Around The Sun
I want the sun to shine on me
I want the truth to set me free
I wish the followers would lead
with a voice so strong it could knock me to my knees
Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming
Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off
Hold onto this boy a little longer
Take another trip around the sun
If I jumped into the ocean to believe
If I climbed a mountain would I have to reach?
Do I even dare to speak?--to dream?--believe?
Give me a voice so strong
I can question what I have seen
Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming
Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off
Hold onto this boy a little longer
Take another trip around the sun
Around the sun
Around the sun
Around the sun
Let my dreams set me free.
Believe. believe.
Now now now now now now

This world is big and so-awake
I stayed up late to hear your voice
This light is here to keep you warm
This song is here to keep you strong
I made a list of things to say
But all I really want to say
All I really want to say is
Hold her and keep him strong
While Im away from here
Hold her and keep her strong
While Im away from here
Hold her and keep him strong
While Im away from here
Ive seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her
Ive seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold him
Hold her and keep her strong
While Im away from here
Hold him and keep him strong

Hold On
Justice to the left of you
Justice to the right
Speak when you are spoken to
Dont pretend youre right
This lifes not for living
Its for fighting and for war
No matter what the truth is
Hold on to what is yours
Jigsaw puzzle traitors
Set to spill the beans
Constitution screw up
Shattering the dreams
Blood flows in the desert
Dark citadels burning too
Watch! look over your shoulder
This one is strictly for you
Hold on - hold on
Wait maybe the answers
Looking for you
Hold on - hold on
Wait! take you time
Think it through
Yes! I can make it through
Hold on - hold on
Sunshine shine on through
Hold on - hold on
Sunshine shine on you
See it through
Talk the simple smile
Such platonic eye
How they drown in incomplete capacity
Strangest of them all
When the feeling calls
How we drown in stylistic audacity
Charge the common ground
Round and round and round
We living in gravity
Shake - we shake so hard
How we laugh so loud
When we reach
We believe in eternity
I believe in eternity
Hold on - hold on
Wait - take your time
Sunshine shine on through
See it through
Hold on - hold on
Wait - maybe a chance
Sunshine shine on through
Is looking for you
Sunshine shine on you
Hold on - hold on
Hold on - hold on
Sunshine - shine on shine on you
Sunshine - shine on through
Sunshine - shine on shine on through
Sunshine - shine on you
Sunshine - shine on - shine on you
Hold on - hold on
Sunshine - shine on through
Wait - take your time
See it through
Sunshine - shine on - shine on through

I Think I See The Light
I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words,
Until I found somebody, there was no one I preferred,
My heart was made of stone, my eyes saw only misty grey,
Until you came into my life girl, I saw everyone that way.
Until I found the one I needed at my side,
I think I would have been a sad man all my life.
I think I see the light coming to me,
Coming through me giving me a second sight.
So shine, shine, shine,
Shine, shine, shine,
Shine, shine, shine.
I used to walk alone, every step seemed the same.
This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain.
Look up and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor.
Until you came into my life girl, I saw nothing, nothing more.
Until I found the one I needed at my side,
I think I would have been a sad man all my life.
I think I see the light coming to me,
Coming through me giving me a second sight.
So shine, shine, shine,
Shine, shine, shine,
Shine, shine, shine.

They Thought I Was A Thief Too
They thought I was a thief too
Get those handcuffs jiffily
Let us brace him
How I quaked!
In terror we pray
Gnash our teeth
Our knees knock,
Our hearts resigned to fate.
It was my voice and identification
That affected my release
I was simply lucky
One of them knew me.
In terror we pray
Gnash our teeth
Our knees knock,
Our hearts resigned to fate.
Now I can exhale
I came closely calamity
Jaws of exclusion closed in on me
But Samson's grip loosed them again.
In terror we pray
Gnash our teeth
Our knees knock,
Our hearts resigned to fate.
I swing and exalt like Lekeleke
But I also quiz;
If God dwells in thick darkness,
Must I too?
In terror we pray
Gnash our teeth
Our knees knock,
Our hearts resigned to fate.

Kiss The Day
These are the days we throw away
The Words we never say
"I'm so fragile, and so wrong"
And we're still knocking on the door
Of a world that's gone before
Until the real thing comes along
Kiss the day, on it's way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day, and await
To hold you in it's arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day
And now I've seen enough to know
Though the truth can leave you cold
It can always lead you home
Back to the place where we belong
To the time when we were strong
When we could blow away the storm
Kiss the day, on it's way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day, and await
To hold you in it's arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day, kiss the day
These are the days we throw away
The Words we never say
Till the real thing comes along
Kiss the day, on it's way
And the sun will never shine
In your eyes like the skies
And the darkness will arise
Kiss the day, and await
To hold you in it's arms
And the light will never fade
Kiss the day

Call It Evil (demo)
I've been around watching little late shows
Drink a lot of beer
Like playing cards with my friends
Call it evil
Call it pain
It goes knock, knock, knock-knock-knock-knock, on my door
It goes knock, knock, knock-knock-knock-knock, on my door
That rock and rock, yeah, call it evil
That rock and rock, yeah, call it evil
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, on my door, Yeah!
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, on my door
Going to get as my babe.
It goes knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, on my door
Playing sopwith in the back of my head
What you trying to be crazy?
People look at me, they look at me, but you're dead
Call it evil
Call it pain
It goes knock, knock, knock-knock-knock-knock, on my door
It goes knock, knock, knock-knock-knock-knock, come on
Knock-knock-knock-knock, one more
Knock-knock-knock-knock
That rock and rock, yeah, call it evil
That rock and rock, yeah, call it evil
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, on my door
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, on my door
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, on my door
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, on my door

