I have been around for a long time Dune to Dune, desert to desert Keeping my identity and remaining sane I have been around for a long time I have seen wars beyond unwritten history I have stuck to the bloodied foreheads Of fallen heroes and slain innocence I have been around for a long time I have been pushed, I have been crushed Drowned in the sea a million times Yet washed to shore every single time I have [...]
They want you to stop and mute But you should scream and shout You should sing and dance Let them hear and see you They will be amazed by who you are They would try to pull you down But you should rise above them See a tomorrow that is beyond them Make a difference and they will follow And thank you tomorrow They want you to stop writing But you should keep going Write till the pen runs out [...]
They say it is not the end That you are not yet there They say you should move on The world does not stop today They say you don’t have to give up Not today, not today yet That you can start all over again The world will keep turning for you They say its ok to be at fault Not once, but many times And you can makeup this time Just feel it from your heart They say you [...]

As the last ray of sun leaves the earth Behind it should go all stress of the day As you hold the night like a baby in your hand And watch it grow through the cocktail glass You should be Immersed in the music of love Then light a candle and let it burn As the world slowly dips in the dark You should see her face glow on you Take a sip from her glass And give her a [...]
My two sides make me unique Give me the power to decide the fate Some win some lose with every toss For what I am made of For what is inscribed on me People desire me I am precious if I am the only kind They collect and trade me For much more than what I value I travel from hand to hand Bringing a smile where ever I go Leaving a tear whenever I leave There is also a [...]
