I am lost
But I would not sit an cry
There may be no one to help me
There maybe no one looking for me
I am going to hold on to my pride
Never give in to self doubt
With no one to guide me
I would not let fear tear me apart
I have learnt to look inside me
When I need someone to talk to
Only he understands my feeling
And the pain I am going through
There is no amount of consolation
That can unbind a heart prone to defeat
Once hope and courage is lost
It takes a life time to be back on track
No one can hurt me
If I do not consent to defeat
At the other side of the grieving wall
There is a world made of imagination
There is a firing will burning inside me
The wind can never put it out
The splashing water from the sea can not affect it
I will let not my dream be deterred

A child deserves education
A child deserves to have a home
He needs health care
Good clothes and shoes
And friends to play with
Not lavishing his life on the street
Shattered and without a dream
He should not be deprived of love
Almajiri deserved better life too
I wondered why in this modern age
We can not find an appropriate policy
Protecting the rights of a Nigeria child
Instead he is punished for our misdeed

I am afraid if you leave me
My heart will be broken
Like a fallen leaf from the tree
My emotion will wither and slowly die
Please tell me you will stay forever
I do not want to be sad the rest of my life
Without you, I feel my world is over
I will lost everything thought I have
Sometimes in life we need to take cognisance
The decisions we make that might affect others
I can be a better person if you give me a second chance
You deserve better, no need to stake your claims
Let nobody talk to you that I am off no good
We do not need to fight to prove you are right
If only you could smile, it is going to be alright
With you back in my hand, the world will turn around
