Conflict Within My Heart
Never will I give in, how many times will I reply?
You sing to my ear the same song
I will never dance to your music.......
You are a deceit I know of you
You aimed to deceive me I will never dance
I saw you each time I am in another world,
in the day you choke my lung with different thoughts,
I will never give in, I repeat.
You use my heart as hut, you tell me give up my dream;
you tell me I have nought to gain on this way
I know you are the devil within mind, you are a stone
and I am the hammer you will be shred
You tell me to stop endure this difficulties,
You tell me it is all a shame;
You tell me it's a waste of precious time.
I know you are an angry ocean therein,
I'm the dryer you will dry.
You are a sailor, vanish is your goal,
I will never give up my boat.
Hope in me is Mississippi, how do
you expect YOU, elephant to drink her off.
This can only happen if YOU,
FIRE kill the ember of hope glowing
Within me, but not, you are
fertiliser for me, summer plant.
