Will You Still Love Me?

I only have two eyes
to adore you
I only have two feet
to walk with you
I only have two arms
to carry you
I only have one body
to serve you
I only have one heart
to love you
I only have one soul
to offer you...

Will you still love me?

If I Die Today

If I die today,
will you be holding my hands
and beg me not to go?

If I die today,
will you kiss me softly
and gently whisper goodbye?

If I die today,
will you promise me to be strong
and go on living?

If I die today...

If...

Last Night They Had A Fight

Their hands are fast
removing the buds
on separate peach trees.

They work, work, work
no talking
no smiling.

The radio announces 10 o'clock
they sit
they drink
and they eat
no talking
no smiling...

last night, they had a fight.

The Farmer's Song

....and the farmer sing a song
a song of bountiful harvest.

His face covered with sweat
but he smiles as bright as the sun
and the farmer sing a song...

'Oh, gracious heaven
thank you for this day
thank you for this bountiful harvest.'

It's Alright

If one day you will find
that you're no longer in my memory
and your name, I cannot say
will you hold my hands and say,
'it's alright.'

If one day I will find
that I'm no longer in your memory
and my name, you cannot say...

It's alright.

Ticket To Loneliness

Do you want a ride to loneliness?

Here's a ticket for you...
It will only cost you
self centredness
laziness
greediness
indifere nce to the people who love you
hatred
and stubbornness.

Now I ask you again,
do you want a ride....
to loneliness?

A Little Of Your Time

All I want
is just a little
of your time.

Oh, darling
please give me
even just a little
of your time.

The north
is too far
and a year
is not that soon.

So please, darling
spare me a little
of your time
to embrace
and kiss me
before you go.

While You Can

Life is short
so do what you can
while you can.

Play if you can
work if you can
fall in love if you can
laugh if you can
cry if you can
sing if you can
dance if you can
dream if you can
while you can.

Life is short
so do what you can
while you can.

Gigantic Dragon

Gigantic dragon
I wonder not
you're hungry again
it's because you've got a big stomach
that needs a lot of food and water.

But gigantic dragon
oh, please spare the little heaven
of the tiny shell
so you won't be called
just a greedy gigantic dragon.

I'm One Of You

Come
share with me your laughter
share with me your pain
share with me your strength
share with me your fear
share with me your despair
share with me your hopes and dreams
share with me your love
share with me your life...

Trust me...
I'm one of you.
