tsunami
just when i start to complain about how my life isnt going perfect and i have no friends and im always doing the wrong thing, the earth says to itself " i think i want to do the salsa" what i mean by this is that i feel so selfish thinking about myself at a time like this when the world is going through the disaster of the tsunami in south eastern asia. i was thinking about it alot last night and i honestly wish i could go there and provide help some how. but considering i am only 16 and i dont have any money to give and i dont have enough money to go there then i dont see how i can make a difference for someones life. then i also started thinking about the things i could do to help people around my heighborhood, which led me tp thinking about the quantity of homeless people that live in the tacoma/seattle area. that made me want to earn a whole bunch of money and give it to all of them but then i thought the typical.. "what if they use money on smokes, or boos" so then i dicided i was going to work in a feild that i can pass out a card to tha homeless people for them to accept if they honestly wanted to get off the streets and get help. the song i was listening to when i started thinking about all of this was one of the reasons my heart was so soft... here are the lyrics
" she called out to the man on the street, 'sir can you help me? its cold and i've no where to sleep, is there somewhere you can tell me?' he walked on didnt look back, even though he could hear her, starts to whistle as he crosses the street, seems embarrassed to be there.....
think twice cuz it another day in paradise... ohhh think twice cuz its another day in paradise.......
" She called out to the man on the street, he can see shes been crying, she got blisters on the toes of her feet, she cant walk but shes trying............
think twice cuz it another day in paradise... ohhh think twice cuz its another day in paradise.......
"you can tell from the lines on her face, you can see that shes in there, shes been moved on from every place, cuz she didnt fit in there,...........
think twice cuz it another day in paradise... ohhh think twice cuz its another day in paradise......."
that song really moved me... it opens my eyes.. not only to notice or realize that people do suffer but also that people care enough to write a song about it... ya know?
