I am yours forever

With all of your beauty and honesty on your face
i think i just found my hearts pace
You complete me and make me so whole
without you in my life i would have no soul
I am yours forever and think it's worth knowing
that this love i have for you, will never stop growing

My African Dream

My dream, a dream of peace
a dream of laughter and ease
children running free
playing in the streets
without violence just peace.

A dream of sunrise and sunsets
the african way
where our hearts stay,
acceptance as we are
like just another star.

For this we are yearning
respect we are earning
Africa the nation without race
Africa the reflection of my face

Where do i stand?

Years ago you stole my heart
i gave in from the start
i give you everything
my love is free
everyday with praise i sing
he loves me, he loves me.
But now i think what if its true
those words i hear- he's cheating on you
im so confused my heart is crying
and everyday my trust is dying.

I wish youd tell me with all honesty
exactly what you want from me
im done wasting time on you
and worrying about what you do.
Before you take this hand
you tell me were i stand

(Afrikaans) Winter Hart

In die hartjie van die winter
in die winter van my hart
Lê ‘n leegte ongeneeslik
‘n Koue donker pad
Soos die storm wat hier buite dreig
die sneeu wat wit kom lê
Is daar koue in my lewe
is daar niks wat ek kan sê
Soos die winter windjie waai
en die wolke sneeu laat val
Is daar leegte binne my
‘n hol kol en dis al
Van somer soene
en sonskyn liefde
Na oë wat geen sins glans
as ek jou nie kan hê nie
sien ek vir niks anders kans
Die spasie waar jy pas
is in die holte van my hart
En niks sal ooit jou plek vat nie

My Child of the Sun

My child of the sun
i know yur scared
how far will you run
for what are you prepared?

My child of the sun
open your eyes
look infront of you
look up to the skies

My child of the sun
why are your running so far
what do you want?
A piece of the moon or a big bright star?

My child of the sun
your flames burn bright
the day has long begun
and still your out of sight

Condone my stupidity

Adjusting myself to suit your needs
reaping the wrong of your deeds
not saying out loud what i felt
not so sure if i could've dealt
with all the hate i had inside
for you, your body and your pride

Without you i felt bent, torn apart
knowing it was wrong from the start
staring at you i knew too well
that you were hurting me but refused to tell
anyone who asked why
i chased away and silently cried

Alone i sat in my room
with all those feelings of gloom
wishing that i could through them aside
i angrily felt that i had lost my pride
forgiving you, i never can
forgetting you, i am!
