I Breath For Living
I breath for living
Intoxication is certain
In hard world
Where humans has turned so evil
With hearts full of selfishness
And greed
In a world where care keep
Getting lesser and lesser
Human values never stop
Depreciating
No wonder our economy
Devalues by day
The young keep fighting alone
The old keep on dying in pains
In a world we claim to be civilised
I just wonder who is fooling who
Despite the good things of life
Vanity is more obvious in the world
And yet more sad that we are yet
To understand what is life
So instead to work and die in vain
I breathe for living
I breath for living
I can't kill the life in me for nothing
So I chose peace
I chose love
I chose care
I chose to live
I chose life
I refuse confusions despite
It hard to avoid
I deserve to feel the universe
With freedom
I need no dictatorship
Life is free
And this is not a lie
So instead to work and die in vain
I follow my heart
I dwell with my spirit
I think through my mind
Cos I see the times with it marks
I see the symbol and the signs of the time
I can't be intoxicated in this time
I can't be drowning instead to stand
Cos certainly in a hard world
Intoxication is never difficult to be seen
And definitely Africa is not exceptional
So if you wonder how I survived
In a hard world Is obvious
I breath for living
