Letting go is my life, I'll be on my way.

"As I started to picture the trees in the storm, the answer began to dawn on me.
The trees in the storm don't try to stand up straight and tall and erect.
They allow themselves to bend and be blown with the wind.
They understand the power of letting go.

Those trees and those branches that try too hard to stand up strong and straight are the ones that break.
Now is not the time for you to be strong, Julia, or you, too, will break."
- Julia Butterfly Hill

Armor For Sleep - Kind Of Perfect


Can I just be something,
Somewhere in your room,
That you won't notice.

Maybe I'll be paper,
Or books thrown on your floor,
Move me when you want to.

I'll live where you put me,
In your VCR,
If I become a cassette.

Or on top of your computer,
If that's where I would fit,
Then so be it.

But things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

I will not say one word,
I'll just hang around,
I won't annoy you at all.

When you move out I'll stay,
Until I'm thrown away,
But then it won't matter.

Things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Because things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

I promise to stop now,
To stop now.
I promise to stop now,
To stop now.

But things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Letting go is my life,
I'll be on my way..


Peace & love,
Lewis

Said he'd seen my enemy, said he looked just like me.

Before saying my bit, here's a video I hope most of you would take the time to watch.
Especially those who failed their promotional examinations, or just need a sense of motivation to keep going. Don't give up.
"You can't beat the grim reaper by not dying. You beat the reaper by living well." - Dr. Randy Paush

"Even though you may not appreciate,
The concern I have for you will not depreciate.
And one day you will know,
That even when your sun stops to glow,
I'll be your shelter,
And make sure to pick you up whenever you falter."
- Me

They all tell me it's not worth it.
I tell them I know.
And I do know.
But, there's just a tiny part of me that says,
I'm not worth her.

I'm tired of this game.
I'm going to remain silent.
For the moment.

James Blunt - Same Mistake (Boyce Avenue Acoustic Cover)


So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

Uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu

And so I sent some men to fight
And one came back at dead of night
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

Uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Uhuuuu

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk but not just speak
Don't buy the promises cause
There are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go

Uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu


Peace & love,

Paint Me In Your Sunshine.

Dudley asked me the other day, "Why her?"
I answered him, "I seriously don't know.
"She wasn't supposed to be the person I thought I'd want to be with. Not the type of girl I'd ever thought to consider." I continued.
Then I looked at him and paused for a while.
"I seriously don't know why." I said thereafter laughing at myself.

Isn't this bullshit so confusing.
This thing we call "love".
Screw it.
It kills people.
It killed me.
It is killing me.
Talk about "Once bitten, twice shy. Thrice bitten you can go and die!"
Let me count: "One...two...three...four.... Oh dang, I should be dead."

And why do I even bother when I took so much trouble to get it, and she chucks it aside.
Why do I even bother...

Despite all that, I still question, "Is she the one?"

From the clip,
"Fine. Fine, take it. Because my head is filled with questions and I can assure you no answer to any one of them has ever brought me one iota of happiness. Except for one. The one. The only question I've ever wanted an answer to - is she the one? The answer bloody well isn't forty-two, it's yes. Undoubtedly, unequivocally, unabashedly yes. And for one week, one week in my sad little blip of an existence, it made me happy."

Marie Digby - Paint Me In Your Sunshine (Acoustic)


Paint me in your sunshine
Wake my sleepy eyes
Round me in your comfort
Stay with me for all of time

Reach your hand,
I'll follow
Darken clouds for your rays of hope

So paint me in your sunshine
Walk with me, stay by my side
Fill my head with stories
For love and war and glory

Reach your hand,
I'll follow
Light the path that will lead me home

Oh, oh, Home
Oh, oh, Home

One day the world will grow colder
Everything we've come to cherish crumbles
And only then will we turn back and remember your glow

Paint me in your sunshine
Leave the part of you behind
Tell me where I'll find you
And send me off to another day
Till we meet tomorrow

Reach your hand,
I'll follow
Hold me close till the day that I grow old

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Mm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
Mm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm


Peace & love,
Lewis

This is the correlation of salvation & love.

The clock is ticking;
Time is running.
My mind is swirling,
But other than you, I think of nothing.

Directions I must choose,
With a whole lot for me to lose.
But losing itself is nothing much,
Cause all I want is to feel your touch.

