’Tis time for a change of heart!
I thank you profusely,
From the depths of my heart,
For promoting me, at last,
To Professor cadre.
If it had been earlier,
It would have been better;
It could have been better,
But it doesn’t matter.
Yet, was it in my fate?
I’as unique till date;
Was it because of others?
Whom I thought were brothers!
What’s past is past;
When things looked aghast;
But we know truth will last;
Though the world is fast.
But I am very glad,
That I’m no longer sad;
My image that seemed bad,
Is better now on pad.
Not a visit, I’ad made;
I call a spade a spade;
And I’as ne’er afraid,
Nor did I look for aid.
And all I know is this,
‘A man aright has bliss’
Though cruel be world’s kiss;
And things do go amiss.
When God is by my side;
And I in Him abide;
And truth is my great pride;
The stormy waves, I ride!
But why such things happen?
And why men jump the fen?
All fruits one day ripen;
All wells, one must deepen.
Why men choose easy routes?
Can one wear always boots?
We eat our parent’s fruits;
And go about in suits!
But shouldn’t we change for good?
Too much is poison-food;
And why to fret and brood?
And why to wear a hood?
Our stay on earth is short;
And life can well abort;
Lets change our minds and heart;
And practice genuine art.
All men are just brothers;
Lets think about others;
Some beasts do need feathers;
A thing with time weathers.
Don’t believe what some say;
Each man will have his day;
We go in God’s way;
Or for our blunders pay!
Lets make this world of men,
And things uneven, even;
Lets make the earth, Heaven;
In time that’s God-given!

Things Are Getting Better
Things are getting better
But still were not together
But I do feel a spark.
Loving you may seem
A little but unseen,
But I still love you with all my heart!
It just feels so right,
To dream of you at night
And wake up staring at your picture!
It may seem funny to know
bUt in my heart I know,
Somehow were still together.
Theres a reason I didnt move on,
cuz your still in my heart
and somehow I cant seem to forget you!
Your love is my drug.
Im addicted to your love
So lets set aside
our foolish pride
and lets make our lifes complete
Lets get together,
now and forever
lets get together again
Your my everything
Your all I ever wanted
yOur my dream when Im not asleep
Everytime I think of you,
all i want is to be with you
even when im fast asleep
Things are getting better,
though were not together
Things are getting better already
Now lets set aside
our foolish pride!
and lets make each other happy!

Sonnet- There Ain't Much Time
The skin just clads the flesh and bones of frame;
Be it black or brown, pink, yellow or white;
For that matter, your God, don't ever blame;
All human Beings are one in His Sight.
Some have a nature sweet that few possess;
Some have a beauty rare of mind and heart;
Let not the problems of the world obsess;
Lets do our duty to God 'fore we part.
There is no time to fret and fume on earth;
There is no time to waste on self, others;
There is no time for many things since birth;
There is no time to blame the next, brothers.
The world takes care of itself if need be;
Lets listen to our conscience truly.

Everything Is Not Enough
It doesnt help you if you scream and shout
That isnt what this thing is all about
And do you really want to fight to win
Youre missing out and thats another sin
Your dream of power is a sacrifice
Do you really want to pay that price
Just think about it and youll change the pace
Look in the mirror tell me who do you face
Who is that?
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop
Nobody loves you if you moan all day
So take it easy then youll get your way
You aint no dummy and Im sure you know
You know its better if you let it go
Youre in control if you let it go
Youre feeling better when you let it flow
You never really had to catch the moon
Youre better jumping to another tune
So lets jump
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop (do, do, do it)
Ive got it all but its not enough
I keep thinking boy I feel so rough
This cant be me, Im such a happy guy
I laugh a lot but I want to cry
A cry for help is just letting go
It hurts a lot but I think I know
Its time for change I dont need the hype
Its time for change and the time is ripe
So lets go
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop...

Everyday
Everyday
Im on my knees to pray
Since I kissed you once
And I held you once
Things have never been the same
And Ive tried
God knows Ive tried
But theres nothing left
In the world today
Thats making sense in any way
Even now, Im in love with you
No matter what you put me through
Therell always be someone like you
Who lets me down again
But every time
Ive tried to make you mine
It seems theres nothing else
I will ever find
That will make you stay
Make you change your mind
Sad to say
Its the same thing everyday
But theres no one else
In the world today
That will make it change
Take the pain away
Even now, Im in love with you
No matter what you put me through
Therell always be someone like you
Who lets me down again
And everyday no matter what I do
Im more and more in love with you
I cant believe its really true
You wouldnt really go

We Are The World - Usa For Africa 1985
There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying, oh, and its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We cant go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
Were all a part of gods great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start givin
Theres a choice were makin

Well, send them you your heart so they know that someone cares

And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start givin
Whoa, theres a choice were makin

Building A House Of Prayer (1)
We need a house God’s praise to sing
A house in which to pray
A house to glorify our King
And serve in truth each day
Before our house we start to build
We must provide for man
Forms and documents must be filled
Consent and building plan
So much red tape must first be cut
Obstructions here and there
The lion’s mouth we need to shut
And God is everywhere
The world machine has need of oil
This truth we all must learn
Before we put a spade to soil
Money’s a grave concern
Lets give to God a willing heart
Not just with praise and prayer
From earthly wealth lets give a part
And show how much we care
Lets lend the plough a willing hand
Lets make His Son our choice
Through bricks, mortar, timber and sand
Lets raise in joy our voice
For Satan hates a house of prayer
Detests a house of praise
He’ll try to hinder everywhere
And stop each wall we raise
But God gives things that cannot fade
In hands of flesh and bone
When foundations in truth are laid
With Christ as Corner Stone…P.T.O

