Paul Adolphus

Don't try to be me
and I won't try to be you
there is only one of me
and there is only one of you
...

It saddens me to see
how some men treat their woman so unfair
they neglect them completely
as if they didn't care
...

When you look in the mirror
what do you see?
is the person whose looking back
the person you want to be?
...

I'm trying really hard not to fall in love with you
For I Know my heart will only be broken in two
Why fool myself knowing that you and I will never be
Someone like you would never take interest in someone like me
...

It's not always about winning first place
What really counts is that you challenged the race
A true champion can bravely accept defeat
Still feeling good about himself though he got beat
...

Though my days may be filled with trials and despair
I can always find hope saying a silent prayer
For the Lord always has a listening ear
He's never far away but constantly near
...

You are the anchor that holds me in place
Without you my life would be just an empty space
You are my strength when I grow weak
Inspiration i draw from comforting words you speak
...

Teach your children they way they should go
Instill in them proper values and morals as they grow
show your children where they belong
teach them what is right from what is wrong
...

One more night I lie on this lonely bed
Only thoughts of your running through my head
Memories of a past not so long ago
It's all that's left but I can't let go
...

Thank you O'Lord for the sun, the moon and the rain
I have my health and strength so I don't complain
Thank you for the air that I breathe
And for providing the things that I need
...

When you've grown too weak and feel like giving in
When you're too tired to make another stride
If you are seeking refuge from this world of sin
Jesus is waiting with arms open wide
...

Set your goals way up high
Shoot for the stars
Aim for the sky
Great things you can achieve
...

When the weather is too hot
I hear people complain
Yet they are still not content
when there is too much rain
...

Who am I to pass judgement on you?
Is it my place to condemn the things you do?
what right do I have to look at you with scorn?
am I justified to question why you were born?
...

How can I take back the tears I made you cry?
I'm sorry for every hurtful word, for every single lie
I know I did you wrong, that I won't deny
So here I am asking you for one more try
...

'I have seen what the world has to offer and have indulged in its many guilty pleasures. I have enjoyed myself immensely but the end thereof was as bitter as gall.'

Through self righteous eyes I thought my ways were right
Pursuing after vanities and all that gave my heart delight
...

I see people go about their day to day routine
Some with a smile on their faces
Others looking rather mean
Children hurrying off to school
...

Tell me, tell me, tell me
How can I forget you?
It's not that easy
After all that we've been through
...

Look down upon this sinful man O'Lord
Turn not your face away from me
Cover not your ears when I humbly plea
Show me mercy and blot out my transgressions
...

In my time of troubles I cry out to the heavens
My eyes are heavy with tears
My soul is afflicted with sorrows
I have strayed from the path of righteousness
...