Examinations may pull me down,
But I'll not stand to see myself drown.
So push forth I shall go,
Till there is nothing left to show.

Everything may go against me,
But I'll wait till the end to see.

- Me

Even in my most unstable state, I care for you.

Anberlin - The Unwinding Cable Car


Your motives unstable you're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it's the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed you've seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about

This is the correlation of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in

La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la

Backing away from the problem of pain you never had a home
You've been misguided, you're hiding in shadows for so very long
Don't you believe that you've been deceived? that you're no better than...
The hair in your eyes, it never disguised what you're really thinking of

This is the correlation of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in

This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in

You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, grace marks your heart
You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, grace marks your heart
You're so brilliant (This is the correlation)
Don't soon forget (Between salvation and love, don't drop your arms)
You're so brilliant (I'll guard your heart)
Grace marked your heart (With quiet words I'll lead you in and out of the dark)

La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
Don't drop your arms
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la

This is the correlation of salvation and love (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I'll lead you in

This is the correlation of salvation and love (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I'll lead you in


Peace & love,

Reach out your hand.

God Speaks

"As the night sets in,
You wish you could get out of this din.
You think about your troubles,
Look back at your fumbles.

The tears start to flow down,
But you do not make a sound.
You fake a smile,
Just to escape for a while.

You feel like nobody understands you,
And it's just hopeless dreams you wish to pursue.
You try to ease the tension,
By seeking divine intervention.

You try your best,
But somehow still fail every single test.
You question Me,
And hope that your pain I can see.

I just want to say,
That I can hear you pray.
And I kept your every single tear,
In a jar I hold so dear.

Keep holding on,
And pretty soon all your pain will be gone.
Even when it seems I'm not there,
I hope you know that I am aware.

And one day you will know,
That even when your sun stops to glow,
I will be your shelter,
And pick you up whenever you falter."

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

Casting Crowns - Voice Of Truth


Oh,what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win,
You'll never win."

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
The Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

Oh, what I would do
To have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
Of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out
My name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
You'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
The Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the Voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus you are the Voice of truth
And I will listen to you.. oh you are the Voice of truth


Peace & love,
Lewis

Had enough.

I seriously had enough.
I know this is one-way traffic.

Keep Holding On.

"When things do not go your way,
And you're left in dismay,
When everything's not okay,
And you start to pray,

When troubles enter the fray,
And you inevitably stray,
When you go through everyday,
Feeling tired of the smiles you have to portray,

I just want to say,
There's always a price one has to pay,
With choices they have to weigh,
Just to see their problems slowly fade away.

Even when your sky is grey,
And you feel like you're God's sitting prey,
Don't give up halfway,
Be strong come what may.

I know this may sound cliche,
But I'll be here to try to brighten up your day,
If you give me the chance today."

- Me

This is for all my friends, especially one, and my brothers going through this tough period.
You're not alone.
You're never alone (:

Boyce Avenue - Keep Holding On (Avril Lavigne Acoustic Cover)


You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know i'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go you know i won't give in
No I won't give in.

Keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away i wish you were here
Before it's too late this could all disappear
Before the doors close, and it comes to an end
But with you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah yeah

Keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through


Peace and love,
Lewis

The forgotten.

You caught me by surprise,
As it was during the time when I could not rise.
I was kept down from my previous experience,
Still unable to shake off the occurrence.

I prayed for a miracle,
Hoping not to receive something which is satirical.
Then there you were,
Beckoning me out of the blur.

Beautiful you are,
With no other human being on par.
Special you are,
Like the brightest ever shinning star.

Though you may not agree,
You are to me.
But afraid I am,
Knowing this is no tinker's damn.

Giving too much may not be the best choice,
But I just want to see you in rejoice.
Strange that this looks so familiar,
Yet feels so peculiar.

Perhaps it may be one-way traffic,
But it may not be all so tenebrific.
Because when you smile,
It makes it all worthwhile.

I may be a fool,
And never be cool.
I may be small,
And never tall.

But one thing's for certain,
And not one that you can draw the iron curtain.
Is that you're lingering in my mind,
And it's not something I can unbind.
- Me

Michael Jackson - You Are Not Alone


Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone

All alone
Why, oh

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
So forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Then something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
And you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone


Peace and love,
Lewis
