THE ROAD NOWHERE

Under the stars of a silhouette night
Two souls journeyed deep into the night
Strangers stranded on the highway
It's supposed to be a beautiful day

The clock watched the night slipped by
A misery that lasted but not a while
The morning busy in the market
Farmers and traders match in hundred

The sun came to console two hearts
A moment far spent in agony and despair
Little children playing in the light
Wish life was really simple as that

On a dead of the night you can find but little comfort

Life got the tendency to be lonely sometimes
Love ones a million miles apart
As life journey into an world unprecedented

DRINK

Drink out of the sorrow in my heart
Drink out of the loneliness in my heart
I wore doubts and deeds
Misfortune of yesterday

Crack the feebleness of broken years
Wrapped in pain and disappointment
The night may be timid
But tomorrow is never going away

Who's going to make the pain go away
A destitute with no attitude
Mama never taught me to be a quitter
But ride when ever the sun rises

Tonight I am pouring my heart's out
You can't hold me down
I am overflowing the threshold
The world's lagging behind

Maybe I am too fast to be hindered
Maybe I should take a a break
Life got to have other plans
If I stay lucid in the mind

FOCUSING ON THE PAST

Focusing on the past is like driving on a highway with your eyes fixed on the rear-view mirror.
