A NEW WORLD

A new world
This is what I seek
There is too much tyranny
The church is deprived of love

Underneath the sunrise
There is a little child starving
There is a girl child unprotected 
From the cruelty of humanity

Everywhere I looked, there is strife and conflicts
But how long are we going to live like this
Indulge in hateful gathering of despised
Dislodged, misguided and reckless youth

It is not about racist and inequality
It is not about taking up arms to war
We have to stop wearing forged faces
Fight the pestilence threatening the unborn

You and I knows this is true
Despite we may refuse to acknowledge this
Do not you think we deserve a better world?
A world children can live in peace and hamony

WAIT IN VAIN

It has been three days waiting for your call
I looked out the window for a sign
Maybe the wind will whisper to me
If you are missing me terribly too

Please tell me if waiting for you is right
I will do anything to have you in my arms
Should you not find me at home
I am waiting under the stars for you

Maybe if it rained yesterday, it wouldn't today
The heart misses you and your warm smile
Heart leaps in ecstasy waiting for your love
Waiting to have a kiss that is long overdue

I am incomplete without you
Please do not make me wait in vain
Every passing day, my feelings is torn apart
I hate feeling like this because you are my world
