Aiye

aiye
let peace be among
the sons of men
cos I pray it never leaves 
my door 
for the ones I call
my own 
is now my misery
a dream I fear to bear 
by no cost 
is so sad no matter 
how good you are 
people will always 
be who they are 
oh aiye aiye aiye 
let peace be among 
the sons of men
cos love is forbidden here 

aiye 
let my dignity be protected
I expect it protection 
mostly from my own 
yet the knives of greed
keep cutting back my skin
this is more deadly than 
an enemies Cain
I cry I bleed 
oh aiye aiye aiye 
what have I done to the world 
I thought my innocent mind 
could prove my royalty to life
oh aiye aiye aiye 
the world is full of mysteries
I never pray for 
not even in worst night meres

aiye 
I dont want to be perfect
so I chose never to lose
my spirituality in vain 
cos the days are hot 
no good feelings out there any more
with out a profitable intention
honesty is so scarce out there
even my own is not out 
of the question of deceit
now tell me who else 
can I trust 
if I fear my own blood
I wish the storm is over 
cos till now our reality bleeds 
no sign of change
oh aiye aiye aiye
what a world
a mysterious world

aiye 
it use to pay to be good 
but our very own blood
has turn their back 
on their own bloods
bleeding worries were 
confusion never leaves
our night for a good rest 
I get worried when
I can't live to defend my right
its impossible to live this way 
it is not a chose but a challenge
I bear for long 
how long in life will life get better
oh aiye aiye aiye 
let the wind of change blow again
