A Sweet Birthday Song For A Gem

I wrote this song some years ago (just before resigning from stage) and sang it on my birthday with my friends in attendance. The lyrics are so motivating that I see it as one of the best songs I've ever written. Though nicer when judging others', I maintain a perfectionist attitude in self criticism - don't spare myself. But over again I scored myself well above average on this song. The song has a typical rhythm and blues flavour kind of like a reinvention of the disco era with the buggy down spice in the bridge. Check out the lyrics below and get a copy if you have a gem and care to make 'em a treat on their birthday. The video has been played in channel O, MTV Base, STV, AIT and some. For those of you who've asked for a copy, this is the very first time it's available commercially over 3 years after its production, and it's only online.

Happy Birthday
 1. Only yesterday you cried
    From a heart of love and life
    You seemed to say with tears in your eyes
    All I want is to survive
    Time has come and time has gone
    But now we see your light has come
    No matter what the night may bring
    Joy comes in the morning, oh!

Chorus

   Happy birthday to a gem
   Happy birthday to a friend
   Happy birthday to a pearl so precious
   We have come to make your day
   We have come to celebrate
   Your great future makes a happy birthday
(Repeat)

Refrain
   Oh! Happy day, happy birthday to you
   Oh! Happy day
   Oh! Happy day, happy birthday to you
   Oh! What a day. So precious
(Repeat)

2. Through the storm and through the rain
    God has helped you to survive
    Many lives have crushed with pain
    But you're filled with joy inside
    Like a shelter from the rain
    Hope is here just once again
    Filled with dreams of flying high
    You could reach up to the sky
(Repeat Chorus and Refrain)

Bridge

    Come on everybody let's celebrate
    Move your body buggy down till the break at dawn
    We are happy cos you are great
    Thankful for tomorrow cos you'll be greater
Repeat Ref.

HAVING A BLOG OR WEBSITE IS NOT ENOUGH


Few years ago John, a friend of mine, tried to convince me to chose a manual gear transmission car option as my official car. His argument was that it is those who do not know how to drive that go for automatic transmission cars. I agreed with him that many people who use automatic cars at the time had little or no driving experience. But I also discovered that automatic cars go at least 5 times faster than manual cars and with lesser effort regardless of experience. This is because the clutching and change of gear functions are automated so that the driver can assess three functions by only one action of acceleration. Automation of business processes, such as marketing and sales, is key to lasting success in business. When your business is making sales for you while you are asleep or awake, it increases your capacity. One of the ways to accomplish this is through the internet. A successful business man of our time, Bill Gates, once said if you're not on the internet you're not in business. His book, Business at the speed of thought is a must read for every serious business person in the 21st century. The priority of every entrepreneur should be more of having internet presence than having a physical presence, although the two should compliment each other. The reason is that you are exposed to the possibility of being located by over 4 million daily prospects from the internet against the limited number in your particular graphical location. However, having a blog or website alone is not enough. I recently met a friend who said he has 22 blogs but not making a dime from anyone of them. You need to approach your blog as one of the branches of You Inc. If a branch of a profit-driven organization fails to meet revenue targets enough to pay for the expense in keeping that branch, it is normally shut down. Fortunately, just like others', your blog is exposed to large enough pool to make it worthwhile profitable. Decide today to tap into this trend to accelerate your results.
