UNDER THE SKY

Under the sky

The world is dying

As many dreams seem unreal

What you strive is conceivable

Do not let time rob you

From the things you desire in life

The chaos in the world is disturbing

But hope brings joy to a sedate mind

The sun may tell it is already daylight

That time may not be reverse

Yeah, every day is a battle

To succeed, there has to be a sacrifice

Love may be an alien

Despise not for vengeance 

Be truthful, tolerant, polite at heart

One honest act can save a million lives 

No one knows the difference

Of the mind spent in denial

It is okay to start afresh 

Despite not catching up with lost times

If you must attain greatness

The heart and mind has to be one

No contrition, no conservative thoughts

Regardless of the magnitude of setbacks

There are no lines between right and wrong

But a man with a predetermined mind

True happiness can't be based on achievement 

But from the threshold of a man with a positive attitude

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME

All my life, I wander in obscurity

Every path whirled, I find not the light 

But the holy spirit whispers to my heart

To succeed, rely not on your will or might

As does a lost sheep prone to prey, I am weak

Do not turn at me your back, I plead

I am your child regardless be who I turn out

To always love me, Lord you promised

In the wilderness of life, I have lost my path

Of whom I am, but need to be back on my feet

The devil took advantage of my greed

In the act of unfaithfulness, guilty I plead

Can you forgive the trespasses of this sinful heart?

I am knocking, hope the door to be opened

To the afflicted, your presence is a stronghold

Oh faithful Lord, be merciful to thy servant

Your grace for mankind has no threshold 

The bloodshed on the cross abide by all who yield 

For every wrong committed, purge me to do right

Body and soul, cast me not to be tormented

Root me in the foundation of your words, rebuild my faith

May the blessings denuded in my life be restored

Hold my hands, lead me to the promised land

Eternal life in heaven, I shall attend

DYING TO SAVE THE WORLD

It is no shock human values is abating

There is catastrophic of events all over the world 

Maybe it is time to reflect

Why life is not the same today

Terrorism is life-threatening 

So likewise is racism

There is no gratification in human trafficking 

Neither in lesbianism and homosexualism

I can tell you without doubt

Time does not care who is wrong or right

Can you tell me why the world dreams is been killed?

The reason orphans and widowers are on the increase

Remember the choices you made this day

Is what determines the outcome of our lives

It does not matter if the sky is gray

Man shall be accountable for his deeds

God is no fool as many may believe

Giving up free will to man to conserve

Because it is not yet the demise of our days

Does not guarantee man eternal life
