I am blessed
He has bless me
My God has bless me
Not with women nor money
But he has given me glory
He has given me wisdom
To attain freedom
That nations might know me
Kings and queens hear of me
He picked me from the dust
And placed me higher
That i might live forever
Even though i was born
In the lower places
My name in the higher places
They hear of me in their palaces
Even though i was born in poverty
I did not forget me
But a remembered me
He has bless me
My God has bless me

Heaken To My Council
I have said it once
Now will i say it twice
Not anymore
Not trice
For she wont listen
To my advice
She lives all her life
Bowing to images
And worshiping all the vanities
Thinking she is blessed
And will go to heaven
Now she perishes like a chicken
And she is soon forgotten
I will live a free man
Than to live a slave
For the beauty of the sea
Is it wave

Life is bitter
Life is biter
Very very bitter
It waves are stronger
Turning my life upside down
Now i cant carry my crown
I cant smile than to frown
I cant go high
I cant fly
To the sky
My glory taken from me
Like the fish taken from the sea
Sadness becomes my recipe
If a flower dries
It looses it beauty
I am locked up
And cannot find the key
My heart is broken
And i need to make it whole
So i said to my soul
If i had the wings of a dove

Mama africa
What have you done
To yourself mama
What have done
To yourself Africa
You don't know who you are
Your superiority
Turn into inferiority
For you are into mental slavery
Because of poverty and illiteracy
What have you
Done to yourself
You have bewitched yourself
You have turn into a beast
So you eat your sons
And daughters for feast
You don't know
What is right
So do not know
The cause to fight
What have done

In The House Of God
I was punished for telling the truth
I was mocked for the sake of the truth
And i become mad and wild like the wolf
But not being patient destroys everything
So long as i live i will sing
I will position myself in the lord
And strengthen myself in god
For he is my guide
He is my protection
And my salvation
When i was rejected by my mother
He was there for me
When i was ignored by my father
He was there for me
Oh wonderful and merciful
You are my redeemer
I will be in your house for ever

Indoctrination
Why all this confusion
This lies is destroying the nation
I call this indoctrination
How can a tree be planted on a rock
The eagle and lion cannot flock
Neither can the chicken and the hawk
He pretends life is sweeter
And forces me to fell it sweetness
Even though it feels bitter
You skillful trickster
Yes indeed, take heed
For at the end
Your caucus will the beast feed
You have saw an evil seed
And God will reward you
According to your deeds
You evil creator
Your are a false pretender

Fools haven 2
Fools haven
This is fools haven
All they do is to fool
When their belly is full
Be careful you fool
For nobody knows tomorrow
Learn the steps
Of the wise and follow
The life of the fool
Is like a that of a drunkard
He is happy on the morning
But in the evening a disgrace
For he ignores wisdom
And foolishness does he embrace
Like food
When it passes through the throat
It is of no use

The ultimate power
Love is the ultimate power
Even though i am superior
I will not make you inferior
Neither will i not
Take of you an advantage
Even though i am
Of an older age
But to give you courage
According to your wish
Lease i perish
But love must be establish
That it will be your wiliness
I will not use your kindness
To be your weakness
Why will i make you cry
I will pardon your life
Than to see you die
I will take you high
As grapes are for wine
So are you mine

The dark days
Life these day is hard
Since being a good man
Means your are mad
The heart of men followeth vanity
Oh how sad
The good man turn bad
I have search all my life
To understand life
That which is great to attain
Since the good man
Even suffers in pain
And there is nothing to gain
How come everyone has forgotten
As the truth in there
Is getting rotten
Like unpreserved dead body
Persuaded to feel sorry
Since the truth makes one an enemy
I have been seduced to my confusion
For doing good is an abomination

Words of love
Sea never dries
The truth never dies
As it has been
Let it be
For it was meant to be
My love for you is forever
Birds of the same feathers
Flock together
So shall we share
The same love together
For what God has patten together
Let no man put asunder
Truly beauty lies
On the eyes of the beholder
