Redemption untoldRedemption untold
Lies are never far from fallacy
Secrets are never far from power
If the soil is polluted
The root can’t bring no good tree
Their must be a truth untold
In a dying world
In a world full of wars
In a world of turmoil
In a land of needs and wants

All Baked, All BetterWhat was that one line story?
That my parents told me,
What was that one line story?
I believe it said, “it’s important to be clean”
Stir away your soul,
Make your world all your own
Serve yourself away,
Wipe away the stains from the corner
Keep your soul strong
And get your in order!
Then you are,
All baked, All better
Then you are,
All baked,...

SianSian, she sits in a lonely room,
Hugging at her knees
Should she go to London Town,
Or stay where her roads are clean?
Sian, she sits on a wooden chair,
She falls onto her knees
She longs to be in London Town,
Where her words aren’t clean
She’s let her head go wild, and ride
Off into the sun
She shakes the dignity from...

How much do you loveDo you still love me Jehovah. If you do, why are my troblems so many. Why are my enemies like the grains of the sand. Why is calamity my predator. I am afraid to chose, to talk, and to act because the repocussion is like an untimely bomb. I chose to serve you, and yet...

FreindLeeStaring at my reflection,
In a future projection,
Standing at the intersection,
Where I change my perception,
I see the correction,
As I choose my direction,
My reflection changes ,
Their reality rearranges,
Only I see the strange synchronicity,
Showing me the future that will be.
It's fun to secretly see me...

Unfettering There are things I seek that seem out of my reach
But maybe if I take a different path,
It would bring me closer to filling
the void that I feel in my heart.
Sometimes, though, through the deafening noise,
I listen to my inner voice
that guides me to an untrodden hike…
World probably trained me to...

The birthright
Do not mistake silence for peace,
nor obedience for order.
A chained heart can smile,
but it does not sing.
There is a flame born in every soul—
not to burn,
but to become a lantern.
To lead.
To warm.
To remember the path home.
Freedom is not permission.
It is not granted by paper or throne.
It is the breath between thoughts,
the courage to speak when...

Soul speakerAt this very moment I realize how much I love you, how amazing you truly are,
That you don't want to just say what you mean,
That you bleed what you believe,
That your heart can't even reach that deep what you feel,
You try so hard to show the real,
This piece of my heart that never leaves,
Because I...

Inner lightIt seems so long since I've seen his face,
This is no longer a home, it's just a place.
If you could catch it, share it,
This one's inner light, it might light the sky
On Earth's darkest of nights.
It might save all of us,
I believe this will happen,
And lighten and brighten,
God's beautiful canvas.
It may be a...

Oh, Wounded Warrior Oh, Wounded Warrior.
Battle lines and battle scars
hidden in plain sight.
Many of us now asking
was it really worth the fight?
Some of us wear uniforms.
Some of us wear shame.
It doesn’t really matter.
The outcome’s still the same.
Missing limbs, missing minds.
Broken, tossed about.
Whipped by winds of chaos.
So often left in doubt.
It’s in the heart, it’s in the eyes.
You’ll...

Now And Then
When my body is sculpted to perfection,
When my beauty gleams without a flaw,
You may whisper that I’m artificial—
But I am not. I am the raw,
Unyielding truth of perseverance,
The echo of battles I’ve won alone.
You question me with narrowed eyes,
Raise suspicions like...

Painted GreyEvery time I try to make things right,
Something breaks or slips from sight.
I hold on tight, but still it’s gone —
Just like the end of a breakup song.
Deadlines chase me through the night,
Redemption’s path fades out of light.
I try to lift the weight I bear,
But it gets heavier in the midnight air.
I hope one day...
