I Decide

This is a song (kind of) that i had written about 4 years ago, on the request of a friend with Drugs as the topic. Perhaps it didn't make it to wherever it was expected to....lol. Just for keepsake i'm posting it here.

I DECIDE

Temptations come my way
Once every single day
From someone who is near
Who's a friend or a peer
They say it'll make me cool
In college and in school
They think that i would choose
Their way, my life to loose

But...
I know what's best for me
And what i want to be
No one decides for me
Am as sure as can be
My heart can see the way
To a much brighter day
And therefore i decide
Don't need drugs by my side

Oh its a fact you see
Just one try can make me
Loose those i hold dearly
Grasping me completely
Leading my life blindly
I will not think clearly
And give in willingly
to this drug completely

See...
I know what's best for me
And what i want to be
No one decides for me
Am as sure as can be
My heart can see the way
To a much brighter day
And therefore i decide
Don't need drugs by my side

There are many choices
To run from these voices
Can you choose to stand strong
And keep from going wrong
Can you look inside you
And say that you can do
Without this drug that thrills
Which in the end but kills

Is my way wrong?

Is my way wrong?
(Henry Lalmawizuala)

I have never gone the other way
I've never strayed away
I have never ever felt that i am wrong
But through all my complicated life
I've never been this lonely
Lord i need to know is my way wrong?

For i am now in pain
and my tears are on my cheek
there's a storm up in my head
and the light i see is dim
is my wrong? Lord
cause' i cannot see my way
i have struggled in this way
and i've always thought its right
if my way is wrong, Lord
then put me on the right path
if my way is wrong, Lord need you now
Is my wrong?

Many times i've tried to be the one
the one to die for you
but no matter how i try i never win
so release my mind of all my sins
and tell me that i'm yours
for i need to know
Is my way wrong?

Make things right (2008)

In solitude
i let my mind briefly tread
the life that i way back led

and sometimes wonder at 
all the things that i had done
things i had done for fun

Much joy it gave me then
my mind like a bird did soar
but it don't do that no more

becoz i have now seen
all its uselessness for me
results, i was meant to see

i blame myself alone
for all the useless things done
which can never be undone

i then wish there were things
i could do to make things right
to drop the burden that'd make the heart light

but see, this is the truth
there is nothing i can do
nothing one can do for you

for this is how life is
we do right and we do wrong
from birth to death all along

Herein lies the lesson
and herein lies the beauty
of our life on earth you see

the mistakes that i'd done
were there just to let me know
the right way for me to go

if it weren't for the mistakes
i had made along the way
i'd not have learnt to say

thank you lord for everything
that had come along my way
all the mistakes and regrets
will now lead me the right way

Beauty of Life!

Looking from my window
at the street beneath my door
i see people happy and gay
the others i cannot say

Some seem confused with themselves
others searching to find their selves
some seem worried with their life
and others show weight in their stride

Some think of all things possible
to get what they want in plentiful
some try to think of a way
to get enough to eat for a day

While there are others who don't seem to care
whats in store for them out there
revelling in the moment of their joy
which they really seem to enjoy

And I cannot help but wonder
who will be stronger when put under
a test to endure the misery
that life stores in our destiny

Is it those that worry to find solutions
or those that worry not to come to conclusions
all that i can do is question
and maybe at times give a suggestion

And this is the beauty of life
not knowing what its gonna be like
for if we were to know before
surprises we wouldn't adore
And this is the beauty of life
not knowing what its gonna be like

So blessed

i do not wake up to maids serving me tea and breakfast
i do not move around in limousines and private yatchs
i do not have a purse full of cards and cash
everyone may not acknowledge me when i pass
but today i woke up and felt so blessed
so blessed to have a family that loves me so much
so blessed to have a husband who loves me this much
so blessed to have a job i enjoy so much
so glad to have someone up there who has blessed me this much
