OUT ON THE COLD



I stood out on the cold waiting for you
Couldn't find the joy I get when am with you
I could lite a bonfire, but my heart it can't keep warm
Not when it can't find you around at dawn
It's not perfect a world without you
The sun can't make the day brighter without you
Just as stars, the night will not be beautiful without you
Only in you will I find what the heart seek
Only in you does one get the feeling of a heart beat
It bears an everlasting love that comes with the warmth of your smile
Out on the cold I need stay until I hold you in my arms
I have got nothing in this world that gives the heart joy
But the love and affection found in your bosom alone
I will keep my heart open forever waiting for you

ONE



One life to live
One road to cross
One ship to sail
One heart to give
One air to breathe
One cloud, one sky
One minute I need
One story to tell
One gospel to preach
One woman to love
One morning and dew
One beauty of life
One faith and courage
One pen to write a story
One moment I need
One destiny to achieve
One song to sing
One universe
One God to worship

LOST CHILDREN




We are lost children
Scattered across the world
Under one big cloud
Same star, same moon and sun
The sea between us is shallow
It can't drown away our dreams
We share same heart that need be loved
And hope embedded that can't be lost
The door in the heart is left ajar
Wanting to be kept warm through the night
It's no coincident we met and fell in love
The sky can't be hidden from a dove
Does a heart seeking to be hugged
