I have been trying to feel my heart
But she broke away into the sky
And never came back
Then life became blank
I look through the silver screen
Maybe I can find a way to fix this
But my feelings begin to get hurt
I can tell the difference
It is like I am living a life from the past
Where the world despised me
Why should I carry such a burden on my shoulder
The weight of an ill-fated society
There is a lot of things I never had
A loving father, a caring mother
The memories of a happy home
The privilege to chase after my dream
So, do not try to fill my head with your problem
There is a lot of things about me you never knew
The hole I am carrying inside my head
As I grew older
The memories in my head begin to hurt
I can not pull myself together
I am lost, wish I have someone to count on
To hold my hands and tell me it is alright

My skin may be black
But my mind is humane
I do not harbour prejudice
I do not despise the world
I only want to be respected
Maybe you would understand me
If you are patient enough to give me a chance
A heart that sees the world with compassion
I bear the strife of the beggars on the street
The agony of a helpless teenager molested
Yet helpless, I am but neglected by society
A victims' prone to diseases and castigation
Please do not judge me by the colour of my skin
But by the sincerity in my heart
Together we can build a perfect world
Where love is all that matters
Because I am not born with a silver spoon
Does not mean I do not have a right
To the luxury of life that you enjoy
A home with a loving family
There are millions without shelter
How can I breathe if I am on life support?
Yet the darkness refuses to go away
With no friend around to play with
Always I have thought the sky will be bright
Dreams will fly freely above the cloud
The colour of my skin is all that I have
Look through my eyes, It is my pride

Peace like a river
Come to Duel in my soul
Joy like in heaven
Fill my heart and make it whole
Wonderful grace and blessing
Walk with me everywhere I go
Sweet and marvelous of the holy spirit
Feed me with the word of God
I read of famine in the newspaper
Human lives destroyed in the act of war
I knew not what it means to be homeless
The Lord protects me since I was a boy
I will trust and believe in His words
I want to journey to His blessed and holy world
With constant peace in my heart
No sorrow, regrets, sickness or death
