Oh Lord my God
Let the works of my hands be blessed
Guide me and show me the way to wealth
Break the doors of wealth to me
Whoe me where the treasures are stored
In the dark places of the earth

Oh Lord my God
Let me ride in the high places
With Kings and Queens of the earth
Let me among the great men
That I may recount your goodness
To the sons of men
And I might show your light to the world

Everything your hands has made
Bright, clean and good on creation
And I know
That the hands that shaped the Universe
Will shape your life
And I know
Your destiny will be fulfilled
Let the saints of God praise his holy name
Let the blessings of God fall like the rain
Let there be joy forever among the sons of men
Oh Lord My God.

Black sun
A dawn of hopelessness
Why must the sun grow dark over our land
Time and time again
I see the vultures and witches flying
High in the skies
To suck our blood and land
Black man, Black nation
When will you be free?

I woke up Yesterday
With a thousand years of History
By my side and heart
So I say this to Africa
Let my words touch the land of my forefathers
Let my tears sweep the coasts of Africa
Let this be the last time there ever will be
Tears and sorrows throughout this land.

Rain, rain,
Rumble my heart away
Rain, rain
Go and never come again
And if you pound on my roof
Like mortar on a pestle
Pounding my head like yam
Rain
I see your smile in the skies
Like a beautifull virgin land
Pouring into my heart
It seems you have a message from the divine
Sending messages of love to me
Though you are but rain
You sound so divine
Wish it could rain forever
Where my heart will be at rest.

Rain
You tower over my heart
Lile Mount Kilimanjaroo
In all it’s beauty

You are more majestic

You are more

And when
Tears in my eyes
Wondering at the fleeting time
Must I grow old and die
And the skeletons and spirits
Stare at me from the nether world
Then I know the passage of time
As eternity welcomes me
My heart must stop beating one day
I am not afraid of ghosts
Cause one day I will be one
I am not afraid of time
I am on a spiritual journey
To seek that which was lost

ARROW IN MY HEART
A
An arrow from the celestial world
Sending my soul to death
An arrow from the nether world
Making me to see the dark shadows
Dark places of the earth
Where the spirits lie in Agony
An arrow into every man’s heart
Death strikes it’s sword on the earth
Setting the souls of men ablaze
Death why are you so wicked?
A lightining strikes the earth
Sending the souls of men astray
Turning men into ghosts
Like Zombies wondering into the dark places
And the earth starts crying
For many are the pains of the earth
Death sending it’s arrows
Agony mixed with pains
And in the estacy of my soul
I die again
Never to be born again

LOVE
Let me be glorified
For my body rusts in dusts
Awaiting the streets of gold
My heart parts with my soul
To go to distant lands
Lands I cannot imagine
So let me ruminate
On the dusts of time
To places I cannot imagine
To the histories of great and small men
To the divine hands that write the messages
Messages of the divine in my heart
On a journey into my soul
Like a ladder
Angels ascending and descending
Bringing a message from the divine
Let my heart part into 2
To welcome the holy one
Let my soul melt like candle wax
Before the fires of time
Then I will be purified
With the passage of time
Oh let my soul rest
Let my soul fly into paradise
Like an eagle in the air
Let me grow wings of divinity
Wings of divinity in my soul
Oh let me be
As I meditate in God’s garden
Oh let me be
