Valley Of Red
The Valley of red
Was once my Valley of green
Before, the killings took place,
No longer do birds fly overhead
For they can’t, rest their heads.
The trees are all gone
And so are all the hills
They are now, barren fields,
So now the Valley of red
Is my Valley of green
And that, now is my dream.

Warning You
Did you not see me waving at you
That day when you were walking by
You quickly walked away and ignored me
And you didn't even say goodbye
But what I was doing I was trying to warn you
It had nothing to do with my honor or pride
I wanted to tell you about the hole in front of you
But you didn't see it, so you fell in, and you died.

Come This Way Again
If we come by this way again
Let's not come as children
But lets arrive as Men,
Not to show up in fit or furry
Just to waste time and leave
in a hurry.
And if we come by and we
shall meet
Lets greet each other with a
kiss on the cheek
Lets smile and laugh and talk
as friends;
If we shall ever, come this
way again.

Vengeance
Vengeance is mine so said the Lord,
I will destroy the wicked with my sword
Judging and judgement will be mine alone
As what I reap, will first had been sewn.
Hate is like fire it will only consume
First the soul, then the mind will be exhumed
The pleasure of man's victory is so very brief
But in the end there is no satisfaction, but only grief.

Grow Old Together
I know never to say forever,
But lets grow old together
Lets not our years, had disappeared
Falling like lonely tears.
So lets stay so young,
As we greet the moon and sun
To be as new like the morning dew,
Awakening with a child's smile.
So lets shed not many tears
By falling through empty years,
But to both be here forever,
And we will both grow old together.

Let The Sword's Rust
People are still fighting
Enough! , is Enough!
Lets lay down our arms
And let, the swords rust.
Lets throw away the guns
And explode all the bombs
Lets save all the children
Before they are all gone.
Lets end all this fighting
Enough has finally came
By ending all this killing
And its senseless pain.
Now the time is at hand
Lets all quieten to a hush
And throw down our arms,
And let, the swords rust.

I Am My Fathers Son
I am my Fathers son
That is who I am,
Though I am, still his Child
I am still a Man
Living my life from His
Sharing His own belief
Like the seed from His tree
To become like the leaf.
I am walking in the steps
That my father placed
And as I grow and I mold
I am my father's face.
Walking with my Child
As the night does come
I look at him, He replies to me,
'I Am My Father's Son......'

Nothing Lasts Forever
Nothing Lasts forever,
That's what my father use to say,
And nothing ever stays the same,
For someday it all will pass away.
I looked upon my father then
And I thought how could he ever change
A man so strong, and who never was wrong,
Wouldn't he always stay the same.
He held my hand when I started to walk.
All those many years ago,
Now I hold his hand, that of a man
How I prayed he would never grow old.

If You Could Cry
If you could cry
But just one tear
Be grateful for your cheer,
But if from hate
That your tears do wait
Be sad from your fears.
For the tear unwept
Is a sorrow kept
A sad thing to hold and keep,
And if it is better to smile
Than it is to cry
I think I would rather sit and weep.
For if you could cry
But just one tear,
From only just one thought.
I feel for you
And the friends you knew,
And the love and memories that you lost.

If You Will
If you don't mind, and if you will
Will you bury me on top of the hill
Place my body there when I die
So I can be close to GOD, and the sky,
So let that be my final rest
As that journey will be my final quest
Up on the hill where I hope to lie
Close to GOD, and also the sky,
And if you come to visit me there
Don't bring me flowers, but bring a prayer
Think of me when you climb that hill
If you don't mind, and only if you will.
