Be the change
Like a bird in a cage
That mimics your words
Your anger, your rage

Be the change
That harnesses light
That does what is right
That stands up and fights
For those who can not

Be the change
With outrage and scorn
Since the day they were born
For the families that mourn
For the bodies grown cold

Be the change
That lets people breathe
When they beg and they plead
While seeing a need
From the powers that be

Be the change
That’s taken a stance
When given the chance
At the blink of an eye
At the very first glance

Be the change
That protects and provides
The right for our lives
No matter the tribe
Be a leader of men

Be the change
For those who cannot
That sour and rot
Each day in one spot
From fear they’ll be shot

Be the change
Devoid of all sin
That triumph and win
What they start or begin
Not judged by the color of skin

Be the change

It’s past midnight in my mind
My insecurities run the second half
Of this alluring moment in my life
I wish I could take the driver seat
But I’ve let my demons take control
Masking who I want to be
Lord knows, the flaw of humanity  
We mess up,
some things we never meant to Be

Keep the world beneath your feet
Even when you feel so small
Everyone has a chance to change
Progress may be moving slowly
Move at the rhythm of your own pace
Only you can be your savior
Validate your own feelings
In the end it’s your life
No else will take control  
Go ahead, the world is yours

I see the happiness on your smiley face
and the river flows through my eyes
I'm so helpless and so hopeless!
and this heart weeps for missing my kins.

The world's heartless and I lost my family
Yet I have become stone hearted
How helpless I am, oh indeed!
I'm unhappy, but acting like I'm happy
I'm the darkness and your eyes are full of light!

You have a happy smile but I'm so sad,
Sometimes dream makes me scared,
Yeah, I'm so hopeless in this cruel world
How happy you are but I'm dying inside!

The morning comes to your eyes, but I'm still in shock
Many birds sing in your forest and flowers smell good
But I'm still so helpless and so thirsty for goodness.
Be with you the light of peace forever
and I have devoted my Creator.

Can I give a girl anything  
Except what she wants

your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you
