And as we lie beneath the stars, We realize how small we are...

"If Everyone Cared" by Nickelback

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

[Chorus]

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died

Another song in a meaningful way to end off my day. This time its a song by Nickleback who brought us another hit song "Far Away"

Quote from Wikipedia

"The song discusses a very strong relationship between two people, who are always honest, supporting, and caring of each other. The chorus then describes a scenario where if everyone in the world acted like this towards every one else, then how better off the world would be if this were the case."

This reminds me of the story about the guy who would go to the beach and throw starfish washed up on the shore back into the sea. While he cannot possibly save all the starfish washed up on the shore, at least he made a difference to those he managed to throw back.

Sometimes I wonder why people are the way they are. From the idiots out there who like to put people down just becasuse they feel inferior or those who downright just want to make lives of those around him or her difficult. I mean not everyone is nice enough to just forgive and forget. Imagine if the person you put down yesterday became your boss next week... Or the guy whose life you made difficult is going to the be guy to interview you when you graduate...

Ok enough for today. Will post more tomorrow as I brave another wave of potshots and firing squads.

cheers,
Kenneth.
