the awful feeling of being alone
when night time comes and the light is gone
i look at the stars across the nightsky bright
my eyes with fear and my heart with fright
...

a smile comes out of nowhere
it brings with it love and cheer
a smile sets our moods right
it brings loved ones near
...

It was an old chap, with an old little stick,
Big white moustache, a coat-the colour brick.
He walked alone, near the ocean blue,
Back bent, quivering hands, a ripped up old shoe.
...

Destiny depends on who you are,
Where you are and what you are.
Life is full of surprises, I agree,
But it curtails the liberty of being free.
...

my dear friend...u give me peace
my love for u will never cease
cos u are my world...my all..my everything
you're the one who lessens my suffering
...

do you feel my pulse? cos i don't
check my heartbeat, cos beating it won't
my breath has stopped, i got no more air
and i'm all numb, the feeling's not there
...

this life of mine....just like trees
with happy moments falling like dead leaves
with problems like roots.... branching out
when i get cut down...i just scream and shout
...

friendship is a a ship that never sinks,
it's an eye that never winks.
without friendship, life's a waste,
so make friends with everyone without haste.
...

'See my power', the sea shouted to man,
'I can crush houses, as well as buildings as flat as a pan'.
Man argued, you can destroy a lot of lives,
But the rest of us have protected ourselves with pitchforks and knives'.
...

my mother, she calls me selfish
my father, he doesn't trust me at all
sometimes i feel my parents would do anything
just to hurt me and make me feel small
...

away and far, away from my life
separated, torn away, away from home
all of a sudden, pulled from my chair
my body taken away, my soul left to roam
...

I stepped on a broken ladder
the first step crumbled beneath me
I took another step, it kept on breaking
one step, two step, three...i could see
...

why are you the way you are
why do you want me hurt
does our friendship mean anything to you
why do you treat me like dirt
...

when times are hard and you are blue,
my dear friend, i'll be with you.
to let you hold my hand and shed your tears,
i'll stay by your side for many more years.
...

life has been hard as hard can be
and now it's my turn to run and be free
i feel like life's just beginning to shine
on this perfectly dull world of mine
...

Foolhardy promises aren't kept to part
on one knows the pain when it breaks the heart
when you believe something you know is not true
it aches even more when you want to believe it too
...

When i'm angry and when i'm mad
the whole atmosphere around me turns bad
my blood starts boiling and temper shoots out of my head
and i turn completely the colour red
...

I come through the trees, i blow through windows
hurry past hurdles, mountains, the highs and the lows
you feel me sting during the monsoon rains
i'm wild and free, can't keep me in chains
...

We are a group, a democracy
with right to speak out and right to be free
our system, you see is a little inapt
you can say, our system's corrupt
...

i sit by the phone, but no one calls
not a soul, not even a single one
then a realization upon me falls
i got no friends, i'm friendless, of course!
...
