I hope that what we have will last forever,
That we'll one day just look back and remember.
Know that I'll never do anything to hurt you,
And everyday I pray that what I feel is true.

I wanna hold you in the midst of falling autumn,
I hope that one day these flowers will just blossom.
Take a step and you will see a brand new plan,
So come on close your eyes, and let me take your hand...

And let us dance,
Oh, let us dance.

With you seeing the setting sun on the horizon,
Be the one who's at your side in an instant.
Let me catch your falling tears when you're down,
Or let me be the one who wipes away that frown.

Look up at the stars see how they're shining,
In the heavens high above they're just smiling.
To the world we're only two small grains of sand,
So come on close your eyes, and let me take your hand...

And let us dance,
Come let us dance...

Note: Inspired by the song "I Hope You Dance"
Should still be able to sing the song with these lyrics =)

Almost every problem involves the heart,
Be it broken or torn apart.
The most complicated source,
And oh how does it smart.

Confusing human emotions,
Always makes us assume.
It's not always good,
To listen to your own tune.

But the music goes both ways,
Pleasing or not.
It's what we read into the lyrics,
That actually says alot.

Don't listen to what you wanna hear,
Pay attention to both songs
Because there's always a hidden meaning,
Buried where it belongs.

*PROLOGUE*
Walking in the shadows, walking behind you
Quiet as a mute, I act like such a fool
Thinking hard to say, something of interest
But when you turn to greet me, I speak other worse
And I ask myself, "Why do I care?"

*The story unfolds*
Floating down the past, I trace back the steps
To find back the pieces that forms a whole set
And then I remember, with striking clarity
Our whole history together, innocence at first
Did the thunderbolt hit me? No it did not!
Unlike the others, I was safe . . . or so I thought

With much reluctance, I became your friend
Slowly but surely, even though I disliked you then
You were so different but I had yet to see
The beautiful surprise (or horror) awaiting me
And I ask myself, "Did I have a clue?"

Talking, laughing, gossiping, whisperrr
Conversing with you was such an allure
Your laughter, so infectious so clear
Had its unconscious effect on me, oh dear!
As they say," Ignorance is bliss!"
But one day, came crashing down
This short short peace. . .

All of a sudden, disaster struck
Without a moments warning, I ran out of luck
3 days and 3 nights, gone were you and nary a trace
Poor me then, aimlessly lost and out of place
And I ask myself, "Why do I miss you?"

Deep down in this naive heart, the cogs start to move
It was then the nightmare begun
Already, damage had been done
But quite predictably, and stubborn as a mule
I refused to believe, this feeling of your pull

Then came the Second sign
This tiny thing call Jealousy
You spoke (a little) too much to someone else not me
Anxious of losing your attention, glaring at this new enemy
Burning and hurting, I withdrew into deep dark hell
So you choose her over me? Well, then "dao" you I shall!
And I ask myself, "Why do I act this way?"

Deja vu, my friend, welcome back again
With mounting terror, old behaviour reappeared
Unmistakable and plain
I begin to act, as I had done towards the others
Caring about the little things, in the past I hadn't bothered
What did you say? What did you mean? Analysis starts over
Scraping through nondescript and trivia
I search for signs of hope--
Hope for a new lover

As days crawl by, understanding slowly dawns
I know what I want, it is easy to see
Hard to deny, I turn morose and forlorn
Not again lord! Not this one, I plead!
Too precious to me, this gem of a friend I need
But everywhere I go, you are all that I see
And I ask myself, "Why must this happen to me?"

*Now. . . *

Fidgeting uncomfortably, so aware of your presence
We're just next to each other, separated by stony silence
So near yet so far. . .
Thinking hard again, just wanting to open my mouth
Out of the blue I hear, the voice I had sought
Smiling, you praised me and awaited my response
But the only thought I had, was this insane urge to hold you. . .

Good friends we are, I always give you presents :)
You never gave me any, I failed to learn this lesson
Nevertheless, I'll press on with my mission
But first, 101 worst case scenarios I envisioned
Time's running out, the perfect moment's here
We are alone, I feel your warmth so near
And I ask myself, "Do I dare? Do I dare?"

