I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU





Oh girl, I would never had gone this far if not for you
I know men are supposed to the strong
But I got all my strength from you
It’s remarkable how you brought out the best in me

My friends get jealous how often I talk about you
Life never gets lonely, not since I met you
Believe me when I tell you that   
A million miles can’t keep my feelings apart  

It’s amazing how the sun touches the flower and made her blossom 
How gorgeous is the star when she smiles at night
I couldn’t help but picture you holding my hand
It’s so lovely, thoughts of walking down the street with you

It don’t matter how long we’ve been far apart
I know you left to chase you dreams as much as I would mine
Whenever I look out the window I see you smiling back at me  
I will never stop loving you

CAN YOU TEACH ME






Can you teach me to crawl?
Can you teach me to walk?
Can you teach me to run?
Can you teach me to love?
Can you teach me to be optimistic?
Can you teach me to be polite?
Can you teach me to responsible?
And can you teach me to honest?
Can you teach me to patient?
Can  you teach me to be obedient?
And can  you teach me to be faithful?

ALL WE ARE SAYING




All we are saying, we want equal right and justice
We don’t need promises of building our roads
We don’t need to sell our culture and tradition
We don’t need you to solve our crimes

You can’t give us what you don’t have
It’s enough you stole away our birthright
Now we have come to no compromise
Its time you take out your baggage

Our hearts are yearning to be upright
Give us back our dignity, give us back our pride
Give us back our brothers and sisters slaughtered overnight
Give us back the wealth you stole away to foreign land

All we are saying is to restore our nation
Back to the days, love, peace and harmony co-exist
Back in the time we where bond with integrity
Our children had a future, our lands where fertile

The sky filled with memories of joy and laughter
A land, bridges are built in unity of our forefather
All we are saying is to give us back our motherland

We want to cultivate and reap the fruit of our labor
