars in the sky you can find

Memories that make you smile any time you look back

You can make it, no matter where the heart resides

By looking beyond all bulging doubts

DONT PULL YOUR LOVE

Don't pull your love out on me, baby

If you do, then I think that maybe

I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years

Don't pull your love out on me, honey

Take my heart, my soul, my money

But don't leave me here drowning in my tears

You say you're gonna leave, gonna take that big white bird,

Gonna fly right out of here without a single word

But you know you'll break my heart when I watch you close that door

Cause I know I won't see you anymore

Don't pull your love out on me, baby

If you do, then I think that maybe

I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years

Don't pull your love out on me, honey

Take my heart, my soul, my money

But don't leave me here drowning in my tears

Haven't I been good to you, what about that brand new ring?

Doesn't that mean love to you, doesn't that mean anything?

If I threw away my pride and I got down on my knees,

Would you make me beg you "pretty please"?

Don't pull your love out on me, baby

If you do, then I think that maybe

I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years

Don't pull your love out on me, honey

Take my heart, my soul, my money

But don't leave me here drowning in my tears

There's so much I want to do

I've got love enough for two

And I'll never use it, girl, if I don't have you
