City Of Peach

Flowers, flowers
peach flowers everywhere
in the mountains and lowlands
of the city of peach.

How lucky I am
to see this beauty everyday
and that's because
I have not given up
I struggle to survive
the cold and lonely winter
of this city of peach.

The Light of Salvation

When I close my eyes
I heard the voices
of the spirits
crying for salvation...

When I open my eyes
I saw
the light of salvation
from heaven above.

So near....
yet, so far for the spirits
that are entangled
with the false glitters
of the universe.

Cheers To Myself!

Now I say,
'cheers to myself! '
'cause I am drinking
only with myself.

Oh, not anymore...

Well then,
'cheers to you moon! '...

But the moon...won't come down
for a toast...

Now I say,
'cheers to myself! '
'cause I am drinking
only with...myself.

Love Me, Or Just Leave Me

I don't need your kindness
if your heart's desire
is not my love.

I don't need your sweet caress
if you want from me
is other than my love.

I don't need you beside me
if your mind is occupied
with someone else's thoughts.

Love me,
or just leave me.

Finally

Go on
just take me for granted.

Go on
just ignore me.

You did it once
you can do it twice
enjoy it now
'cause there will never be a third time.

Go on
just take me for granted.

Go on
just ignore me.

It no longer matters
'cause I'm letting you go
...finally.

Decide A Path

You have grown
and your wings are already strong enough to fly
as high as you can.

You are free, and you can see
the many paths that you can take
from now on.

You are free, yes you are free
but don't let your free spirit leads you to nowhere...
decide a path!

The Sun Is Smiling

While watching
the back of the peach maker
the sun is smiling.

While listening
to the voice of the singing gardener
the sun is smiling.

While touching the gentle grasses
as they sway in the wind
the sun is smiling.

The sun is smiling
and it made me smile too.

Hell

Hell
it is a place
where you will pray to die
everywhere is darkness
everywhere is lightning and thunder
everywhere is fire
everywhere is suffocating
everywhere is suffering.

Death
is not the thing to wish in hell
because just like in heaven
no one dies in hell.

Now That I Love You No More

Now that I love you no more
don't talk to me
like the way you used to.

Don't even touch my hand
or get close to me
and hesitate to ask me favor.

Now that I love you no more
don't treat me like the way you did before
because I am no longer the one you used to know.

It's Not Too Late

Trust your heart
try again once more
for it's not too late
to love me again
I still love you.

Trust yourself
try again once more
for it's not too late
to reach for your dream
you're still young.

It's not too late
and will never be too late
as long as you believe..
