I Have An Ancient Soul

I have an ancient soul 

Am ahead of my time 
And still ahead of vanity

To end up in this trap 
Of evil world
Was never my destiny
From nature 

I have the soul of 
My ancestors inside of me 
They are all around me 


Is so foolish
How life looks 
In the eye of a fool 

Who only live to die 
For nothing 
Whose his or her life teachs 
No good but vanity 

So I rather live to live again
Then burry my soul 
In foolishness

No wonder God bless me 
With an ancient mind 

Were I let no pollution
Of the devil 
To devour the peace of my mind 

Is a blessing 
To see beyond the works of the devil 

If am too deep for you sorry 
I can't breath in a polluted planet
Like ours cos 
I have an ancient soul
