Give him a pencil and he'll draw gun, A war, a terrified face a needle in the eye Ask him why his head hurts and he will reply If I do not see blood, a headache will occur He grew up in the bush, no mother or father to discipline Oh-oh the rebels they say they love him they teach him to fight, they teach him to hate, kill, oh destroy cold heart. Oh oh oh oh oh oh But I, I fear to sleep so I will walk to St. Mary’s, oh oh Oh, I cry in my mind, cos when I think my heart it beeps The L.R.A are his friends, along with AK47 | Abducting friends his own age and hunting by the night. The children they play war games to improve their fight, all day they have no love, no conscience left or right. Every night and sunrise my legs hurt again, I’d rather sleep so safely I’m doing my homework in dim light on the damp floor One blanket to sleep. Oh oh oh oh oh oh, to sleep. Oh oh oh oh oh But I, I fear to sleep, so I will walk to St Mary’s oh oh oh, I cry in my mind, cos when I think my heart it beeps But why? Why is I there no peace? Acholi tribe please don't captivate me Oh Oh Oh I cry in my mind cos when I think my heart it beeps

Seven Years 03:45
She was just a shepherdess Walking over to the well She was pleasing to his eye His heart had turned to Liquid at her feet, Oh Oh Oh… Liquid at her feet Oh Oh Oh.,, Immediately he fell in love Asking for her hand in marriage Her father Laban said "you cannot Marry her until you work for me Oh Oh Oh.. Until you work for me Oh Oh Oh…." Seven years it would take this long Seven years to be strong His love for her surpasses all his days Seven years for his dear love Seven years felt only to him But a few days for his love for her Was so strong, stronger than a mountain, Stronger than the eye could see Oh Oh Oh stronger than the eye could see When the evening time had come There was the wedding celebration Laban took his sister Leah To the groom but she was not his love, Oh Oh Oh Deceitfully was ushered to him Seven years it would take this long Seven years to be strong His love for her surpasses all his days Seven years for the wrong one! Bah dah bah bah bah Bah dah bah bah bah... Seven Years it would take this long, Seven Years to be strong His love for her surpasses all his days Seven Years for the wrong one!

Made To Be 04:00
Galloping away, to your favorite place He has prepared for you, Oooh. He’s the light of all, the redeeming tree He has given you, successfully. (Don't you know that) | Stars have fought your love Night has fought your time But they’re only drowned By this bridal gown, Oh Oh Oh Cos' you and me, were made to be Yeah you, and me, were made to be I’m storing up the rooms, with golden timpani’s Plus tambourines with teasing trumpets too. I’m fashioning a crown, specifically for you Engraving secret messages, Who hoo, Oh (Don't you know that) Stars have fought your love Night has fought your time Ooh But they’re only drowned By this bridal gown Cos' you and me, were made to be Yeah you, and me, were made to be Oh, he is the writer The author and fighter The voice in my mother, The dearest delighter The roar in the wind rising up with a spin and the new baby born and the shield in the storm and Oh, Oh, Oh and Oh Oh Oh ooh. And Oh oh oh, ooh.

Sunday morning comes again But church is not my friend Looking in the mirror I’m afraid to see my scars again, Shuffling up the hill to lose some burdens I can’t face today On the path the Morepork found my common sense thrown down the drain I’ll climb this hill, all the same… My secret's safe with you, my friend Your golden hands they kindly bend My secret's safe with you, my friend My kowhai gem you'll help me mend For years you've healed the bruises, cuts and swelling in my legs This pine forest is really doing wonders for my head Your bark it holds the key to curing every hopeful, living thing But hope has packed it's bags from me, walked out the door and turned the key I'll climb this mound, all the same My secret's safe with you, my friend Your golden hands they kindly bend My secret's safe with you, my friend My kowhai gem you'll help me mend We children of light, we're here with a fright We're singing awake child, hold your fight For he will release your foot from the snare Trade valleys of achor for doors of hope You'll sing with the sick and you'll raise the dead! You'll sing with the roar of the orchestras We children of light, we're here with a fright, We're singin' awake child you're his delight!
