TIME

Feeling it passing by
Feeling it inside
No way to hold it
No way to control it

Time
You can chase it you can race it
But it will always pass you by
Just sit back and take your time

Day after day
The memories it contains
Feeling like all life just began yesterday
Knowing it will never stop

Time
On going eternally it can't be contained in a bottle
The journey of life is forever
The more you know the more you make the most of your time

Dreams of the future are the daydreams of the young
Remembering when are the daydreams of the old
Got to know the soul it eternal
It is much more than supernatural

Time
Sit back and count the stars as you wonder where you are
So hard to know we will come and go
A never ending number in the passing of time

OM SHANTI

Something deep inside of me
My personal connection to eternity
In a place, I can always be free

Om Shanti
Om is the song of the soul
Shanti is the peace that never gets old
A blissful dream that can't be told

The cycle of life has passed us many times
Man preaches about the direction
To a destination, he has never been
If you don't believe him it is just a sin

Om Shanti
Om is the song of the unseen goal
Shanti is the sweet tranquility

Just a spoonful in our tea 

In the way, you think is the peace
In the way, you talk the words of peace
In the way that you walk
You become the image of peace

Om Shanti
Om is the song of the universe
Shanti is calming lovingness in our mind
More than a gift feel the stillness

STAY

Can't look me in the face
When all you got is hate
I stay here to make a change
You leave because of a false reality

Stay
Because hate is a state of mind
Diversity is a reality of life
Stay
You're not the only one who wants to hide
When all the bully wants to do is fight

Got to meditate and pray
There is going to be a better day
Can't just sleep the nightmare away
Soon we have to wake

Stay
Because hate is just a lie
Diversity can't be an orphaned child
Stay
You're not the only one in this world
It will still turn no matter if your boy or a girl

It is easier to tell a lie
Than it is to prove the truth
Who is going to make that noise
When we are bout to lose our voice

Stay
Because hate is the foundation of the ego
Diversity is a positive virtue made for me and you
Stay
You know you have to lead the way
Strength is in the words of peace and love

STRAWBERRIES EYES

Remember that winter night

In the snow, we would play

Catching snowflakes on our tongues

That was the time we felt so young

Strawberry eyes

So sweet the way you look at me

With a childlike smile light up the night

Strawberry eyes

Hope the snow doesn’t melt

Because of the warmth of this loving friendship

This snowman we made, will he be the third wheel?

Getting between you and me

You got the carrot I have the two eyes of coal

If we give him a smile will you leave me for him?

You wanted to call him Jamie

I wanted to call him Christopher

Rap a purple scarf around his neck

If he came to life, we could call him PRINCE

Strawberry eyes

You were so beautiful that winter night

The warmth was just right

Strawberry eyes

You took my hand I pulled you close

My feelings from that night are just footnote

SILENCE

The sound that echoes
Back and forth through the valley
The rumble of thunder through the sky
Takes over the night

In the empty room
A word can still be heard

Sitting alone contemplating life
This journey is much more than a mile
Put those obstacles to the side

In the sleeping breath of a child
A word can still be heard

If there was ever anything more soothing
Than this laying on your chest
That is what it feels like to be blessed

In the distractions of life
A word can still be heard

Traffic is because we fallow one another
When no one knows their way
Find the direction fallow your own path

In the deepest corners of the world
A word can still be heard

That place in your mind
Is where the true you reside
The silence for this world you can find

Because this silence is your soul

FIGHTING LIES

Deep in my mind, I look inside
Born knowing wrong from right
But still behind closed blinds I hide
Lost in the darkness no desire to come out in the light

Fighting lies
Believing in feeling are your only facts
Now everyone thinks like that
Fighting lies
It is easier to walk on the moon
Then to prove the truth

If peace was a religion would we need God
If purity was justice would the juge's robes be white
If love was water would we still feel thurst
If redemption was virouse would it still hurt

Fighting lies
Tempted by physicle desires
Fallow her to the door knowing the price is to high
Fighting lies
Taking what you hear at face value
It seems the blind can see through what you can't

With the words you say
What do you have to gain from someones emotional pain
Why you blam some one you don't even know
For the problems you cause to your self

Fighting lies
There is a war on education by ignorant zealots
They ride a calvery of unicorns hitting every one the with bag of teeth from the tooth fary
Fighting lies
All this time calling the truth a lie
Now the lirer changed his story to the truth
Suddenly it is okay with you?
