I Only Sowed a Seed

I only sowed a seed
love is life for me 
so let me breath 
in Peace

I need no crucification
cos my days speaks 
what life can gave and take 

if you don't know were 
am going 
how could you know 
were I was coming from 

love is life for me 
so let my days be 
bless on earth 

I need no war 
but always i have 
a fight to win 

cos survival is never 
a question any more 
in this realities we bear
in Africa

so instead of vanity
I prefer life 
instead of evil
I chose love 
instead of wars
I prefer the truth 

no wonder am not perfect
either am i cast away 
from those called sinners

is a shame to the world
that my only crime was when
I only sowed a seed
