One World

*note: meant to be like a rap

They often say it’s darkest
Before the light of dawn
They say that you will suffer
Before the battle’s won

They say wise words
But do they ever act
Before the souls of innocents
Start fillin up our past

[pre-chorus]
So why do we just stand by
Closing off the lights?
And will it be too late
When we try to stop this fight?

[Chorus]
This is one world
Stop playin with their lives
Start bringing home the children
They’re payin for our lives
This is one world
Let love rain from the skies
Stop polluting with the violence
Let freedom take you high
This is one world. Yeah

I despise all the politics
They’ll never tell the truth
Just pump you full of propaganda
They’ll choke you with their news

I never let them bring me down
I turn around and say
I believe in our people
And our love will save the day

[Pre-chorus]
So don’t just stand by
Closing off the light
Don’t let it be too late
Cuz we gotta end this fight

[Chorus till fade]

Heartbreak

(note: to the tune of Slow Dancing In A Burning Room by John Mayer)

I guess it’s really for the best

I guess it’s time we both moved on

Maybe time will mend our wounds now

No sense in throwing blame around

How did we let it get this far?

When did our love begin to fall?

How did we ever fool ourselves

And think we really had it all?

[Chorus]

It’s breaking down

And we’ve played it through

It’s breaking down

And I know we had to

So tell me,

Is this what love’s supposed to do?

I know that tears don’t fall from glass stones

I’m fighting hard to just stay calm

Why did you turn your back and walk out?

Baby, did you ever fight for us at all?

I fell in love the day I met you

The day you held me in your arms

But now im sittin and im wishin

That I’d never let you kiss me cuz I’ll never move on

[Chorus to fade]

Day 7 - A Picture Of You When You Were Little

Day 6 - A Blog

THIS ONE! :) I'd post Jason Mraz's blog but he took it down :( OH! check out hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com AWESOME blog :)

Day 5 - A Person You Miss

I tend not to miss people unless they mean a lot to me. It's hard for me to connect with people because of my trust issues and all, but when I do, I'm fiercely loyal. I guess the people I miss most are my CPOI family. I bonded on a level that I can't even articulate - and that's the best kind of bonding in my opinion. Hopefully we'll have a reunion soon :)

Day 4 - A Goal

Goals. Sometimes they are quite hard to define. Or accomplish for that matter. I find myself taking it easy these days - not many goals to worry about. Then again it's summer so really, I should just be worried about hanging out with friends before the grueling year of Orgo and Cell Bio starts.

As of now, my goals consist of fasting all 30 days of Ramadan and being open-minded. As for later, I guess my number one priority during the year will be to get straight As. Hey, you gotta reach for the stars so if you fall, you'll land on the clouds ;)

Why Does My Heart Cry So?

Why does my heart cry so?

The earth has been crumbling

The nightingale has flown

Why does my heart cry so?

The fathers are dying

The sons gave the blow

Why does my heart cry so?

We are not listening

Our ears have been cloaked

Why does my heart cry so?

The words we are speaking

The hurt our hearts more

Why does my heart cry so?

Our faith has been broken

His trust we’ve ignored

Why does my heart cry so?

We don’t feel our shame

Our guilt we don’t know

Why does my heart cry so?

Hell’s flames have been lit

No care we have, though

Why does my heart cry so?

Such monsters we are

Forsaking God’s love

Why does my heart cry so?

Lest we turn our ways,

To Hell we shall go

My heart, don’t cry so

His words, they will soothe you

Peaceful river’s flow
