THE SILENT EYES OF STATUES

(Grace Ibe)

This is like a beauty and the beast story where the only redemption for cruelty is true love. Love begets love. You don't have to force someone to have feelings for you. Besides, ones hasty actions of misconduct may come with repercussions that only true love can save. The statues are the helpless witnesses of this depraved personality.

CHORUS: 
The silent eyes of statues see you.
The wailing wind weeps for your deed.
You cannot hide. Your heart must feed; 
on the guilt that haunts you too.

STANZA 1: 
Wished we could make you see the light;
That there is good in doing right.
Then will you find one
 who wouldn't be gone
 but would stay right on.

CHORUS.

STANZA 2: 
How does cruelty breed tenderness?
Beastly actions without harness.
Love's for the gentle 
not for the nettle.
You need the right mettle.

BRIDGE: 
Let yourself find forgiveness.
Then your punishment would be less.
Shed the beast. Embrace beauty.
Then Love's power will make you free.

CHORUS ENDING (SOFTLY):
You cannot hide. Your heart must feed; 
on the guilt that haunts you too.
VOCALIST: 
The silent eyes of statues see you...

LIKE A GREEK GODDESS

By Grace Ibe

Our physical assets can make or mar us if we laud them too high by becoming proud or snobbish. Sometimes, such behaviour backfires when someone with malicious intent comes along. Our characters define us, therefore let's be careful how we behave in regard to our physical endowments or beauty.

ANGELS COME IN DIFFERENT PACKAGES

By Grace Ibe

In our day to day living, there are times when miracles from heaven come to us through people that God can use to help us out when we are in trouble or going through particularly traumatic circumstances. There are angels in disguise everywhere. Heroes that can be as young as a child or as old as anyone you might know. Never look down on anyone! That geek; that annoying roommate; that nosy neighbour; that person waiting in line to board the plane or a bus; that beggar lying on the sidewalk might just be the angel packaged to save you. You could be an angel in disguise too!

Bobby

I Can Never (Fall In Love With You)

By Agustin Reyes

This song is about bringing yourself to really love someone because they, "love" you too but, they treat you bad as if they don't really care for you nor love you.

Die Fesseln der Freiheit

By Micha Khalil

Der Text dreht sich um das Thema Freiheit. Kann auch als ein polititsches Statement verstanden werden. Es gibt politische Parteien zum Beispiel die Freiheit versprechen aber die Menschen nur ein und beschränken. Der Text ist in den meisten Zeilen auf einen dreiviertel takt zu sprechen.
