I'll Protect You
Verse 1
I saw the tears in her eyes
which reeked of desperation
I told her everything would be alright
no need for isolation
she knew well that I would help her
cause my heart went out to her
I said it once, I'll say it again
with me, there's no need to worry
I will protect her
and help her to survive
Chorus
There's no need to cry
there's no need to fear
I will be the protector that you need
so don't cry,
I'll be by your side
I'll Protect You
Verse 2
Her body was trembling when she came to me
why should she endure the pain and suffering
he puts her through
each and every day
without reservation
so I held her in my arms and said don't cry
Chorus
There's no need to cry
there's no need to fear
I will be the protector that you need
so don't cry,
I'll be by your side
I'll Protect You
He Walks Alone
Verse 1
He Walks Alone on a road paved with sorrow
wondering what would happen if he took his life
He Walks Alone
like a motherless child
He Walks Alone
Bridge
All he wants to know is
does anyone really care
or should he abandon this world of despair
He Walks Alone
Chorus
He Walks Alone
with no where to go
no one sees him when he's crying
even in his heart he walks alone
with no where and no where to go
He Walks Alone
with no where to go
no one sees him when he's crying
even in his heart he walks alone
with no where and no where to go
Verse 2
In his world there's nothing to fight for
the pain inside his soul runs as deep as the ocean
He Walks Alone
like a fatherless child
He Walks Alone
Bridge
All he wants to know is
does hope still exist
or should he abandon
this world he thought was his
He Walks Alone
Chorus
He Walks Alone
with no where to go
no one sees him when he's crying
even in his heart he walks alone
with no where and no where to go
He Walks Alone
with no where to go
no one sees him when he's crying
even in his heart he walks alone
with no where and no where to go

A Silent Voice
Verse 1
I saw her pass by my window
on a cold winter night
I saw a tear run down her face
as she looked into my eyes
and begged me for a dime
I saw a child with no life in her eyes
I saw a child with no desire to survive
and as I gave my hand
she looked into my worried eyes
and with A Silent Voice
she asked me for my time
and begged me for a dime
Verse 2
In a way I sense some strength in her
yet misery and pain
describe exactly who I see
so I say to her
you need to find a way to live
and then she looked at me
and begged me for a dime
I saw a child with no life in her eyes
I saw a child with no desire to survive
and as I gave my hand
she looked into my worried eyes
and with A Silent Voice
she asked me for my time
and begged me for a dime
Verse 3
And as I gave my hand
she looked into my worried eyes
and with A Silent Voice
she asked me for my time
and begged me for a dime
Life Is A Struggle
Walk with me by watching the Lyric Video for this song under the "video" link
Verse 1
He looked across the ocean
and dreamt of a better life
he closed his eyes and took a deep breath
and decided it'd be alright
if he took a chance
across the ocean
he might make it through
If he only knew
that Life Is A Struggle
no matter how far you may go
it doesn't matter
where you live or where you die
your strength is in your heart and soul
search for that peace within your life
you have the power to survive
you're like a river that can't be contained
but Life Is A Struggle
Life Is A Struggle
Verse 2
Little does he know
that it takes a lot
when you're all alone
trying to survive
in a world so cold
but he knows he can
even though they say he can't
so he'll take a chance
across the ocean to see
if he'll make it through
If he only knew
that Life Is A Struggle
no matter how far you may go
it doesn't matter
where you live or where you die
your strength is in your heart and soul
search for that peace within your life
you have the power to survive
you're like a river that can't be contained
but Life Is A Struggle
Life Is A Struggle
Verse 3
search for that peace within your life
you have the power to survive
you're like a river that can't be contained
but Life Is A Struggle
Life Is A Struggle

Redemption
Verse 1
So many people on the run
running away from oppression
so many million miles to go
only to find some salvation
I've seen the fear in all their eyes
searching for some compassion
and this time they won't take it anymore
they're fighting for some redemption
they're praying for some redemption
Chorus
They know it's gotta to end
it's gotta be a time for Redemption
the moment for salvation has arrived
now and forever
Verse 2
They're searching for a better life
cause they want satisfaction
they know it has become
necessary
to seek out a new direction
but I've seen the strength in all their eyes
searching for some compassion
and this time they won't take it anymore
they're fighting for some redemption
they're praying for some redemption
Chorus
They know it's gotta to end
it's gotta be a time for Redemption
the moment for salvation has arrived
now and forever
so they're begging for redemption
I'm Still Trying
This song was written to my grand-mother, Edith Boncy. It's not about her, but rather a message from me to her. I miss her every day.
At times I sit and wonder
are you watching over me
cause I miss you so much
no matter how long
you've been gone
I miss you
I've been wanting to
tell you
that I've been okay
but there is so much
I want to say to you
I miss you
still
I've been wanting to
tell you
that I've tried my best
to be the man
you always prayed I would
but I'm still trying
I'm Still Trying
I've been wanting to
tell you
that I've been okay
and I've tried so hard
to be the man you wanted me to be
I'm Still Trying
I'm Still Trying

Cynical
I was just really upset one day at the world, and I hated the fact that my daughters would have to grow up in a world that was anything but desirable. I guess I was just venting.
Verse 1
I wish that I never had to tell you
but it seems to me that life is full of hate
even though I know it's wrong
to tell you through this song
but I need you to know
I wish that I never had to tell you
but it seems to me that no one really cares
in a way it's how I feel
I know it's Cynical of me
but I need you to know this
Chorus
I need you to find a way
to understand how I feel
any maybe you'll know in your heart
I'll protect you
I want you to know this
Verse 2
I wish that I never had to tell you
but it seems to me that everyone is scared
to lend a helping hand
to their fellow man
I need you to know this
I wish that I never had to tell you
that there's so much Bull Shit in this world
in a way that's how I feel
I know it's Cynical of me
but I need you to know this
Chorus
I need you to find a way
to understand how I feel
any maybe you'll know in your heart
I'll protect you
I want you to know this
In Your Eyes
I wrote this song for my first born, Ayanna in 2004, but never recorded it professionally. After the birth of my second daughter, Amina, I decided to dedicate the song to both of them by recording it and including it on "He Walks Alone." Walk with me and with my girls, Ayanna and Amina by watching the video for this song under the "video" link.

In your eyes
I see the love I have inside
ooh you've given me

all your treasures

And all my life
I needed you
you came for me
and you saved my soul
Chorus
In Your Eyes
I can see
all the love you've given me

and I know I am alive
all my dreams have come true
when I look into your eyes it's true

In Your Eyes
I hope you know that I love you
In Your Eyes
You mean everything to me

You challenged me
to be the best that I can be