In Vein
I destroy myself,
I will not give me a chance
Feelings
ha
just a glance.
In vein I try to fix myself,
forget about crying for help
The monsters that live inside me,
nope...
never free.
In God I trust,
men feed on me
with lust.
Where do I go?
At what cost?
Hope for me lost?
I know that the world is suffering more than me,
I pray all the time on bended knees.
It's just that I have given up
in vein
no guts!
Ashamed I am to admit my truth,
no longer seeking my youth.
the only message I have to convey,
don't ask me questions today
If I had an answer for you,
keep your heart
just be true.
Beyond all this darkness,
the sun will shine
hang on in vein
just be strong!
Today I Shine
From the struggles of yesterday, today I shine
I have climbed from the ghetto that had me blind.
I was scorned by the curse of black stereotype
But my life has changed and today I shine
Just like the Diamonds of Africa,
Today I shine
I would not look back at my dark past,
Its lessons have taught me a whole new path,
A path though rough, the end is clear
Because my life has changed and today I shine,
Just like the Diamonds of Africa,
Today I shine.
I am stronger today than yesterday,
Because I'm on my feet, not on my knees
I have a voice and I would speak out
Because my life has changed and today I shine,
Just like the Diamonds of Africa,
Today I shine.
I have traded my rags for brand new robes
No more begging or free-loading.
When I walk in the court, you'll hear "All rise! "
That's because my life has changed and today I shine,
Just like the Diamonds of Africa
Today I shine.
Today I am what my ancestors couldn't be
A judge in the court as you all now see,
One thing I know, my conscience is free
I will always hand down a fair penalty.
That's because my life has changed and today I shine
Just like the Diamonds of Africa
Today I shine.

Do You Know The Truth?
Know the Truth, it will set you free, Christ is that Truth, and It is He.
To know the Truth is personally, do you know The God of Eternity?
The real truth is more than fact; it is Our Lord, who is coming back.
Today are you free in The Truth, or will you see His strong reproof?
This Truth that you come to know, goes with you wherever you go.
Will you have Truth by your side, the very day after you have died?
And this Truth that sets men free, also helps the blind men to see.
Did you receive the sight to see, the only Truth that rules Eternity?
When you see The Eternal Truth, you will be Christ’s living proof,
That God truly sets men free, as a changed man is what men see.
They’re freed from a darkened past, given a freedom that will last.
Freedom offered to both you and me, in Christ through all Eternity.
Christ is the only Truth you need, in this life to be set free indeed.
Do you have this freedom friend, that in Christ Jesus will not end?
His freedom always brings peace, even as other freedoms cease.
Will all your earthly freedom end, when you see our Savior friend?
God’s plans never fail my friend, as Satan learned way back when.
Are you still under Satan’s guise, or has Christ opened your eyes?
God sent the Savior Jesus Christ, as the freedom men need in life,
Will you embrace The Truth and be, free in Christ for all of Eternity?

The Truth Is Always For Free! !
To shine forth through the dark with your love,
To shine forth the rain with my love,
To shine forth through the wind with your muse,
And like all the rivers that flow into the seas;
So, teach me only righteous things and,
I will follow you.
Come and touch my heart with your love,
Come and change my heart with your care,
Come and lead me on with the peace of your mind;
For, the truth is always for free! !
And, i need you to guide me on along this narrow path.

One To Believe
Fire at will
Your turbulent spill
The angst the rage
For being locked in a cage
They are wrong they are wrong
But who will believe your song
For you are guilty to the world you see
They dont want to hear your cries
They claim there nothing but lies your guilty
I will listen i will cry your name
Until they release this blame
I will never give up the fight
To right the wrong
And make it right
Your will gets weaker every time we speak
Trust in the truth
Please dont give up on the freedom you seek
The isolation an fear
Has taken its toll over the years
With you resentment has arrived with all its gears
But one day you will be free
I will find the truth you will see
Please hold on just a while longer
My voice is getting stronger
Please please do it for yourself and me
I will i will get you free
Now that you are free
What was the cost
Almost your sanity
Lets not stop or let it be
We can take on the world you and me
One Voice For Counterrevolution
Our back against the wall,
One voice to lead us all, we won't fall
Deliberation for retailitaion,
One strong hand to hold us together
Separation by crucifixion,
All powerful blood that set us apart
We need a counterrevolution,
To fight against this world,
To rise against this world
You grasp us with your greedy hands,
You try to take us for all you can
You suck ever last drop of blood,
Until there's nothing left until there's no one left to break

The Land Of Planty
Don?t really know who sent me
To raise my voice and say:
May the lights in The Land of Plenty
Shine on the truth some day.
I don?t know why I come here,
Knowing as I do,
What you really think of me,
What I really think of you.
For the millions in a prison,
That wealth has set apart ?
For the Christ who has not risen,
From the caverns of the heart ?
For the innermost decision,
That we cannot but obey -
For what?s left of our religion,
I lift my voice and pray:
May the lights in The Land of Plenty
Shine on the truth some day.
I know I said I?d meet you,
I?d meet you at the store,
But I can?t buy it, baby.
I can?t buy it anymore.
And I don?t really know who sent me,
To raise my voice and say:
May the lights in The Land of Plenty
Shine on the truth some day.
I don?t know why I come here,
knowing as I do,
what you really think of me,
what I really think of you.
For the innermost decision
That we cannot but obey
For what?s left of our religion
I lift my voice and pray:
May the lights in The Land of Plenty
Shine on the truth some day.
