When a beautiful Mercedes car breaks into a run just for show, its show of speed leaves turbulence in its wake.
When it shows up among its fellows, they feel a compelling need to go for a break.
Never to be called average, it conjures a sphere of class around itself, then stands alone.
A car looking too good to be true, you need not bother for a clone.
Oh, how often many of us merge with the crowd, scared to stand alone.
Joining bandwagons at every bus-stops of life, feeling fly and 'forming' woke.
Future feels disappointed; many are comfortable in shadows, too many sleeping on queues.
Another day is here. Future awaits the emergence of the real you.
Like a beautiful mercedes kicking back dust, leave turbulence of achievements in your wake as you go about paying your dues.
Patti se ghasri oos ki bund hu mai
Bhinn mera rang nhi;
kya sirf iss wajah se pani m gum hu mai?
Thoughts on our collective mind
Not just the dental kind
Give thanks for what you've got
Cry not for what you are not
We are here to serve you well
That you, may others tell
Smiles to make you proud
Smiles to help you stand out from the crowd
Whispers float, gently across a sunless sky
a little note, opens wide these sullen eyes
a faint heart beats strong again
thinking of not then, but when
when we'll be together, as one
watching forever, the rising sun
skipping rocks and holding hands
kicking off shoes, building castles in the sand
building a life, turning a house into a home
sharing smiles and secrets, never to be alone
In a world full of souls, many searching too
In a world of diversity, people of many hues
filled with choices and beautiful voices
taking many a path, a found love rejoices
it takes a special heart to stand out
to rise above
to show me your love
there has never been a doubt
baby, you stand out
where do i start
i guess i'll enter here
i am but i mere insect as an observer on the shade
the stillness of the night causes your true beauty to move
no man has ever appreciated you, yet and still you keep it all in control
where do i begin
i guess i'll remain in this spot
i am but a mere insect as an observer on the shade
the calm of the quiet calmness causes your natural essence to shine
no man has ever really supported you morally, yet and still you remain focused and ready
where do i originate
i guess i will become a mainstay right where i am planted
i am but a mere insect as an observer on the shade
the gentle breeze of the darkest hour causes the mystery of you to become more complicated
no man has ever sincerely loved you, yet and still you remain hopeful in your journey and keep the faith
blow your horn
turn your lights on
stand up and be
counted
be a champion
for you were born a
cat
and you grew
to be a lion
some or still able
to push it under the table
that will not be
you see
the
TRUTH STANDS OUT
you can be in demand
with gods hand
don't run
there to be done
come out of the sun
no doudt
you must
STAND OUT
walk tall
don't fall
be a strong wall
those under you
they watch what too
no doudle
you must
STAND OUT
Maybe its time i spewed my guts,
Society, the thing that keeps us all in line?
ha, yea right, its just another draw back in this thing called life.
All the posters, the billboards, the commercials, and press
Don't you realize, its creating a standard for which we all dress.
Not a creative mind springing to life, no not this time,
just more drones falling into the pattern of social inclines.
Children beg for phones, and cars,
Parents dish out money, and teen beauty stars,
Don't we have our own minds anymore?
Not a soul willing to break the chain?
well not again, not today, im not standing for this
Ive been programmed to fall astray.
