NYMPH IN THE MARKET PLACE

And now you can go to the market place

Where the market women of Africa can dance
With their wares all around
African woman you are so beautifull
I have traveled away from Africa
I have traveled thousands of miles.
From Grece to Australia
But no one can be like the African woman
You welcome me to the shores of Africa
With a smile
You welcome me to the shores of Africa
And I sleep on your laps
And
Don’t worry African woman
As you walk the market square
Like the Queen you are
I know the cries in your heart
I know your need for love
And I will love you with my heart
Cause im but an African man
And in the warmnsess of this African sunshine
We can hold hands together forever
And when I see you in the market place
I know in my heart you have a place
And when I see you in the market place
I know you arre as strong as a pillar
Smile African woman
For tomorrow shall be allright.

AND TIME…………………..
YOU FLY AWAY
LIKE A BIRD IN THE SKY
AND TIME
YOU FLAY AGAIN
LIKE THE SUN BY MY WINDOW
TURNING ON MY BIRD
WISHING TIME WILL GO AWAY
MUST TIME IS A MASTER I MUST BATTLE
AND TIME ………………………………
YOU FLY AWAY……………………………….
Y

FOR TIME IS A PEACE OF TEASURE

I MUST CHERSISH
AS THE HOUR GLASS SLIPS BYE
INTO ETERNITY
THE BOUNDARIES OF MY EXISTENCE ARE MARKED
I MUST CEASE IN MY TIME
BUT THEN I MUST RUN MY DUE RACE
AND TIME YOU FLY SO BYE
BIDDING ME NTO TO WASTE THIS TEASURE
WISH I COULD GO BACK IN TIME
TO REPAIT THE ERRORS OF MY PAST
BUT I MUST BATTLE INTO THE FUTURE
LIKE A WARRIOR
OR THIS TIME WILL GO AWAY
OH
O TIME……………………….

LAGOS

There is a city without boundaries

Where the borders expand everyday
There is a city sitting by the atlantic ocean
Like a beauifull woman
Driving men who gaze at her beauty
To sleep by its shores day and night
And the people there go about in a hustle
Every one in a hurry

THE PALM TREE

T

The palm tree fell on the sea

Scattering the water everywhere
Palm tree
Guardian of men’s souls
Where men gather everyday
To drink palm wine like a
Child its mothers milk
Palm tree
Milk of the earth
Standing tall in the forest
Palm tree
A shade from the wicked sun
A relief from the bitterness
Palm tree
I will tap from your wine
Every body is drunk with your wine
Palm tree
And when I clime your branches
I am in the sixth heaven
High on your precious juice
Palm tree
Symbol of Africa
Stand like a King in the forest
Where you hide all day
Till the wine tapper finds you out
T

I will climb your palm top

I will drink from your palm top
The tree of life
As regal as the one in God’s garden
Only that your juice gives me life
The virgins dance about your majesty
And I bow before you like a king
Even though you are but a tree
You bring vitality to my soul
Even though you are but a tree
Your wine gladdens my soul
Even though you are but a tree
You stand as proud as the sun
O palm tree joy of my heart

MEDITATIONS ON TIME

FOR TIME GOES BYE
LIKE A BIRD IN THE SKIES
BUT I WISH I COULD SEE TOMMOROW
LIKE SOME SORT OF SEER
L

FOR TIME GOES BYE

LIKE A BIRD IN THE SKIES
BUT IF TOMMORROW BECOMES TODAY
AND TODAY ANOTHER TIME
THEN IT DOESN’T MATTER
FOR NOW, TODAY AND TOMMORROW
OR TOMMORROWS WE ALL DIE
FOR THE GRAVE TO TELL OUR STORIES
OH TIME HOW YOU FLY AWAY.
O

FOR TIME GOES BYE

LIKE A BIRD IN THE SKIES
I WISH I COULD CHASE TIME
BUT I WILL ONLY CATCH IT’S SHADOW
I WISH I COULD HOLD TIME IN MY HANDS
BUT I WILL BE HOLDING THE AIR
I WISH I COULD KILL TIME
BUT I WILL BE JUST A DREAMER
I WISH I COULD BREAK AWAY FROM TIME
BUT THEN I CAN NEVER ESCAPE
THE ETERNAL PRISONER OF MANKIND
WHICH MAN MUST OBEY
LIKE A KING
I WILL DETHRONE TIME ONE DAY
DON’T ASK ME HOW
BECAUSE TIME IS CRUEL.
B

