Dream

Everybody has the right to dream,                                              But not everybody has the will to fight.

To be a dreamer, you must also be a ready warrior.

The sound of dawn

by Nick Chan

Il pleure dans mon coeur

Like city’s rain, my heart
Rains teardrops too. What now,
This languorous ache, this smart
That pierces, wounds my heart?

Gentle, the sound of rain
Pattering roof and ground!
Ah, for the heart in pain,
Sweet is the sound of rain!

Tears rain-but who knows why?-
And fill my heartsick heart.
No faithless lover’s lie? . . .
It mourns, and who knows why?

And nothing pains me so–
With neither love nor hate–
A simply not to know
Why my heart suffers so.

A poem by Paul Verlaine

Rain

I miss dancing in the rain…

Not that I ever knew how to or ever did, but…

I miss dancing in the rain.

Barely

The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time

I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you’ve already figured out

I’m falling apart
I’m barely breathing
With a broken heart
That’s still beating

In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning

So I’m holding on
I’m holding on
I’m holding on
I’m barely holding on to you

The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I’m an open book instead

I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose
They’re still looking for life

I’m falling apart
I’m barely breathing
With a broken heart
That’s still beating

In the pain
Is there is healing
In your name
I find meaning

So I’m holding on
I’m still holding
I’m holding on
I’m still holding
I’m holding on
I’m still holding
I’m barely holding on to you

I’m hanging on
Another day
Just to see what
You will throw my way

And I’m hanging on
To the words you say
You said that I will
I’ll be ok

The broken lights on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Haven’t forgotten my way home

I’m falling apart
I’m barely breathing
With a broken heart
That’s still beating

In the pain
Is there is healing
In your name
I find meaning

So I’m holding on
I’m still holding
I’m holding on
I’m still holding
I’m holding on
I’m still holding
I’m barely holding on to you

I’m barely holding on to You…

Down

Don’t know where I’m at
I’m standing at the back
And I’m tired of waiting
Waiting here in line
Hoping that I’ll find
What I’ve been chasing.

I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
Why do I try?
I know I’m gonna fall down
I thought I could fly
So why did I drown?
Never know why
It’s coming down, down, down.

I’m not ready to let go
Cause then I’d never know
What I could be missing
But I’m missing way too much
So when do I give up
What I’ve been wishing for

I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try?
I know I’m gonna fall down
I thought I could fly
So why did I drown?
Never know why
It’s coming down, down, down.

Oh, I am coming down, down, down
I can’t find another way around
I don’t want to hear the sound
Of losing what I never found.

I shot for the sky
I’m stuck on the ground
So why do I try?
I know I’m gonna fall down
I thought I could fly
So why did I drown?
I never know why
It’s coming down, down, down.

Oh it’s coming down, down, down…
