you walk people through to deep contem- plation. Music hits the seat of a person’s emotions it can drive people’s moods so the responsibility of a worship leader should not be taken lightly it is a serious job in the church.
I remember clearly the first song that I had written was I wanna say no! It is a song about child abuse and child sexual grooming, maybe God, destiny call it what you will 15 years later this is a core cause and passions with the work of Act Against Injustice. I could say that this one song was the catalyst for my passion against injustice against children and the victims of traffickers; it is estimated that 80% of children trafficked end up as prostitutes and the remaining 20% end up in domestic servitude. What a sick world we live in with regard to this heinous crime of degradation and depravity.
I WANNA SAY NO!
I see you smile with those tears in your eyes you try to hide the pain inside your heart. Nobody knows the secretes that you keep the secrets killing you but you cannot speak.
Chorus
I wanna say ‘No!’ but you keep on hurting me, I wish I could tell but you’ll hurt me all the more. I wanna say, ‘No to pain no to pain.’ You’re a grown up so you tell me this is love and I know its wrong the love you show to me is your sick perverted lust.
You have the scars but they don’t show outside, you have been scared dee[p within your mind, the cruelty shows when you’re inside your home; that man says he loves you but loves not abuse.
That man you fear he buys you all those things, he thinks that he can really buy your love. He’s respectable your family’s friend, but they would turn on him if they only knew.
You breathe on me shivers run down my spine I hate the thought of you lying next to me. Just go away and crawl under a stone I’ve lost my childhood because of you.

This track will feature on the forthcoming CD Conscience of heart and mind. I found though my passion had developed
right from the beginning with writing about issues concer- ning and covering social justice and acts of injustice. The acts of two world leaders in my opinion have been done in the name of oppression and aggression rather than justice against the people who they say that they were defending and fighting for. I am of course talking about the Iraq war. I have written several songs on this topic and those songs will be on the album; ‘Conscience of heart and mind.’ I am not against the military as they have to do what they are told as by any employer. I come from a family that has a military history with this in mind I believe that I see things in perhaps a different way to some of those in the anti-war movement. Therefore, I would like to state that there are times when military intervention is right, BUT, pre-emptive strikes for regime change is in mind illegal and immoral And with the history of my granddad and a relation who suf- fered as a prisoner of war I believe that Bush and Blair have sullied the military and it’s memory especially those who have fought to keep tyranny at bay from our shores. The actions of those two men have besmirched trust in the eyes of the world so that suspicion could for genuine humanita- rian cause which this current climate in the Middle East has created a mistrust of the UK and its standing on the world stage.
With our hard fought freedoms of speech where you have those who with poisonous views reject and hate our British society and way of life for example were viewed and filmed on our remembrance day, burning the poppy, with this blinkered view and ignorance they cannot see past the hate created by the Iraq war that has been caused by Blair and Bush who took us into Iraq.
People have died and will continue to die and we have to support our troops because they are laying their lives on the ground for the improvement and hopefully democracy will prevail, but I doubt that this, I believe a puppet govern- ment will be put in place by the political elite so that they