Do I dare? Seize the moment?
And in a moment wipe out all that I live for?
Revisions and decisions in a minute I can make
Reverse them impossible. Do it or forsake

*EPILOGUE*

Therein lies the enigma, the mystery that envelopes
How did it happen? An occurence so anomalous
For the first time in my life, love beckoned from within
Not the face or the body, but the beauty inside thee
Was what that ensnared me. . .

*End*

The Sun's shrouded,
I only see the dark sky.
My thoughts are clouded,
And I just wonder why?

That at this unfamiliar crossroads,
I am totally at a loss.
I've been standing still for ages,
At what pathetic cost?

To take the left or the right,
Neither would have a turning back.
My footprints imprinted,
Confidence is what I lack.

Somehow the grasses seem more inviting,
Than the trodden dirt road.
Dare I venture forth,
Into the dark unknown?

Should I stay or should I go?
At time like these life seems unkind.
Downslope all the way from here,
Why am I so blind?

Warmth of summer, coldness of winter,
Sun's out but it's still raining.
Only lukewarm feelings,
I'm still standing here waiting.

When will the storm clear,
And allow me only the sunshine?
Cos' I'm just afraid,
It's simply not yet time.

But now I start to realise,
There's always a price to pay.
I have to step out of my shell,
And face the elements of the coming day.

Glancing ahead,
Thunder and lightning flash in the distance,
Taking one step at a time,
I pray everyday for assistance.

And in the heart of the storm,
I wanna find you.
A smile would brighten my face,
Because then, you were willing too.

And I don't mind spending everyday,
Out on your corner in the pouring rain.
Looking for the girl with the beautiful smile,
Asking her to stay a while.

Cos' she will be loved...
Always.

Thinking of you,
And its just gonna make me feel blue.

Kiss the rain,
And its making me feel the pain,
And i noe the night is fading,
And i noe the time's gonna fly,
But even if i dont wanna tell you everything,
I already did,
Cos i know i've to give it a try.

I doubt if im gonna make it without you,
Do you really wanna see me crawl?
Sigh cos im never gonna make it,
Making love out of nothing at all.

You seem so strong on the outside,
Hiding your emotions behind a smile.
But it hurts me to hear your heart sighing,
To see your heart crying.

Yet when you're with me,
Don't be afraid to drop your smile,
Don't worry about burdening me,
Cos' I'm willing.

Are you searching for four-leaf clovers?
If thorns and thistles hurt,
Pass some over,
Cos' I'm willing.

Take my hand in the darkness,
Let me be your guiding star.
I will get you out first,
Cos' I'm willing.

Together we will find a way,
And we'll still have each other,
Even if we don't make it someday.
And I'm willing.

Cry on my shoulder when you're sad,
Rest on it when you're weary.
Beat on it when you're mad,
Cos' I'll always be willing surely.

I'm willing to give it all for you,
Please say you're willing too.

Right Now

Chorus
Hold me Lord, right now, I wanna be with You.
Hide me Lord, right now, I wanna speak to You.
In my heart I know that You want me too...

Take my hand, right now, I wanna soar with You.
Fill me Lord, right now, I wanna sing for You.
Know that I wanna be with You...

Lord it's You I love,
It's You I will serve.
Yeah I will serve...

Can you imagine the heart-ache,
When I see you walk away,
Can you imagine the uneasiness,
Because sometimes there are no words to say.

It hurts me in the heart,
When I'm so close to you,
Yet at times still so far,
It makes me scared that its you I might lose.

When will I muster the courage,
To say the things I wanna say.
I may never know,
Until the day I know you'll say okay.

I feel lost right now,
Not knowing which way to mind,
Or what I'm looking for,
Will you please give me a sign.

My heart is split right now,
Trying to decide,
If I should take the step forward,
Or should I just give up and hide?

I just need a hint,
Any simple sign,
So I can be completely sure,
That one day I can finally make you mine.

Problems unsolved,
Fill the bottle of my heart.
Problems unchecked,
Force a smile.