THAT ACIENT KING

FROM TIME PAST
HOLDING THE SWORD OF FATE
IN HIS HANDS
ETERNAL GUARDIAN OF MANKIND
A CRUEL SWORD ON MAN’S HAND
AND I THOUGT
I MUST CONQUER TIME
LIKE SOME SAVIOUR FOR MANKIND
I MUST BE MAD
BUT I MUST MAKE MANKIND
TO SEE THE LIGHT OF IMMORTALITY
CALL ME A BLASPHEMER
BUT I SURE CAN
FOR I MUST BREAK THIS HOLD OF TIME

WINDS OF PAIN
W

The wind swept across the desert

As I looked across the sand
Into the hour glass of time
I

The wind swept across the desert

As I looked for one last time
At the sorry sands of time
Never again to go to the past
I have only one life to live
Not 2 but only one
And everyday when I wake up
I thank God for making me strong for another day

I have only one life to live

And I must make the best of each day
And I must leave legacies behind
So future generations will remember me.
So when they read about me
In the books of great men
They will know a great man
Once bestrode the sands of this earth
O

I have only one life to live

And I must leave my mark behind.
And when people point to my grave.
They will say my all I gave
And they will say I made the world a better place to live
I must live for each day
Giving my strength away
I must live for each day
Cause tomorrow is another day
For me to shine again

RAIN

Let the rain fall on my body

Pouring the midnight sensations away
P

Let the rain fall on my body

Wish it was time to stay
Wish this moment will never go away
And as the rain falls again
It brings back memories to me.
Now let the rain fall on my body
Carress my bed sheet away
Hold in your arms
Let me see the tears in your heart
Which falls like the rain on my window
Let me forever be your man
Let the rain wash our pains away
Let us start a new day
Where we love each other forever.

THE STARS
T

Now I draw the stars into my hands

Promising yesterday, tomorrow and the future
Now I draw the stars into my hands
I see into the stars
Im the prognosticator
I am a mixture of spirit and human
I draw the stars into my hands

LORD HAVE MERCY

L

Oh Lord my God
Let the works of my hands be blessed
Guide me and show me the way to wealth
Break the doors of wealth to me
Whoe me where the treasures are stored
In the dark places of the earth
I

Oh Lord my God
Let me ride in the high places
With Kings and Queens of the earth
Let me among the great men
That I may recount your goodness
To the sons of men
And I might show your light to the world
A

Oh Lord my God
Everything your hands has made
Bright, clean and good on creation
And I know
That the hands that shaped the Universe
Will shape your life
And I know
Your destiny will be fulfilled
Let the saints of God praise his holy name
Let the blessings of God fall like the rain
Let there be joy forever among the sons of men
Oh Lord My God.

And the Lord said to me:

A

All the nations of the earth shall call you blessed

T

Black man
Black nation
A thousand years of history
Now before my eyes
N

Black man
Black nation
Cris-crossing every country
In Africa
See the people crying for freedom
See the people looking at the sun
S

Black man
Black nation
I will cry out in agony and pangs
As I see sorrow in the land
As I see vultures flying everywhere
A

Black man
Black nation
Agony will come again
And the story that never was will come true
Cause the tragedy of the black man
Must come to an end
M

Black man
Black nation
Black sun
A dawn of hopelessness
Why must the sun grow dark over our land
Time and time again
I see the vultures and witches flying
High in the skies
To suck our blood and land
Black man, Black nation
When will you be free?

CHILDREN OF AFRICA
C

Let the children of Africa gather

Let it be a joyous nation
Let the children of Africa gather
To sing out a glorious song
Now that the sun is before us
N

Let the children of Africa gather

With songs in their hearts
Let there be peace throughout Africa
Let the waters of the Nile
Calm our hearts
Let the waters of the Nile
Wash the tears and sorrows away
To usher in a glorious future
That will not be defined by corruption
That will not be defined by colonialism
Let Africa rise again.
L

AFRICAN HISTORY
A

I woke up Yesterday
With a thousand years of History
By my side and heart
So I say this to Africa
Let my words touch the land of my forefathers
Let my tears sweep the coasts of Africa
Let this be the last time there ever will be
Tears and sorrows throughout this land.
T

A thousand years of glory

Now lie in the future
Like a prophet I foretell your future
Like a soothsayer your destiny
And I know the tears will be in the past
Africa, I love you more than my wife
Africa my bones are seized with the spirit of war
My head burns with pride and glory
In my hands I hold a key
To the greatness of Africa
I will unlock the gates of treasures to Africa

Tragedy of the child Soldier

T

Now I carry a gun in the forest

Boom Boom goes the gun
Louder and clearer
Let us shoot and kill
Taken from my mothers breast
Now im a man
Though I am only 10
But I will trudge on with my hate
Let the earth take my blood
Let the ground my hate
Let the time pass in a hurry
Cause I do not want to see this again
But a bullet will hit my face
And I must grow in this African sun
Tragedy of the child soldier
As I talk on and on.
A

