Step On the Road

Take up 
your 
clothes,let 
go
Let us 
journey 
through 
this world 
of unknown
Let's mingle 
around this life 
of emptiness
Step on the 
road to see...

Open your 
eyes to see 
the future
Foresee the 
hope we 
think of this 
life
Bring to 
reality the 
mines that 
flows in 
your heart
Innovate 
the void 
world of 
ours we 
dwell
Step on the 
road to see...

Let get out 
of the 
shackles of 
ignorance
Free from 
the hole 
that blind 
our day light
Strengthen 
the bone 
that 
obstruct 
our looking 
up
And feast 
on the 
knowledge 
of truth 
Step on the 
road to see...

Trample on 
the talk of 
deceit
Adhere to 
the rule of 
truth
Fight the 
wild animal 
in the 
jungle
Battle with 
the enemy 
of 
achievement 
And 
innovate 
the road to 
see the 
world we 
expect.

The Value

The tree 
has fallen 
The 
domestic 
choose the 
ways of the 
wild 
Rules are 
broken
Things fall 
apart
The virgin 
have lost 
her virginity

Where is 
our aged 
father?
They have 
follow the 
old whether
Who shall 
immortalise 
this?
Its loosing 
its value
The infant 
are blind 
Who shall 
open their 
eye?

The old 
value I 
desire to 
drink its 
water
But the 
fallen rain 
polluted it
Let dance 
to the beat 
of the gong
But our feet 
are fixed to 
the rhythm 
of another 
drum

We can not 
see the 
value 
Come!he 
becone  at 
us
The infant 
are weak
They have 
lost the skill
The old are 
mute
Their voice 
crack
Who shall 
exhume the 
value From 
the grave 
the grave of 
our aged 
father? 

The 
value,still 
fresh in the 
memory of 
the old
But the 
infant are 
blank of it
Let the 
domestic 
restrain the 
wild
Let the 
ancestors 
be called 
upon 
But can the 
value 
stand?
