PALMS UP TO THE TOP

Palms up to the top
Bowing heads to my last minute
All the pains I've done seen it
Killers saying they don't mean it
Palms up to the last minute
Raise my voice to the last digits
Ain't too big to pray
Even to my last day

Coming late and leaving early
I do my things quite fairly
Don't like to wake early
You'll see me on telly
Take my bread without jelly
Crack the shell, fry some eggies
In record time I fill my belly
With a smile I hail the girlies
All smiles, I hail the girlies

Been in a mood since last week
Was told to make a few tweaks
Wish I could call in sick
But I don't like being sick
But it makes me seek
If I'm right or wrong

Can take criticism on board
I felt like I was on course
I can't give up now, of course
But I'm counting the days over
Wish it could end sooner
Sort of a late bloomer
Maybe that's why I wake later
Few things get me up early
Football and sports at its very core
And with principled people to discuss

I'm counting the days over
My sister was kind
Try not to take it to heart
I make my choices 
And live my decisions
It's one thing that gives me great peace
That I have the power to
Live my future as envisioned

Not to say I'm right all the time
But I try to stay in character
Don't scratch the surface and think you know
Ask questions that you don't know
There's more to me that meets the eye
I'll just take a moment to say hi

I leave things sometimes half done
Sometimes because I can
I feel more satisfied now
Recommendations helped me improve
Finished in time, yea, I'm all done..

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings  I went deep down the ocean depths  The primordial power of the earth I felt  Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence  I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze  In high spirits, but my energy spent  Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze  It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent   These answers are worth more per every cent  Yet on my strength I can't depend  To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response  In the thunder, there was no reply  But in the g...