Le the earth feell my fury

In this growing African sun
Hate, despair hopelessness
I must carry my gun
And shoot again
I must carry my gun
I sink my gun in the sand.
Never to remember time again
For the bullet wounds kill my soul
And as I depart this earth
My ghost will cry for freedom
M

I sunk my gun in the sand

Never to fight again
Cause a dead body does not fight
Killed by the guns of war
When will I ever be free.
W

SORROWS OF THE AFRICAN BOY

S

There was a day the African boy

Fought so hard in the sun
With his gun
That he died and went to God.
So he asked God why
Why so much sorrow and pain
Why so much corruption, poverty and war.
And God looked in misery
And sent his sun
To heal our land
Don’t worry Africa God said
For I shall restore your greatness
And all those who make you cry
Shall call you great again
So the boy slept on the sands of war in peace
For he knew God will fight for Africa
Even though the world looks in Sorrow

AFRICAN BEAUTY
A

I can see your beauty

In this rising African sun
Rising with the waves of the sea
R

I can see your beauty

In this rising African sun
And your beauty takes my heart away
A

I can see your beauty

In this rising African sun
And you are like a smile in my heart
A

I can see your beauty

In this rising African sun
And we will rest on the dusts of Africa
And we will rest on the dusts of this farm land
Where we can look at the stars all night
And dance among the trees all days
My father used to tell me
That spirits live in this forest
But now I know it’s an Angel in the forest
Cause I found you here my sweetest love
The antelopes dancing about here
Seems to be celebrating our love
And the stars in the sky
Seem to sing a love story to us
So hug me in the African sunshine
S

I can see your beauty

In this rising African sun
I will take you my love
To my forefathers grave
Then we will swear out eternal love
That binds us this morning
In the sweetest African sun
I an feel your arms over my body
Come into my little house
Though not a palace
It is nature’s playground
A paradise of nature and love
And when the two of us are together
I can see your beauty
In this African sun
I

I can see your beauty

In this rising African sun
Chatting and talking to each other
Like a bird
And you are like honey to me
And I’m like a bee
For as honey goes with bees
So do you and I go together
Look at the African sun my love
And declare your love for me
I can see your beauty
In this rising African sun

BORED SOUL
B

Bore doom over my head

Pains over my pillow
I will recount my soul
In this moment of silence
I

Bore doom over my soul

O God! I need human company
And in the loneliness of my soul
I sing this song to you.
Oceans of expression in my soul
Waiting for me to ponder
Let me show you my heart
My heart is like a castle
With many treasures inside
Knock on the gates and enter
For I’m waiting for a visitor
I will show you treasures of knowledge
You have never known
My heart is a treasure
So I write this to you.
S

RAIN IN MY HEART
R

Rain, rain,
Rumble my heart away
Rain, rain
Go and never come again
And if you pound on my roof
Like mortar on a pestle
Pounding my head like yam
Rain
I see your smile in the skies
Like a beautifull virgin land
Pouring into my heart
It seems you have a message from the divine
Sending messages of love to me
Though you are but rain
You sound so divine
Wish it could rain forever
Where my heart will be at rest.
W

Rain
You tower over my heart
Lile Mount Kilimanjaroo
In all it’s beauty
O rain
You are more beautifull
Than a naked woman
You are more majestic
Then the Queen of England
You are more
Y

And when the rain falls on my body

It emnbraces and caresse me
Making me feel loved and nurtured
Rain
You cause me joy and pains
And the joys and pains of the rain
Make me want to cry in pain
And as rain falls over my body
Embracing me like a blanket
My body will shake from the cold
Like a woman in an Orgy
And my soul goes to the rain
Cause the villagers will say
It is the cry of the gods

Rain

And when
A

And when like an angel……..

I fly away to paradise
And when
Like a demon
I see the nether world
Then spirits can gather by my bedside
Lookint at my face
Throught the mystic glass
I am not a wizard
But just a thinker
And when………………………….
I wonder if there is eternity

And when
Tears in my eyes
Wondering at the fleeting time
Must I grow old and die
And the skeletons and spirits
Stare at me from the nether world
Then I know the passage of time
As eternity welcomes me
My heart must stop beating one day
I am not afraid of ghosts
Cause one day I will be one
I am not afraid of time
I am on a spiritual journey
To seek that which was lost
And when……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