When confronted,
Uncertainty steps in.
Faith flutters away,
Feelings are hurt.

But one's heart is only this big,
I try to close the top,
Force everything inside,
Simply hoping for the best?

Thinking I can solve my own problems,
Builds up the pressure.
Emotions eventually flare,
Love and hate present themselves.

Too fast too late,
A scar is left.
Marked for life,
Marked for ever.

By the beach one fine night,
With the stars shining brightly,
The Lord stands by your side,
Holding your hand tenderly.

As you walk along the path of your life,
Two sets of footprints in the sand.
Images flash across the sky,
Showing your whole life as His human.

When the sky was clear and beautiful,
You had straight As and a baby child.
You felt relieved and joyful,
That the Lord was with you every mile.

Yet when the sky rumbled and roared,
You struggled and suffered pain.
In confusion to the Lord you called,
Because only one pair of footprints remained.

Why have You left me alone,
When I needed You the most?
Where were You when I moaned,
Where were you when I fely lost?

Oh my child do not despair,
Of you I have always been taking care.
Those times you fell and came to harm,
I was craddling you in my arms.

Some people just cannot understand,
the unintentional hurt they cause,
the unintentional pain they bring.

Call me sensitive, call me naive,
But call others insensitive, call others ignorant.

I once asked someone,
their purpose, their meaning in life.
Christians themselves sometimes do not know,
At other times I question my own.

Refering to both SJ's and Amanda's posts,
life is indeed too short for one's liking,
to be squandered on books, wasted on grades.

It makes us empty inside,
putting on false smiles, false laughs.
People around us do not realise, do not understand,
but what hurts the most is that we ourselves don't either.

Break free of your bonds,
ask your heart what it wants in life,
tell your heart to be happy.

I hope one day that everyone will be able to answer that question.
Truthfully, honestly,
but most importantly happily and proud.

For the Christians: In the Lord we trust and hope until his glorious second coming.
Amen.

Raindrops falling from the night sky,
You stand in the open staring up with a sigh.

The rain mixes with tears down your sweet face,
Don't let a single drop go to waste...

Your heart may seem broken and torn,
But wait, because a rainbow comes after a storm.

Even if your world grows darker with each passing day,
Remember that there are people around guiding you all the way.

The path before you may rise or plummel,
Yet know that hope lies at the end of every tunnel.

So endure this cold winters' night,
Because one day, just one day, your face will feel the warm summer sunlight.

Have Faith.

Listen to the yellow ones sing,
Harmoniously in perfect melding.

Singing as if to a yellow moon,
Pondering if their lives would suddenly end soon.

Crying out that life is unfair,
Wondering "Why or why had I not been a pear?"

In doubt and worry they sighed,
Until the final day when they became acidified.

The lesson learnt is one shouldn't worry about the following hour,
For that will simply make you taste damn sour...

Hey let's all make Elsa a nick-name,
The way she's playing this match-making game,

How about mean gal number one?
I don't like her teasing me about eventually having a son!

Elsa what u said made my heart simply torn,
You must realise i'm just like Jimmy Neutron!
Understand that i'm not a love-seeking bird,
The way you say stuff proclaims me as a desperate.

As the clouds darken above your head,
When you suddenly feel down and out,
As you remember everything people said,
When you just want to scream and shout.

But as you feel lost and alone,
But as you just break down and cry,
Remember nothing can be done by an idle stone,
Remember nothing can be done unless you try.

Lay down your sweet and weary head,
Rest upon my shoulder,
Let nothing be said,
Drift off quietly into silent slumbler.

Take a soft glance around,
What do you see?
Shelter from violence and sound,
Safe with Me.
Safe with Me.

CURSE YOU JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, u just had to be in the mood...

CURSE YOU JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, for passing down that "joke"
CURSE YOU JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, wish i could wash ur mouth with soap...

CURSE YOU JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, it spread like wildfire without control,
CURSE YOU JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, i hope the other party din get to know...

CURSE YOU JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, my reputation has flown the coop,
CURSE YOU JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, for revealing my b**bs!!
