No more of the Babylon inspiration

It will be the Rastaman redemption alone
Now I know,....I and I know....
Exalt he the name of the King
Come before his presence with singing
Know that he is the irator
And it is he who irate us
Now we are the sheep of his pastures
Enter in his gates with praise
Cause now I know Lord,.....I ah know
I and I know....
The only one found worthy to release the seven seals
And break their band of sound up, and set all captives free

Oh, secret admirer...
When you're around the autumn feels like summer
How come you're always messing up the weather
Just like you do to me.
My Silly admirer
How come you never send me bouquet of flowers?
It's whole lot better than disturbing my slumber
If you keep knocking at my door
Last night in my sleep
I dreamt of you riding on my counting sheep
Oh how you're always bouncing
Oh you look so annoying.(please!)
Dear handsome admirer
I always think that you're a very nice fellow
But suddenly you make me feel so mellow
Every time you say: “HELLO!”
And everytime you look at me
I wish you vanish and dissapear into the air
How come you keep on smiling?
Oh! you look so annoying....(not again!)
My secret admirer
I never thought my heart could be so yearning
Please tell me now why try to ignore me
‘cause I do miss you so
My silly admirer (‘cause I do miss you so.)
My handsome admirer (‘cause I do miss you so.)
Dear secret admirer...
