Take a Picture of My Heart
take a picture of my heart
are you ready
to take a picture
of the heart of
a bleeding soul
found in a common
world
a land of peace
greedy beast now
are turning it fruits
to a blood festival
I wonder if the world
is still watching so
are you Ready
take a picture of my heart
take a picture of my heart
are you ready
to take a picture
let the world see
how an innocent heart bleed
let the world see
how brutal this heart
has been abused
for nothing
let them see the
colours of our grieves
it been too long
so many of my age
always say we are born
in a wrong place
is sad cos their heart
are dark as mine
even If i disagree
it don't change the
colours in the picture
are you ready
take the picture of my heart
take the picture of my heart
are you ready
is time to make a photo
of a heart once innocent
from the pollution
of intelligent mammals
whose interests are never
for the sake of humanity
whose goals are never
found in saving mankind
whose philosophy kills
the children spiritual growth
right from birth
like a lion I can't stop
roaring
like an awoken spirit
I can't stop chanting
for Justice
so it take a heart
of sacrifice
to be a part of the living
so are you ready
take the picture of my heart
