Rise and Shine

by Jeff   Mar 2, 2005


Born in the jungle,won't live in the jungle
Life is fun to experience,I wanna have my share
As complicated as it is,giving up is a sin
I believe I can fly,fly above and above
Wasn't born to suffer,my dream remains the same
Rise like a star,Oscars is a must
Seen the valleys of earth,enjoyed lots of it
Have seen the pain of love,yet I wanna love again
They betrayed me to death,they wonder how I survived
Walking tall is me,thinking positive is my life
Left alone to die,angels said it was not my turn
Poverty was my talk,look how far I have gone
Life is what you make it of,thanks kindergaten teachers
A star in its own make,no body knew it then
Writing poems is hobby,look how it gives my life back
Have played all rough games,like a saint I wanna become now
Gangs were my choices,look how cruel life can be
You will always shine,grandpa was a hero
Smelling tissues of blood,hated the feeling since day one
I wonder whether you understand me,my brain is on fire
Loved everything,also hated everything
There were days for parties,there were days for wars
Wounded in the war zone,don't know the reason for the fight
I am giving up that life,new chapter to open
Books have got covers,my soul is not an exception
Hold my head down and cry,can't take it anymore
From far I see the light,the tunnel is about to end
They try to smile to me,hypocrite they are
Believed them to be friends,how wrong I was
Rise and shine,this life is yours
