Dream it Out Loud
How do آپ speak in silence?
Why do آپ sleep when you're awake?
If we just cut the tie lines, then we can simply sail away.
Pack up your things. Write it all down.
You'll soon be accustomed to the sound.
Dream it out loud.
Dream it out loud.
Dream it out loud.
I want to paint in colors.
Leaving the land of black and white.
And if we do go back there, we'll see it in a different light.
Ready to go. Open the door.
Just like the rain falls from the cloud.
Dream it out loud.
Dream it out loud.
Dream it out loud.
It's a better day.
We're on our way.
If there's anything we can't remember.
Who's to say it's not all just a dream.
Don't have to think about it.
Just like a river it will flow.
We waited to long without it.
If we just get up now and go.
Open your eyes and look around.
You'll be surprised what آپ have found.
Dream it out loud. (x 10)
(I'm dreaming. Keep on dreaming.) (x10)

A Child's Mind
A child's mind is so soft a clay
mold it to into anything آپ may
it's tender and innocent so, for the moment
let it free to play!
Nothing does it know, of the Life's Dirty Play
For it life is all Bright and Gay
It is True, Sweet and Pure
But the way it is, Let it stay!
For in this world of misery and grief
To my mind is a relief,
that a Temple of Innocence
in the world still does exist!

The Falling Man
One of the most haunting تصاویر captured from 9/11, it shows a man free-falling after he has jumped from one of the windows of North Tower. He was one of the people they call “Jumpers”, who chose to jump to their death rather than get suffocated سے طرف کی the smoke یا get buried under the rubble. Some called them cowards, while some sensationalized them as tragic symbols of 9/11. But the fact of the matter is, it was a hard choice for anyone to make, and one can not really judge the decisions a person makes in times like these.
People, آپ rant so much about how آپ have a hard time making choices. Whether آپ should work on your assignment یا go out with your friends. Whether آپ should تاریخ this guy یا that guy. Whether آپ should break up with your boyfriend یا not. Whether آپ should wear the گلابی بلاؤز, کمری یا the baby blue one.
Imagine the choice this man had to make.....

if someone is making آپ upset, just say "look how carless and mean he/she/they are/is."
if someone doesn't believe you, just say "i can't do anything to change your mind."
if someone doesn't like the way آپ are, یا they want to change something about you, say "i didn't make myself like this. this is how i was born. take me as i am, یا don't accept me at all."
if someone is bullying آپ for "no reason", it's because they like you, یا is jealous of you, یا it's the spirits clashing.
