Close your eyes, pray

In the heavy rains on the small street

Amongst the darkness and scorching heat

A child is born, a beautiful little face

A strong heart has just begun to race

In an unknown world she just stepped

Smiles around as she first wept

This is the world that you have come in

This is the place you’re gonna stay

Destiny just unfurled this way

Close your eyes, pray

Its gonna be okay

Across the street in blistering cold

She found her place, or so she’s told

Her eyes shimmer like a summer day

Ten years of life have come her way

Last night she was just a stray waif

Today, big man in the house keeps her safe

This is the world that you have come in

This is the place you’re gonna stay

Destiny just unfurled this way

Close your eyes, pray

Its gonna be okay

A few more years of life she has seen

Don’t remember how many, neither does she

No longer a summer day

Her eyes now home to nasty chafe

Playing daily is she the wife

To the power of a gun, blade or knife

This is the world that you have come in

This is the place you’re gonna stay

Destiny just unfurled this way

Close your eyes, pray

Its gonna be okay

Her endurance in this torment is what pays

No pain in the body, just in heart it stays

On the bed of nails, there she lay

As scavengers bite off their favorite prey

The rest of her life, she bears this thorn

While in the darkness of the streets, another child is born

This is the world that you have come in

This is the place you’re gonna stay

Destiny just unfurled this way

Close your eyes, pray

This world is not okay

Our Story

I see the rain

It reminds me of you

I feel the pain

And all I think of is you

I stare the sunlight

Till it set

Thinking of the first time

That we met

And I feel the happiness

All over new

There must be a story

Of me and you

Give it all

Not expect it back

See all the good things

And nothing I lack

See the dreams

Believe the love

Whenever I was down

You were there to hold me up

Every dream that I saw

It was coming true

Such was the story

Of me and you

The memories are now

As the pictures were then

Like shadows of the clouds

We moved too fast

We moved away

Only to meet again

We do it over and over

Yet the feelings remain the same

It can never end

It'll continue

Such is the story

Of me and you

Soothing arm

What do you do when you see a heart and feel just hollowness

See a whole life succumb to emptiness

See someone lose entire happiness, feeling just loneliness

What do you do when he feels absolute meaningless

Suffering a touch which is just feelingless

Do you see the painfulness the helplessness

You do see the limbless the listless the loveless

The childless the roofless the nameless the lifeless

Living every moment sleepless in the lightless wildness

Bearing resentment in your eyes and just barrenness

Realizing all your life’s just purposeless

Do you see the worthlessness in your perfectness

What do you do when it all hits your consciousness

You realize what you’ve given to the world is nothingness

Do you ever give more when all you get is less

Give some time away from your thoughtlessness

Extend a soothing arm to the one in mess

                                                 How else will we bring the brightness to this darkness

Out of your business, gaze at the graveness

Answer the question asked in mere daftness
Do you choose to live in the blindness or the rightness

Extend a helping hand to the needy
You never know how much it means to them.
