... and check out the video! My favorite recent video, for sure.
Lyrics:
Sometimes I lay under the moon
And I thank God I'm breathing
Then I pray don't take me soon
Cause I am here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday it'll all turn around because
All my life I been waiting for
I been prayin for
For the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play
One day
It's not about win or lose cause we all lose when they feed on the souls of the innocent blood drenched pavement keep on moving though the waters stay raging and in this life you may lose your way, it might drive you crazy but don't let it phase you no way
Chorus
One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Stop with the violence down with the hate one day we'll all be free and proud to be under the same sun singing songs of freedom like...
I love Andy Warhol. Maybe he'll brighten up a Monday. Eh? Mondays are so not my favorite days.. but I need to kick some major butt the next few weeks - especially when it comes to school. I have SO much to do. Eep!
So maybe this shouldn't have been the week I decided to stop drinking carbonation.. (including my favorite diet coke!)
I might regret this.
In other things.. I heard Savage Garden on the way to work today. It flashed me right back to the 90s. I can't believe how old that song made me feel! But how I also knew every. single. word. of that song. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I sang a few lines outloud, in my car, alone.
The first Savage Garden CD was the soundtrack to one of our family vacations to California when I was little - about 11 I think. That song really made me want to go back to California.. Santa Monica pier could really hit the spot right now, if you know what I mean.
Fais moi de la place Juste un peu de place Pour ne pas qu'on m'efface J'n'ai pas trop d'amis Regarder en classe C'est pas l'extase J'ai beaucoup d'espace Je suis seul et personne à qui le dire C'est pas le pire Quand la pause arrive Je n'suis pas tranquille Il faut que je m'ecclipse Ou alors, accuser le coup Où dehors
Faudra que je cours Tous les jours Faudra-t-il que je cours Jusqu'au bout
Je n'ai plus de souffle Je veux que l'on m'écoute Plus de doutes Pour m'en sortir Je dois tenir et construire Mon futur Partir à la conquête D'un vie moins dure Sûr que c'est pas gagné Mais j'assure mes arrières Pour connaître l'amour Et le monde
Pour connaître le monde Et l'amour Il faudra que je cours Tous les jours
J'voudrais m'arrêter J'peux plus respirer Dans ce monde parmi vous J'voudrais m'arrêter J'peux plus respirer Dans ce monde parmi vous
Give me some room Just a little bit [of room] So that they don't wipe me out I don't have much friends To look around in class is not (exactly) extacy I have a lot of (empty) space I'm alone, and (there is) nobody to tell it to It's not the worst (thing) When it is time for break I'm not at ease I have to hide myself (lit.: eclipse myself) Or else, [??] Where outside
I will have to run Every day Will I have to run All the way to the end?
I'm out of breath I want them to listen to me No doubts anymore To get out I have to hang on (i.e. not give up) and build My future Go out on a conquest of a better life Of course, succes is not guaranteed But I cover my back To (learn to) know love And the world
To (get to) know the world and love I will have to run every day
I would like to stop I can't breath anymore In this world, between (all of) you I would like to stop I can't breath anymore In this world between (all of) you
Je suis désolé je n'ai écrit pas mon 'frenchy friday' le semaine dernière. J'ai pense qu'écrivant au sujet du tremblement de terre du Haïti était plus important. Pensez-vous ceci aussi? J'espère..
Maintenant, aujourd'hui, j'écrive de ma favorite musique de français: Kyo. J'adore Kyo.. C'est vrai. Tu aime?
Ma traduction:
I am sorry I didn't do "Frenchy Friday" last week, I thought writing about Haiti's earthquake was more imporant. Don't you think? I hope..
Now, today I write of my favorite french music: Kyo. I adore them! It's true.
Maintenant, vendredi est pour français. Français, français, français. J'aime cette chanson du Flight of the Conchords c'est amusant. Oui? Quand on ne parle pas français, c'est chant bien. C'est un bonne chanson.