SPIRITS IN MY HEART
S

And when in the spirit realm

I speak of Ghosts
Then I see the dawn of the demons
I think we hum,ans are spirits
Spirit man waling in human flesh
Grazing the face of the earth in a second
Cause you will be gone soon
Ponder your heart at eternity
For you will not live perpetually
The eternal place is your resting home
So sleep on till you get home
So till the ground with your hoe
Work till the day is dawn
Cause you will never be alive again
So gaze at eternity in disdain
S

ANOTHER REALM DREAMS OF MY HEART

A

This realm is not my realm

This world is not my world
I speak of the spirit world one day
This time is not my time
I speak of one world one day
Were angels and men live together
I speak of time unednign one day
But I seem a mystery to them
I speak of one world one day
While I am locked in my body
My flesh I carry with a heavy burden
Limited by time and space
I speak, I speak, I

The graveyard
T

This is the place where thorns and thistles grow

The Imaginations of men’s heart is set on fire
T

This is the place where thorns and thistles grow

Where the wastes of the earth wonder
W

This is the place where thorns and thistles grow

Where the souls of men wonder
In the darkest parts of the night
Where there are howls and shrieks
W

This is the place where thorns and thistles grow

Where day turns into night
The skeletons in my body rejoice
At the side of the graveyard
Cause we must all be there one day
This is the place where thorns and thistles grow.
T

This is the place where the graves grow

Into my heart
Sounding again
This is the place where spirits grow
The howls and shrieks that scream in my heart
Send me to the place where I belong
But death I stare at your face
In wonder at the passing of time
For now death stands by my window
Smilling at me
Now death lurks at my shadow
Saying now is the time for eternity
As I step by my grave side
I know there will not be another time
Dead bodies scattered about
Like leaves falling from a tree
And the shadows of death draw near
For this is the place where thorns and thistles grow
The voice of the departed ghosts
Singing celestial songs from above
It is not too bad to die
For then your soul can rest
Bone to Bone
Dust to Dust
Fill my heart with dust
F

ARROW IN MY HEART
A
An arrow from the celestial world
Sending my soul to death
An arrow from the nether world
Making me to see the dark shadows
Dark places of the earth
Where the spirits lie in Agony
An arrow into every man’s heart
Death strikes it’s sword on the earth
Setting the souls of men ablaze
Death why are you so wicked?
A lightining strikes the earth
Sending the souls of men astray
Turning men into ghosts
Like Zombies wondering into the dark places
And the earth starts crying
For many are the pains of the earth
Death sending it’s arrows
Agony mixed with pains
And in the estacy of my soul
I die again
Never to be born again

LOVE

Fill me up with your love

Desires of the heart crying at night
Crying to its only maker
Who shall mend this broken heart
Torn apart from heart to heart
Tragedies of my heart
Echoes of my voice
Inside my heart is a void
Only you can fill it
Come to my heart again
Pain and pain apart again
Tragedy of my heart again
And as the rain falls again
I will cry in my heart again
So love me in this pain
Cause my heart is crying in pain.

SPACES IN MY HEART (A SEARCH FOR GOD)

S

Fill me up with your love

Desires of the heart crying at night
Crying to its only maker
Who shall mend this broken heart
Longing for the rivers that flow beside Eden.
Like the fruitfull tree of life
I will cry again
For the days
Where these spaces were perfect
And the desire for perfection is genuine
As genuine as real silver
With no pain or blemish
The road to the celestial city
Is long and narrow
But I must go through the thorns
At peace with my maker
As quiet as an abandoned house
As peaceful as the calm waters
Cause my soul must be restless
Till it finds it’s makers
Cause my soul must be restless
Till it runs across the deserts of time
To a place called Eternity
Eternity is the void in my heart
Which I must seek like a rare treasure
For as the holy books say
The kingdom of Eternal
Is like a priceless treasure
For now again I depart this earth
To search for a priceless treasure
To go for a place where I will find pasture
Like a sheep following it’s shepherd
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Humble is my soul
Let me be crucified
L

Let me be glorified
For my body rusts in dusts
Awaiting the streets of gold
My heart parts with my soul
To go to distant lands
Lands I cannot imagine
So let me ruminate
On the dusts of time
To places I cannot imagine
To the histories of great and small men
To the divine hands that write the messages
Messages of the divine in my heart
On a journey into my soul
Like a ladder
Angels ascending and descending
Bringing a message from the divine
Let my heart part into 2
To welcome the holy one
Let my soul melt like candle wax
Before the fires of time
Then I will be purified
With the passage of time
Oh let my soul rest
Let my soul fly into paradise
Like an eagle in the air
Let me grow wings of divinity
Wings of divinity in my soul
Oh let me be
As I meditate in God’s garden
Oh let me be
O
