Greedy Heart
Money is always not enough
prices keep going up
People's salaries are not high enough
Only the governors' pockets are filled up
I wonder what color a greedy heart is
I'm guessing 'black' it is
I wonder why these things happen
The answer needs to come out in the open
I wonder when all these will end
Just pray
The truth will be revealed in the end

White Lies
Though sometimes it tastes as sweet as a can of sugar
Looks gorgeous as an African cougar
Feels romantic as an evening star
But as midnight lingers
A warning sign is triggered
Its meaning hidden
Its blade sharpened
Just like a sparkling dagger
Puts you in an elusive danger

Despise
Tired of listening to those excuses all the time
So don't give me those words refined
Those stories I won't buy
To all the lies you hide
So blow a kiss- goodbye

Compliments for a Lover
Your smile is like a wind blowing in the spring
Your eyes look like a golden ring
But the best compliment I have ever known
is that 'you are the I want to own'

Chance is a key to anywhere
No one knows what will happen there
We should gather our power
Do our best to make it better

Everyone treats you as good as their family
Having their company, you're never lonely
You believe your life is full of luck
The truth is, they just want your money

My beauty
In my life she is a sweety
She hugs me when I am lonely
She worries about me when I am busy
She smiles when I laugh crazily when watching TV
For me she is the one and only
This beauty is my lovely mommy.

This is the End of Our Story
You walk away with joy
I stay here
with all the memories, oh boy
No one has to say sorry
It's just another story
without a fairy.

Dreams (Pauline)
Deep into the silent night,
Stars shining bright,
Children soundly closed their eyes,
To a place they'd never been twice,
It's a land full of marvel,
Where dreamers travel,
So fast asleep the children fall
Their stories begin to roll.

It was the descendant of Cain,
Living in dim damp fen,
Slumbering in his quiet den.
The giant creature with powerful strength,
Opened his eyes, bared his teeth,
For the joy of Herot broke his serene.

Guilty
We live in a world
where people commit sin
and feel no guilt
The day of judgement will come
to punish us
for our unforgivable crime
Unable to to fulfill
the order of the Father
Because after all
deep in our soul
We're no different
from monsters

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Am I the most beautiful girl of all?
What do you mean by silence?
I don't want to know
There's still someone who loves me
waiting outside these walls
Come on, just make the truth be told
I promise I won't let my tears fall
Whether your answer is 'yes' or 'no'
I. will. go.

Change
People say it's all about 'change'
But what is the range?
Falling apart in pain?
Or stand firm in the rain?
I say, a good life is definitely not easy to obtain
but everything is worth the gain
No matter what happens in the end
An unshakable faith sustain
We should all believe
We can stand up for ourselves again.

Love Travellers
We become love travelers for happiness
We become injured travelers for sadness
No matter when passionate summers come
No matter when indifferent winters come
We walk hand in hand
in our voyage
for a love that stands
the test of time.

Without You
The moon in the sky
Alone at night
I think of my life
And think deeply in my mind
Lots of ways in front of my eyes,
I choose the future for my life.

break the moral chain,

Time and money will be asked to pay,

Though so much effort made me insane,

Knowledge is hard to gain,
Without using my brain,

I used to think that life already has a plan for me
Until I realized that life has to be planned by me
I've spent all my life wondering about who I have to be
but I guess, I just have to be me.

And regret why I didn't study harder.

Someday Dream
You said your dream is going camping by a stream
Without thinking of work or worrying anything
I asked when will that day be
Your answer is always that might be
You keep saying you'll fulfill your dream someday
Why don't you just shut up, and do it today!

Summer Farmer
There is a farmer who sprinkles water
in the middle of summer
The land is plowed by his hoe,
and beads of perspiration on his cheeks flow
He words hard every moment
for he could gain the harvest by the end of autumn

Dreams at night are a devil's delight;
Dreams in the morning heed an angel's warning.

Learning
Don't think reading is very tough
After you read you will be touched
Don't you think writing is very annoying
After you write it
You will feel amazing
Don't think reading and writing is very simple
After you do them again and again
You can get something meaningful

I see you are in pain
You blame yourself
And fall into pieces
You are lost in a maze
Let me be your lighthouse
to guide you to the right place
If you still feel depressed
and no one knows
Let's go to the lighthouse,
drink till the world ends.

Miracle always happen unexpectedly.

Accidents sometimes happen suddenly,
To grasp every opportunity,
because everything happen randomly.

Love
When I was a little girl
I think love is a pearl
The purest thing in the world
Then I met love when I was twenty-one years old
The wild wind makes me fall
I can hardly find myself
No matter how I call
I realize love is a black hole
Just as I can never forget his mole

Ironical Truth

The fact is
You call me darling
but everything you do is nothing.

Anger
I won't spare no lives
Everything is in my stride.
I won't take no prisoners,
Visit me with no quarter.
Walking side by side with Death,
I mock your step.
Oh Lord, do I seem bulletproof?
Or another silly fool,
Who tries to get loose from the noose?
I guess I am simply cynical,
Playful, not respectful,
as Lucifer the fallen angel.
