OUT OF TIME




What kind of world are you hoping for?
When you look out the window
What is it you seek?
A life full of sunshine and beautiful trees?

A home which suits your dreams and desire?
Perhaps you are just looking for an alibi to run away?
No one can make you envisaged to reality
Look up and you will notice the clouds are scattered

Once the heart and mind do not agree
There will be chaos looming the street
Someday life is going to catch up with you
It is either you wash away your fears

Into a bucket and flush them all down the drain
Or let the heart get eaten when troubled stare
Every one has a moment of weakness
It does not mean you can not find a way through

Survivors gets out of every situation
They walk through a difficult path without blames 
Been focused only detest that you are serious
A man without a dream is but a lose end

STOP TRYING


NO PLACE LIKE HOME





There is no place like home 
Going back to a happy family where I am from 
Parents whom I missed very much 
Little kids running around messing the couch 

Home is where you find love that cannot be bought 
A place the sun never gets old 
Happiness resides in every heart 
Everyday is like an holiday right from birth 

I once thought when I go far away 
I will be happy in a million way 
Oh, how much I missed playing in the sand 
All dirty and groomed, ready to be smacked

Catching rainbows in a bucket or a bow 
Playing hide and seek in the bedroom wardrobe 
I had a good memory living outside the city 
My parents where always fond of me 

In the city, I hoped to find friendship on street 
But found out while I was asleep 
Someone took the lights out 
There's been no sign of the moon about a week 

In the city, I knew something was missing in me
From Lagos to Asaba, Abuja up to Maiduguri 
I could run away as far as I want to go 
But it cannot be like home sweet home
