Life is like a story

is like a story
every one has that glory
I was walking around
when I heard you call my name
from that moment
life has not been the same
thou made me a fame
thou made me a tall tree
thou thought me how to be free
prevented my feet...

Be an eagle

an eagle
don't be a vulture
for vultures are dirty creatures
they like dead and dirty things
a sign of weakness and failure
but an eagle catches it's prey
and slaughter them for it's meal
a sign of strength and power
so be an eagle

Say no to war

how pity it is
to see young children
innocent children

Songs of the free

Whiles the oppressor sips his cup of tea
I hear the songs of the free
and I tried to understand what it is and what is to be
but one thing I have seen about the oppressor is that
if you don't worship his God
then you are evil

Dance to your own tune

A conqueror

I will conquer
for I am a conqueror
the enemy tried me
they became one against me
but my world was bigger and stronger
so I conquered my fears
I wiped away my tears
oh you enemies of progress
when will you stop
turning my glory into shame

I will not waste time

I will not waste time
but make good use of my time

Wake up

I will stand tall and never ever fall

I will stand tall

Life's like a movie

The tree of Life

But a good seed

The act and deeds of mankind

earth has many children
