COSMIC GARDEN Like a young seed thirsting for rain, I want to grow, and feel the same In your vast world where love is born, And good-bye is the painful thorn Like flowers open their petals, I embrace the sun's bright signals In your fields of fresh aroma, Poison is the ultimate karma Cultivate, and I'll blossom on earth Shower your love, and I'll find my worth For I am your vine, you are my wall Cling on as we learn to rise and fall Let me survive in this Cosmic Garden... Of wild orchids & dangers Of wild beasts & strangers I will survive in this Cosmic Garden... Our own blessing, our own curse Our shelter, our universe ...Home sweet, Cosmic Garden...


	SOAR Midnight under the sheltering skies Wish on a star for I'm paralyzed You've frozen this heart, broken these wings I need to learn again what freedom brings Prisoner in the realm of emptiness Breakout from this void land of darkness Shadows of past can't ruin the future Spread my wings again just like a vulture Ride the chilling breeze, once more I dare Hunt for love begins somewhere out there Beauty of forgiveness is my gain Farewell, my unnecessary pain Soar, Black Crow, Soar... Search for happiness that once was yours Entirety of heavens is all yours Soar, White Dove, Soar... View the world through different set of eyes Freedom gives you the power to rise ...Fly high, Soar high... ...Sorrow, Good-bye...


A BRAND NEW SPARKLE/SUPERNOVA I was blinded by the brilliance of fame Like a moth, I got burnt from its scorching flame So it's quite senseless to envy my name Unselfishly, I trade-off my title For a burst of light with a brighter twinkle It's so strange how the heart can be so fickle Stardom is but a short-lived shimmering Behind the glimmer, a worthless nothing 'Til the bliss of love struck me like lightning The fading spotlight has been a riddle On the verge of darkness, stuck in the middle 'Til you came blazing like a miracle There's a new found light, a Brand New Sparkle It's shining from the very heart of me There's a brighter light, a Brand New Sparkle I'll emit this light for the world to see ...That love is all we need...


	MY RIVER NILE " Cleanse me ... Baptize me ... " Cleopatra was so thirsty as this When she prayed for Egypt's ultimate bliss The source of life which travels miles Come wash my pain, oh River Nile Cleopatra desired, and yearned the same As the towns of Egypt just burnt like flame Burnt for the cause of joy & smile Come cleanse my wounds, oh River Nile How I need more when you're pouring lean How I want more when you're rushing mean How I plunge into your crystal flow How I follow where the whirlwinds blow River Nile, My River Nile... Your mystic keeps me dreaming Your wonder fills my longing River Nile, My River Nile... Your power keeps me floating Your healing ends my bleeding ...Like a desert baptized by the sky, Love overflows in me, My River Nile...


RESCUE ME Me ... I hear the footsteps of a broken child - A haunting past that echoes through this forest Trying to escape, searching in the moonlit night But I lose my way home in this world of madness As the wild rivers sweep me away As the deep dangers drown me away You... In a corner of darkness, you hide your fears - Your tortured mind, and your chilling hands The heart shall learn that anxiety disappears - Once you dare to love and embrace the chance How can you live holding on to pain? How can you stand alone in the rain? Rescue me / I'll protect you Cover me / I'll save you Rescue each other - Come take the challenge to catch my fall You know I'll be there for you when you call Rescue me / I'll comfort you Shelter me / I'll love you Rescue each other - From the evil forces of nature Let the sky promise a brighter future "Love strikes stronger than an earthquake - more powerful than a thunderstorm This is the death of our heartache - A new leaf unfolds, a new love's born. "


	OH BABYLONIANS Oh Babylonians, avert from avarice ! How dare you drink from the sacred chalice When you're a renegade of your religion Blinded yourselves to see tribulation Practice what you preach, don't be evasive Narcissism can be so oppressive In the absence of reciprocity - prevails the corruption of monarchy Oh Babylonians, attain vindication ! How can you neglect this bone of contention - When you victimize them of your hit and run ? Too much wealth is dangerous like atom bomb Practice giving, forget about bigotry Selfishness lets you live in savagery There's less repentance, and more reluctance Your heart's the fulcrum to this imbalance " He who swells in prosperity will shrink in adversity. "


CORRUPTED UNIVERSE Dark cumulus clouds transforming - in corners of my mind they dig Vision of a blinding lightning Last leaf falls from a burning twig Where flock of black birds are chasing - the cold breeze of the eastern winds Your face is the star reflecting - on these crystal waters that rinse - Rinse, cleanse my back for I've carried - through sands of time, a world of sins Feet beneath the earth were buried I should have followed Your footprints Why are my guilty hands chilling - as wolves cry to the crescent moon ? The far horizon's fast-changing Another comet falls by dawn " Living in this corrupted universe, evil appears in varied forms - what a curse ! My soul seeks for mercy, life has gone worse The blood of Your salvation I do thirst "


	TRAVERSE : INTO THE FUTURE What I say now may be elementary - once man unravels time and its mystery We travel to the past by memory Imagination's what our future will be Delve in the theories of the human minds It's heaven or hell or in between those lines Push to one direction, a radical turn We see this paradox a great concern We have explored it almost endlessly - How we can change the course of history Kaleidoscopic the world seems to be We need a mechanism to set us free Traverse the unreached boundaries ... where there's no war, poverty, and pollution Traverse the possibilities ... where there's no environmental devastation Traverse the unknown energy ... where there's a parallel dimension disguised Traverse levels of this mystery ... where we will be spending the rest of our lives
