Believe In Yourself

BELIEVING IN YOURSELF
By Allan Clarke
It's completely illogical believing in anything
if you don't believe in yourself, 
believing in self means believing in God. 
Each and everyone has the ability to become great
if you are willing to take full responsibility of self. 
Self is where counting begins, you are always number one. 

The more self confidence you have, 
the more fears you eradicate.
Your determination to defeat anything
and everything that comes in the way of success 
means you are ready to defeat fear. 
Holding on to fear is destruction of self.
Conquering your fears means overcoming the likes of poverty.

With confidence and tenacity the greatest leaders 
along with the brave men and women in uniform, 
the United States have conquered the world 
to become one of the greatest nation on earth.

Today I recognize and hold on to the fact that, 
I am number one, I take full responsibility of self, 
I am confident, tenacious and brave, 
I am capable and ready to conquer the world. 
And so it is.

The Oak Tree

“THE OAK TREE”

Everything happen in life has a reason
Just as every major event has a season
When you think someone is trying to put you down
Or drive you to the ground
Don’t you disappoint them
Just let it be
And don’t forget to say
Thanks for planting me

Way deep down
And deeper I will be
So deeply rooted
You may never move me
For the next five hundred years 
This is where I’ll be
A proud spiritual monument
For all the world to see
God Bless your lovely heart 
How happy you will be
To know the best you’ve ever done
Is plant a lovely oak tree

The I Within Me

“THE I WITHIN ME”
In your eyes I might not be right
But I know I’m not wrong
You said I’m not a part of you
But I know where I belong
You live with so much hate
But my love remain strong,
Stronger and stronger
I know I will be
The same soul you have in you
Is the same soul I have in me.

Everything in this Universe
Is for you as it’s for me
My dreams become Reality
Because I believe in me
The same I within you
Is the same I within me
One Love one aim
With the same destiny

A star of the Universe
And that’s how I will be
Because I know that my God
Lives inside of me
So if I am within you
And you are within me
Whatever in this world
That I cannot be

I may not walk on water
I may not Part the sea
I may not raise the dead
Or even cause the blind to see
I know I am powerful
A roaring lion I will be
I will never be a victim
Of this society
One thing I know for sure
And forever it will be
The same I within you
Is the same I within me

Breaking Free

Breaking Free

Of all the roads of life I know
Of all the seeds I sew
Of all the burdens that I bare
Of all the love I show
Of all the broken hearts and dreams
Of half the world don't know
Of all that I could ever bare
It's time that I must go

Of all the times we fuss and fight
Of who is wrong or right
Of all the days I work so hard 
Of all the sleepless nights 
Of all the challenges that I face
I now accept the plight
What's good for you is good for me
We must give up the fight 

We've shared our dreams
We've shared our hopes 
That's where it all begun
There goes our efforts
There goes our plans
Yet still a happy song
Together to be no you no me
For us we don't belong
It is what it is and it must be
Let's sing a happy song

Now like a bird away I fly
Unto my destiny
Unto a place where I must find
some sweet serenity
Sometimes in life we have to go 
where life wants us to be
And as I know the seeds we sew
The fruits are what we'll see
You live for you I live for me
Let's set our Spirits free...

Thanks, for breaking free...
