#betterplace
Opened eyelids won’t let you see
What’s here right in front of you
Cherished dreams that lies beneath
Your broken soul, they say they’re true
As life goes on, we all do change
And fit no more in the same place
We feel entrapped in a golden cage
We smile with tears that run down our face
We search our purpose in old pockets
We know to hope for better days
We see the future in shooting rockets
Cause we all hope for a better place

We were asked
to make wine.
We made poison as well.

Sail On
And just for a moment
There was a total blackout,
Our spheres went all dark
A ray of sunshine couldn't penetrate through,
The atmosphere was misty and dense
So, we kept sailing on in the deep dark
There's a sandy shore that awaits us,
Where the sun never tires to shine
The soft winds will never go weary
At blowing your long beautiful hair backwards
Where the grains of sand will carelessly,
Yet flawlessly
Decorate your skin
As they carelessly stick
We'll make castles with shore clay,
At least better than the castles in the air
All that we'll never touch
So, we keep sailing on

How sad it is to create a world of fantasies
that you know **** well wouldn't happen in real life
But somehow along building that dreamlike catastrophe
you see yourself slowly wandering in a world of bliss
in a world where you are the lead character
and every trees and every clouds are smiling at you
And you know **** well you'd never cry the way you do
no thoughts of quitting
unloving
hating
leaving
pain
it's all a loophole of sunrise
almost ending with a gorgeous sunset
and with you
hand in hand
is someone you badly wish
to be madly in love with you

THE WORLD OF ME AND YOU
My eyes are dark from seeing
The pain of my fellow people from the beating
Of the problems and trials
Betrayals and denials
Corruption is widespread
S** in teenagers heads
What are we to do
With the world of me and you
Innocents are killed every day
Children are abused every way
Now I'm here to say
Let's make a difference, okay?
Let's make the world a better place
Back to its former grace
So that the beauty we can once more see
And every man can live free
Where black and white people are best friends
Where peaceful agreements are all that is needed to make amends
Where a person can love whoever he or she wants
Where a rich man shares his wealth instead of flaunts
Is this to big of a wish to ask?
To long and hard of a task?
Will this mission take forever?
No! It will not if we stick together

I had a dream about you and me
We sailed the oceans, we explored the galaxy
I had a dream about today's children
Where they are not hungry and forgotten
I had a dream about our country
It was clean and peaceful
not chaotic, not *****
I had a dream about dreaming
That it is not bad and we should keep trying
I had a dream
I have a dream
We all do

You probably don't know
That I've had a horrible day,
Struggling all day to make it
Through, feeling this way.
And you would go so far
As to say, "this one's on me",
Which makes me tear up,
And you say "don't worry".
I have faith again in humans,
Despite all I've been through,
And some people ask why I give,
And it's all because of you.
It's because of what you did for me,
When I was down, you picked me up,
Whereas most people these days,
They wouldn't give a ****
Pardon my language,
But it's true you see,
Because of what you have done,
I stopped thinking about me, me, me.
The world is a better place when we
Take care of each other,
We share this planet, and
Through Christ, we're all sisters and brothers.
