Three Stars

Three Stars

What is the worth of souls

When measured it's weight in gold?

What is the worth of a life 

When taken in the night 

3 bright stars 

Slowly begin to dim upon this Earth

But by the grace of God they'll shine

In their glorious rebirth 

I sit and weep in agony 

While the world looks on in vain 

People caught up in pleasure and pain 

For personal gain 

But we cannot attain 

The being in the Human 

Unless we live for one another 

My soul it weeps 

It weeps 

For misunderstanding each other

And although I never met you all

Your light has reached my heart 

A piece of me I've lost a part

While you suffered by the spark 

Your legacy will live on

And by God my eyes are woken

I cannot bare all of your pain 

So these words I have spoken 

To God we all belong 

To God we must return 

Let not your fate be in deep vain 

And may we all stand up and learn 

I reach into my breast 

And draw the sword of unity 

Together we must stand 

All one under the tree 

All one under the tree 

All one under the tree 

Together we must stand 

All one under the tree 

My Boy

My Boy

The air is full of hatred 
My lungs feel saturated
With visions of war 
And apocalypse 
The hour is near son 
I'm feeling it 

So while you lay down your head 
In your mamas lap
Just remember 
That your papa gotta stay strapped 

I keep an arsenal of words for
The enemy 
Cos while they still breath son 
We can never be free 

But Gods word is the utmost ultimate
Never forget what I teach you 
In this cold world 
Because the hour is near son 
I'm feeling it 
And your papas gotta fight
For the White pearls 

See they're out to get us 
And I ain't down with that
They choke to provoke 
And leave our kids trapped

So take a long hard stare into your mamas eyes
For the future rests between faith and demise 

There's so much I wanna share with you my boy 
Like a world full of peace kids playing with toys 
Sat around the kitchen eating family meals
Watching movies through the winter while we cuddle and chill 

See there were days before this
Before the hatred
Before the air in your mamas lungs became saturated

Before the drones attacked us and destroyed our homes
Before the hour came near
And mama turned to bones 

Before papa got a scar and lost an eye 
But remember my son
That your Lord ain't blind 

For the vision of truth that He has given to us
Must remain in our hearts 
In this treasure we trust 

Cos when the hour is here
All I want from my boy
Is a joyful tear
While we sit and rejoice

As our saviour comes 
And breaks the cross with his hand
And leads us all back
To the promised land 

So my boy don't lose faith 
My boy don't lose hope 
My boy stay grateful
And reap only what you sow

For the machine cannot provide
You with this love
That your mama and papa
And the Lord bestowed from above 

So with this love in your heart
Grow up and be a man
Mama and I are waiting for you
In the promised land

These Words

These Words

As I fill up the needle with ink
And pump these words right into my veins
I'm reminded that these words will bring me no gain
But are words more potent when covered in fame?

These words make my name
6 followed by 5
These words bring me shame
Sex followed by lies
These words aren't the same
They're hollow inside
These words are insane
They follow my mind

Flip it
Change the rhythmic flow
These words bring to light
What my heart doesn't show
These words make me feel I'm big and I'm known
Like I'm finally grown
But these words never know

What they're doing inside
The letters and messages
Old newspapers
Emails and credit lists
Diaries stuffed behind cushions with feathers in
Hidden from people
Yet cuddled and read with them

These words unite nations
Like letters from presidents
Or breed holy war
From the venomous terrorists
These words can distort everything from within
Or return our souls to a permanent residence

Flip it
Change the rhythmic flow
These words are a part of my heart and my soul
They soar through the stratosphere all over the globe
And settle near graves like
Dark feathered crows

These words are our own
These words are mine
These words belong to you and I
With these words we reach the sky
And with these words we all must die

These words can change
They all hold fate
They all take blame
They all could hate
They all could save
They all create
They all could push our fears away

These words can bring us brighter days
Or these words can shackle hearts like slaves

These words are what we use today
To try and find a better way

They say the pen can slay the sword
These words can pierce our skin and more
The ink it runs right through my veins

But are words more potent when said again?
