THERE IS

There’s such a creature called rose,
    so beautiful, yet harmful
There’s such a thing called love,
    so wonderful, yet painful

CHORD THAT REMAINS

A singer once sang
of a black haired girl
whose eyes like jewels
with smile like a pearl

    The words have disappeared
    long faded through the sky
    only the love they’ve shared
    remains unchanged as a memory

But the tone still rings on
and the chord has never gone
as my fingers gently play
a music without gaiety

ONLY IF

Thousand years of my life I would share
    for a single minute of your time;
Thousand beats of my heart I would give
    for a single breath of your life;
Thousand love of my soul I would send
    for a single piece of your affection;
Yes, I would
if I only could!

I USED TO

I used to have laughter;
    It’s gone, but not far enough
I used to have desire;
    It’s run, but not quick enough
I used to have a dream;
    It’s left, but keeps coming back
… but this time I promise
    There will be no way back

SURVIVE

There was a war
    I survived;
There was a disaster
    I survived;
There was a pain
    I survived;
There is hurt
    Why wouldn’t I survive?

LET ME BE

A guiding star,
    I couldn’t be
A sailing ship,
    I couldn’t be
A bridge,
    let me be…
