Where no one knows my name

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone?
Oh, it has begun
Oh dear you look so lost
Eyes are red, the tears are shed
This world you must have crossed

You said
You don’t know me
You don’t even care, oh yeah

She said
You don’t know me
You don’t wear my chains, oh yeah

Essential yet appealed
You carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
Where flowers gaze at you
They’re not the only ones
Who cry when they see you

You said
You don’t know me
You don’t even care, oh yeah

She said
You don’t know me
You don’t wear my chains, oh yeah

She said I think I’ll go to Boston
I think I’ll start a new life
I think I’ll start it over
Where no one knows my name

I’ll get out of California
I’m tired of the weather
I think I’ll get a lover
And fly ‘em out to Spain

I think I’ll go to Boston
I think I’m just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind

I think I need a sunrise
I’m tired of sunset
I hear it’s nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice, oh yeah

Boston, where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name

Boston, where no one knows my name…

Bí Thusa ‘mo Shúile

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
Be all else but naught to me, save that thou art;
Be thou my best thought in the day and the night,
Both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,
Be thou ever with me, and I with thee Lord;
Be thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
Be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
Be thou my whole armor, be thou my true might;
Be thou my soul’s shelter, be thou my strong tower:
O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise:
Be thou mine inheritance now and always;
Be thou and thou only the first in my heart;
O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art.

High King of heaven, thou heaven’s bright sun,
O grant me its joys after victory is won;
Great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all.

That I may look to You, and You alone…

My love, my life

Your only Son, no sin to hide
But You have sent Him from Your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become the Lamb of God

Your gift of love they crucified
They laughed and scorned him as he died
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God

Oh Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God
I love the holy Lamb of God
Oh wash me in His precious Blood
My Jesus Christ the Lamb of God

I was so lost I should have died
But You have brought me to Your side
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be called a lamb of God

Oh Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God
I love the Holy Lamb of God
Oh wash me in His precious Blood
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God

Oh wash me in His precious Blood
My Jesus Chris, the Lamb of God…

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…
