On the edge

Wherever I go I need you with me,
Whatever I do I need you with me,
Life without you is impossible, yet we are wasting you each day
People had no respect for you; they don't know your value
Or maybe they know it, but they just don't care
People are acting as if they own this world
They neglect the fact that god can take you anytime
They neglect the fact that you might not be there anymore.
Water water water, what is life without you,
You are the main reason for our existence
So why don't we respect you and respect your value
Why don't we learn how to manage and not to waste?
It will take us long time to learn the lesson
But until that time, who will protect you

On the way

I shall sing about heaven, where man's soul forget everything
Where man's soul goes to purify itself and became worthy
As far the horizon clear I found myself free of atmosphere
That had weighed heavy on my eyes and heart
The heavens seemed to reveal in their flames
That lightened my path and helped me reach you
I looked away from the earth that killed your love
Turning away toward you, your heavens and your love.
I saw your face as if the sun were shining there
You talked to me, you asked me about myself
You asked me how I have escaped from the earth prison
You asked me who guided me towards you,
What served as a lamp to light my way
My answer to you was you are the one.


On my heart

Letting my floating thoughts melt into dreams, I begun my journey
Looking around me searching for your touch
Feeling lonely and miserable in this big dark room
I started to remember the first day with you
How I hated you and how you were following me
As flames goes with fire following it wherever it may shift
But now you weren't there, I looked allover the place
You left me and went, all alone in this huge world.
I opened my eyes hoping to see you by my side
I opened my eyes and realize that it was only dream
You were there all the time, you never left
You were by my side as usual
I hugged you so tight; I wanted to keep you inside
My dear pillow I love you so much
