A part of me died,
The siku wewe left the world.
wewe had a cold nose,
And a very warm heart.
wewe were the best gift,
That anyone could receive.
I loved wewe zaidi than anything,
And wewe loved me just the same.
wewe didn't mind, even though wewe knew,
That I was the fool on the hill.
We used to sit under the shade,
Of the mighty maple.
Now I find myself sitting alone.
I hear the lonely cries,
Of the Mourning Dove.
wewe and I, we used to hear the song,
The Tufted Titmouse sang about drinking tea.
I still hear that song, do wewe still hear it?
Thunderstorms don't have the same appeal,
Without wewe ringing the doorbell.
wewe were afraid of thunderstorms.
Tell me, are wewe still afraid?
Farewell, Birthday Gift karanga Butter,
Until we meet again.
To the best dog in the world and my best friend

Hello, my old friend. How are wewe today? Are wewe okay? Oh, why am I talking to you? wewe cannot hear a word I say. Whether I tell wewe to sit au stay, wewe can no longer obey. wewe sleep the siku away. wewe don't play fetch anymore. Who cares? I didn't enjoy it anyway. All right, okay, I did enjoy it. I miss those days when wewe wanted to play. I miss the days when wewe could hear me. Yet I still talk to you. I'd like to believe, with all my heart, I'd like to believe you're still listening. I'd like to believe wewe can feel me. wewe may be gray in the muzzle, and wewe walk with a limp, and you're half blind, but wewe still care. I know, I know, and I know that wewe still upendo me. Do wewe know I still upendo you?
I dreamed a dream most pleasant,
One that surpasses all dreams.
I saw someone wonderful,
So charming and so sweet.
He stood tall and firm,
Yet his complexion was so gentle.
He spoke in a deep, low voice,
One that was soothing and gentle.
His hair was dark, and it had a red cast,
That was visible when he stood in the sun.
His eyes were a bright green,
So friendly and so cheerful.
Before I could say a word,
I swooned from the excitement.
When I awoke, I was in my bed.
It was all a dream, I concluded,
And maybe I'm meant to be alone.
One that surpasses all dreams.

I'm on the outside,
Looking in, to a world,
I don't truly understand.
Am I in the right era?
Am I with the right crowd?
It seems they're on the inside,
Looking out, at the me,
They don't truly understand.
They are in there,
Mocking me, because I'm different.
I'm out there,
Reaching out to those on the outside,
Looking in.
It let's me know I'm not alone.
I'm not the only one on the outside,
Looking in.

People say John was a dreamer,
But I assure wewe of this;
He was not the only one.
I am a dreamer, too.
He was clear when he told us,
"Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace."
Why aren't people listening?
People want a war so badly,
They can't stand it!
Didn't John tell us,
"Give peace a chance"?
I think his message was clear.
I think he'd be baffled,
If he saw what was going on.
John, I want wewe to know,
I'm still listening.
Who is with me?
But I assure wewe of this;
He was not the only one.

Weeds are flowers, too.
Just give them a chance.
They may look unsightly,
But they're amazing once they blossom.
They're often judged kwa their looks,
But take them seriously.
They're great once wewe know them.
I know I'm not a daisy,
A tulip, au a rose.
I may not be attractive,
But I'm pretty nice.
Don't judge what wewe don't know.
Yes, weeds are flowers, too.
Get to know them.
I guarantee wewe won't regret it.

She was once someone I know.
She is now someone I knew.
I told her all of my secrets.
She never told a soul.
She never ran out of things to say,
To make me feel better.
She was the nyota of the sea,
But her ship sailed away.
The waves pushed me back.
Now, I find, I'm all alone.
This great person I knew,
Was a good friend.
It's a shame this had to end.
I miss her greatly,
But pining over her,
Won't change anything at all.
I have to songesha on.
It's time to let go.
I will never forget what we had.
I finally accepted that it wasn't meant to be.

Who are wewe to tell me,
That I'm not so pretty?
Malicious Mirror, wewe weren't my friend.
wewe were my worst enemy!
wewe told me I was ugly,
And I couldn't make friends.
But I stayed strong,
And proved wewe wrong!
I'll now direct it to you,
Oh, Christians, I verily say,
Who are wewe to tell me,
What I should be?!
wewe told me to be prejudiced.
I was blind to your ways,
But now I see,
wewe tried to force a false identity.
What were wewe trying to do,
When wewe told me to believe,
Your lies? wewe alisema my grandfather,
Whom I loved dearly, is in Hell,
And I know that he is well.
He's behind that pearly gate,
And I know that is his fate.
Christians, wewe betrayed my trust,
Only to cause a thirst for lust.

When wewe told me you'd visit me,
wewe lied! Oh, how could this be?
Alas! puppy upendo tragically died.
I felt, as if, I'd fallen, into the dirt.
This Lost love, left me badly hurt.
But I am all right.
I'm very much alive.
I'll take this scarred heart,
Let it heal, and keep it, from falling apart.
They say it's better to have loved and lost,
But, I think, I would have been better off,
To have never loved at all.
To upendo again, I never will.
It isn't worth, the pain that wewe feel.
upendo is for someone, who isn't me.
I think it's best to let it be.
I am just fine, with the company of friends.
Not with lovers, that's how it is.
