DO YOU MIND IF I STILL LOVE YOU?



The past relationship we had is an awful story
Building on a foundation made of plastic
It crumbles when the wind comes at nightfall
I hurt you, do not know what I was thinking

Believe me when I say I am ready to learn how to love
I am not the same man once used to be
I have swallowed my pride and ready to cry
I have realized you are all that I need

Would you allow me to kiss you?
There is nothing I could do to cover your scar
Look at your mirror, do you see me in your heart
Because I am right here

Can I take you for a ride out of here?
It is better if you could the pain let go
I found out the way I showed that I care was stupid
I should not have gambled with your feelings

Every day it is you I am thinking off
My heart, car and home, I would let you have
Every foolish behavior and wrongful words said
Give me a moment, let me make it right

You are the first true love I knew
What need I do to re-write this love
Please babe, do not allow my plea amount to nothing
Because I am still in love with you

BATTLEFIELD



When you are in the battlefield
The enemy armed and ready for war
Drop your arms, throw up a white flag
It is high time to call for a truce

We want peace and no more war
How can we tell our children stories
Of violence, murder and destruction
And blame the gods for our deeds

On both side, war is self-destruct 
In our homes, loved ones are deceased
This brings sadness and hate
To an already dilapidated society

We ought to fight to save the world
Tyranny from harming our children unborn
When the sun set at the edge of a new day
Embrace one another with an open hand

I SWEAR



I see the questions in your heart
I see the thoughts running in your mind
As Valentine day come and goes by
You asked, is he  leaving me or does he still love me?

What I feel about you is genuine and real
Every thing about you is worth a lot
I could not afford to lose such a precious gem
In my lonely night you are the stars

I am so sorry you are all alone
I wish my love could be your cloud
Cover all your sadness into a tender smile
And bind the stars in your heart

Every hour, everyday, I think about you
Like sunrise, I feel the warmth of loving you
Wish you are here dancing with me tonight
Holding me tight while I lead you through the night

I LOVE YOU
