Breathe 2 Believe
By Daniel Eliyahshua Klein
The wealthiest place
Deep down in the ground
So many dreams
Buried down south
The wealthiest place
Dreams to be couldn’t be
Its not too late
For you to live your dream…so breathe to believe

Have a dream
Push yourself to the test
Gifted and talented
Chop it up like a chef
Watch out for them haters
Burn you like Tapatio Hot Sauce
Stay in your own lane
And be your own boss

Getting to know me
That’s their loss
Millions of hits
Yeah you know tick tock
Put your dream alive
So fresh and clean
Like mouth wash

Looking back
The poor decisions I did
Now I’m laced up
Like Jason Kidd
The ball is in your court
Either your gonna brick or swish
Its in your hands
To win the championship

The wealthiest place
Buried in caskets
Go for your dreams
Got that Golden Wanka ticket
Keep my eyes
On the Prize
Yeah I’m ready to play chess
God will win your fights

I’m not afraid of success
Life is a game of chess
Have it tatted in my heart
J.E.S.U.S.

Hard Miles
By Daniel Eliyahshua Klein

Live the day of my life
Started in the nineteen eighties
Words I lay on paper
About to get real crazy
Can your mind handle it
The ride about to get bumpy
Going through hard miles
My heart beating fastly

My mom took me & my sisters
From my alcoholic abusive father
Living homeless in Big Sur
You know that place called California
Left everything behind
Once called, Home Sweet Home
Demons messing with me
Want to take my soul

Really lost & confused
Knowing what direction to go
So much hate & misery
Slowly letting go hope
In & out of group homes & foster homes
Started when I got kicked to the streets
When I was 12 years old
It was hard on my feet

Challenges I face each day
1999 went to C.Y.A.
Skape goated
Became ward of the state
Didn’t know love
Only knew hate
Lived in dark cold world
Watching my back every day

I was almost 16
Got out at twenty one
Got on the Greyhound bus
Inside still 16 years young
Feet hit the concrete
Gave my family a hug
You know that warm feeling
All I knew was numb.

Don’t Judge Me
By Daniel Eliyahshua Klein

A lot of people want to judge me
Thought I was fed by a silver spoon
Laughing deep inside
They don’t know what I’ve been through
Only God knows
What I’ve been through
And the ones who truly love me
That I’m close to

Looks can be deceiving
Only God knows truly
Going beyond trials
No time for quitting
Even though it gets hard
And sometimes we fall
Before we walk
Have to learn how to crawl

Closing my eyes
Looking at all these trials
All this pain and suffering
Brought me close to Jesus Christ
When I was young
I was afraid to cry
Being locked in chains
Of a prisoner
I’m ready to fly

Walking with faith
In the darkest storm
Keep on swimming
I’m not ready to drown
Going through this battle
I have my sword
The Light of God
Which is the Word

Don’t judge me
Have a mission to attend
Evil try to take away
Pretending they you’re friend
Satan will never win
Time for a newly begin
As the Scripture says
Love over Sin.

 
One Step Away
By Daniel Eliyahshua Klein

Being one step away
Going through a lot of pain
With God’s unfailing grace
It’s time to finish the race

Being in and out of prisons
In and out of the system
Since I was a little kid
I didn’t know Jesus
I was lost and confused
Didn’t know the Truth
Going my direction
Not the way God choose

Seeing the doves fly
Three times in front of my window
I know Father God
You’re going to let me go
I have faith
Every breath that You gave
I trust You with my life
So lead the way

Millions of tears
Fall one at a time
Your prayers being unanswered
It will happen in God’s time

Basic instruction
Before leaving earth
Father God
I put You first
Walking through the desert
For visitation
Count down to months
Until I’m home again

One kiss and a hug
To see my baby dove
One step away
To be with my one and only love
Being always locked down
In the lion’s den
When I’m with her
My chains are broken

I’m only one step away
No time for fear only faith
With His Amazing Grace
He will open the gates.
 
So Many Tears
By Daniel Eliyahshua Klein

So many tears
Fall on my pillow
I’m ready Father God
For you to open the door
I surrender my life
For me not against me
To fight my battles
And weakness … thank you Jesus.

Being locked in chains
Behind these walls
Have a small window
Can’t wait to see the stars
Looking at the pictures
At the people that I love
So many tears
Fall on my pillow one by one

My heart aches
Deep inside my chest
I know Jesus
I’m not perfect
Being thankful and blessed
You shower Your love
Above the Heavens
And You see every tear fall

Living day by day
Surviving in this prison
Those tears of hurt and love
That fall keep me breathing
This is not the end
Just the beginning
We all have a story
So let it be unfolded

Don’t ever give up
No time for quitting
I’m a champion.
Faith beyond to be awakened
God, will open your eyes
For recognition
Giving me the strength
To walk out of this prison.
 
Fading Days
By Daniel Eliyahshua Klein

So many days
I wish I could go
Through these thick walls
And give you a hug
So many months
Being away from you this long
Really tears me apart
So many years
I can’t remember how many
Fallen countless tears
So many pages
As I’m flipping the calendar
As days fade away … as season changing

Slammed down
Twenty three and one
Going through this pandemic
Being locked down
Haven’t touched or kissed
For about 15 months
Break through these walls
For a soft long hug

The sensation
Soft touch gentle kiss
Holding your hands
I definitely miss

Having you in my life
Thanking God you exist
Always loved by me
And forever missed
Looking out my small window
Seeing a bright future
Walking out these gates
Can’t wait to kiss ya.
 
How Much More Can He Take
By Daniel Eliyahshua Klein

What’s wrong
With this destructive world
Of realism
Anti-Semitism and racism
Does it matter
The reflection of your perfectionism
Were all created by matter and organisms
Everything destroyed by Polatitians
The human race
Is nothing but a disgrace
Everyone wants to be first
To finish the race
Why is there less love
And more hate
Judging everyone but yourself
There’s so much discriminate

Terminate all the hate and pain
Does it stop taking your last breath to take
Sitting in this lonely world
I just want the pain to fade away
People in this world
Just let the faith wash away
I don’t know
How much more God can take