Union
[Chorus]
[One for all, one for all]
[Its all its all for one]
Lets start a union, calling every human
Its one for all and all for one
Lets live in unison, calling every citizen
Its one for all and all for one
We dont want war- cant take no more
Its drastic time for sure
We need a antidont and a cure
Coz do you really think Mohammed got a problem with Jehovah
We dont want war imagine if any prophet was alive
In current days amongst you and I
You think theyd view life like you and I do
Or would they sit and contemplate on why
Do we live this way, act and behave this way
We still live in primitive today
Coz the peace in the destination of war cant be the way
Theres no way, so people just be em wanna be a man
Realise that you cant change the world by changing yourself
And understand that were all just the same
So when I count to three lets change
[Chorus]
Got no time for grand philosophy
I barely keep my head above the tide
I got this mortgage, got three kids at school
What youre saying is the truth, but really troubles me inside
Id change the world if I could change my mind
If I could live beyond my fears
Exchanging unity for all my insecurity
Exchanging laughter for my tears
[Chorus]
I dont know, yall, we in a real deposition
In the midst of all this negative condition
Divided by beliefs, different sink and religion
Why do we keep missing the point in our mission?
Why do we keep killing each other, whats the reason?
God made us all equal in his vision
I wish that I could make music as a religion
Then we could harmonise together in this mission
Listen, I know its really hard to make changes
But two of us could help rearrange this curse
Utilising all the power in our voices
Together we will unite and make the right choice
And fight for education, save the next generation
Come together as one
I dont understand why its never been done
So lets change on the count of one
It takes one, just one
And then one follows the other one
And then another follows the other one
Next thing you know you got a billion
People doing some wonderful things
People doing some powerful things
Lets change and do some powerful things
Unity could be a wonderful thing

Ah, ha, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing up rainbows
But baby, here goes
Ooh, dreams, theyre for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if youre wonderin what this all is leadin to
I wanna make it with you
I really think that we could make it, ooh
No, you dont know me well
And every little thing only time will tell
But you believe the things that I do
And well see it through
Oh, life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I choose the one Id like to help me through
Id like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, yeah, yeah, ooh
Ah, ha, and if I choose the one Id like to help me through

Better World
Hello my friends Im calling to you
The things we believed
Are no longer true
cause were older now
So much wiser than before
The pain that weve felt
We hold deep inside
The dues we have paid
And the tears we have cried
And the emptiness
Can we take it anymore
Have we lost all our faith in our god
And all that we are
When we look at our lives
What are we fighting for
Chorus
Whoa, lets make this a better world
When push comes to shove
What have we really learned
Whoa, lets make this a better world
When youre lying awake with your life in your head
Thinking bout friends who are already dead
We can change
Chorus
Whoa, lets make this a better world
When push comes to shove
What have we really learned
Whoa, lets make this a better world
Is there hope for us all
As were waiting to die
Lying in bed as we take our last sigh

Lets make love, lets make love
So long have I gazed into your eyes
Wonderin what theyd look like on a newborn child
I cannot lie when my hand is on your thighs
Im thinking, isnt it a miracle that life comes from inside?
So long I have listened 2 your voice
Wonderin what it would sound like coming from a girl or a boy
Isnt it funny that when ure truly in love
How just the thought of such things can bring u so much joy?
And I cant wait no more, oh no
Lets have a baby
Oh girl, come and shut the door, go on, shut it

But u got 2 understand

I cant even go 4 a ride
Believe me, honey, Ive tried
Without thinking about a little baby
A baby sittin right by my side
And if anybody in the whole wide world
Ever thought that they could do that 4 me
They are one mistaken girl
Cuz baby, u got me, u got me open, yes u do
And were doing just fine
If u really love me, baby
If u can find the time

Underneath the neon steeple
Well take a gamble and say I do

I know I said I love you
I know you know its true
I got to put the phone down
And do what we got to do
Ones standing in the aisle way
Two more at the door
We got to get inside there
Before they kill some more
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
No time for indecision we got to make a move
I hope that were forgiven for what we got to do
How this all got started Ill never understand
Hope someone can fly this thing and get us back to land
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
No one has the answer but one thing is true
You got to turn on evil when its coming after you
You gotta face it down and when it tries to hide
We gotta go in after it and never be denied
Time is runnin out lets roll
Lets roll for freedom
Lets roll for love
Going after satin on the wings of a dove
Lets roll for justice
Lets roll for truth
Lets not let our children grow up fearful in their youth
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll

When Will Things Change
the world is unworthy and things countine to be dirty when will things change. when the world is full of mess and people just countine to strees, when will things change. when the streets are some of our homes never knowing why were alone, when will the world change. people cry at night just to give up a fight, when will things change. when you need to cry and you need someone 'why' when will things change.
when the world is sour and people have way to much power, when will things change. crying about the past, the things that never last. when will things change. when the world around you is cold, and shared feelings never seem to bold when will things change. when the world comes at you fast and ever part of your stress continues to last. when will things change.
