As vibrant speckles blotch the azure ceiling
And rainbows inhabit the sure ground
And beings of all kind, swarm, kneeling,
To the lion king, now crowned
The seeded oak doth grows for might
Struck with awe, day and night

Then comes the darkness, spreading the night,
And creatures of purpose and creatures of spite,
Lived with in peace,without quarrel or battle,
Herding amongst the lands, cattle,
The mighty oak forth stands by lives
Seeing all with watchful eyes

And hues of pink, orange and yellow,
Shed its light on many things, my fellow,
Building its houses of grey and black,
Though yet some wish, time would go back,
The mighty oak doth stand and sigh,
Having seen all with watchful eyes.

And thus time and tide go by, no more
Yet nature recurs, and recurs evermore

I am lying
all alone in my bed.
I am thinking
all by myself in my head.
The phone's ringing
another message comes in.
The usual crap
throw it straight into the bin.
Almost forgot it's today.
But hey, even if I may
all those strangers will remind me
that today is "my" day...
Outside the sun is shining
but I wish it'd rain.
The big spotlight is blinding
yet it's dark in my brain.
Today's the day
I wanna shut myself in at home.
I don't want your attention
please leave me alone.

Oh it's aunt A
what does she want?
Ah, just her once-a-year message...
I don't wanna respond.
12 hours left
better put the phone on mute.
All those people I don't care about
might think it quite rude.
But each and every message
it just says the same.
2 words without meaning
still, I am to blame?
You say I can make a wish
so here it is now:
Next year, same day,
please forget me somehow.
Outside the sun is shining
but I wish it'd rain.
The big spotlight is blinding
yet it's dark in my brain.
Today's the day
I wanna shut myself in at home.
I don't want your attention
please leave me alone.

Everytime I look at my own picture
It feel like I'm looking at a stranger

It takes me a moment
To realise that's me

I've changed
In ways I don't know

I'm not my old self
I'm a stranger to myself

I'm a stranger
Who I'll never get used to

For
The first time
I have read a book

That did not leave a void after I finished.

It's one thing to believe in Allah
And another to believe Allah

Like the heavens and the skies
Like the deep seas so wide
When I am confident and true
When I have faith in you
Colour me blue, colour me blue

Like the royals of Great Britain
Like the noble in truth and ambition
In my wisdom, dignity and pride
In my mystery and grandeur so wise
Colour me purple, colour me purple

Like fire and blood
Like the intensity of a flood
In my strength and passion
In my desire, love and emotion
Colour me red, colour me red

Like the warmth of the tropics
Like the sun, my daily tonic
When I am determined and creative
When I am happy and attractive
Colour me orange, colour me orange

Like a smile so warm
Like joy even in a storm
When I am cheerful and happy
In my intellect, when I am savvy
Colour me yellow, colour me yellow

When I am all these and more
When I am despised or adored
With the colours of the rainbow
With the colours that make me glow
Colour me colours, colour me colours
