in the sky behind my little blue house, tonight, i see the brightest moon i have ever seen and its light illuminates the peeling paint and the broken window and the mud and i used to see blemishes, defects new lines on the to-do list and now i see home, home with you the way we like it— full of love and food and games— wipe the mud off your shoes when you enter and stay a while

The land of raw beauty, Not entirely peaceful, But I still have hope that one day unity will be treated as a duty, For this land,I'll forever remain indebted to say "I'm grateful", So many names are thrown upon this place, But only the blind believe what they've heard about a thing even without seeing its face, Dark continent??? Well black is beautiful, It portrays strength,power,hardwork, toughness, Though others bleach out of their complexions,they don't understand they contain pricelessness. If only all could see what I see, If all great dreams could come to be, If only we all could just believe in what we had, Including love, Greatness would be attained, Been robbed and taken advantage of, In the name of innocence, The innocence I call foolishness and illeteracy, That's old stuff,shouldn't be the case. My mind can't stumble upon even just one idea to change history, But its got plenty to change the future. If life is hope,I believe hope is life.

When wave of trouble batter too harshly, And life's fortune refuses its smile. There is a place I love to be When the road to stardom seems endless, With all efforts but yet fruitless. There is a place I love to be When life's puzzles is so scrambled, And the solution is far reachable. There is a place I love to be When the turbulence abound in drill And I seek to get out, to leave and be free. There is a place I love to be When best friends turns foes When my trust makes me fool, There is a place I love to be. When brothers i dear Brings me slanders i bear There is a place I love to be. When all hope are betrayed, And the once caring arm elbow me away There is a place I love to be. When my sins seems unforgivable, And no one else I could cuddle, There is a place I love to be A place that promises no stress and worry, A place often hard to find, Buried in the garden of luck. A place cool, calm And soothing And its warmth comfort me on every side. I could lay all day long, 'cause in there I often found solace.

A Place I Love
He didn't know where he stood I'm walking backwards on a tightrope Upside down and around I asked Can I stand with you? I'll be your Strength Home Bravery We could stand with the stars and the moon I knew where he was all along

Don't blame the lion for the pride Don't let yourself whisper those insults Don't see the bad and push away the good Realize there's more to the pride than that Because even though the Alpha Male May not be who you'd choose It's not up to you Or me Or he It's up to the fittest And his mighty roar may petrify the gazelles Who ignorantly graze on the pride's land Who sheepishly bolt away from danger But the pride should have no fear The pride should rally around the fearsome roar Not be scattered around like gazelles And when one member Leaves the pride He steps off the captain's seat And begins to eat the grass
