Your Head Held High

Young boy
young girl,
who are you?
You're a soldier in a war.
You have unhealed wounds
and your clothes are torn.
But you can make a life
if you just...

Keep your head held high.
Don't let life pass you by.
Keep your head held high.
Don't let your dreams go
or have them to die.
Keep your head held high.
I can't say that enough
with all the being so tough.
Just keep your head held high.

Hated Love

I'm tired of seeing broken glass
and blood running down my face.
A real prisoner of my life and lost in this place.
As simple as it can be,
I don't want to fight anymore.
He just lost all he had
and it's something I'm not gonna care for.

But as long as the birds fly
and the Sun rises in the East.
So why should I settle for less than least.
So I'll listen to the One above.
I'll sit and pray for the one that loves hated love.

He'd laughed as he hit me
as I cried in pain.
He'd smile in dry warmth
as I frowned in rain.
As life goes on,
so I live in misery.
I'd thought to go on
but he has captured me.

People Outside

This poem is dedicated to the wonderful people of Evaton, South
Africa- Nappy

The people outside desperately want to get in.
The people outside eagerly want to win.

Will this world help at all?

The people
the people outside can't fight from the pain.
the people
the people outside can't hide from the rain.
the people
the people outside
don't know what to say.
they're outside
they're outside today.

I'm a Weeping Willow

I'm a weeping willow for you.
I have tears on my pillow thanks to you.
You're the only one I'd give up the sun on rainy days
or forever be lost than to ever find my way.

I'm a weeping willow.
I've cried more than you'll ever smile.
I'm a weeping willow
yet I love you
and that's how, that's how
I live.

It's you I want
and it's you I've got
in my branches
can't you see?

I'm a weeping willow for you.
I've cried more than you've smiled.
It's true.

Left Alone

Everytime you walk away
I start to cry myself away.
People tell me to leave you behind
but they don't know how I feel.
They say I'm just wasting time
but they're too illusional to know what's real.

I don't wanna be left alone
here to die.
I'll have you
no matter how much I deprive.
I don't wanna be left alone without you.
My heart will be broken.
The love will be stolen.
...and be left alone.

You see how many people don't make it.
You see how many people try to fake it.
Don't you leave me here naked.

Let me breathe.
Let me breathe.
Let me breathe.
Let me breathe.

I'll Cry

I'll cry
if you don't.
I'll cry
if you won't.

If you don't come back.
I don't want to live like that.

I'll cry
you know I would
like the rain around me.
I'll cry
you know I could
if there's no one to give me a way.
Everytime you're gone.
Everytime you're away.
I'll cry.

Have It All

I guess you could have anything.
I guess you would do anything.
So what do I do now?

I guess you could have it all.
I never wanted anyway.
If you could have something
you could have anything at all.
I never thought of it as much,
now it's gone.
Everything.

I guess you'd know everything to say
to make me change my mind.
I guess you control me somehow
to make me jump over the line.

Tryin'

If I could stop the rain from fallin'
and make the sun come out.
Make the birds fly
I wouldn't mind tryin' now.
And if I could stop myself from cryin'
and make a smile
you know I wouldn't mind tryin'
No, I wouldn't mind tryin' it out.

I'm trying to make a difference
and now I can make it.
I'm to make a change
this habit I'm trying to break.
And now I can't fake it.

Dusty

Rose pedals on the floor.
Secret love letters slide under the door
Romantic movies on the screen
Too bad this is just another dream.

'Cause you never took the time to realize how I felt.

Dusty
more dusty than ever before.
Dusty
more dusty I'm sure
that even through all this
you, I won't miss
Dusty, all dusty.

Why won't you get it?
Just forget it.
regret that we ever were.
the love we have is dusty
more dusty than ever before
I'm sure.
