My Ipod didn't have songs in it when i bought it so i gave it to my girlfriend and let her have it for a week. She put almost a thousand songs in it and almost everything was RnB, sorry for the RnB fans but i don't like the genre much but it is still acceptable to my ear anyway. I have no choice when i got my ipod back so i listened to the songs anyway. After a few songs played i notice that it was alphabetically playing so i shuffled my player, after a few song i landed to a song "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato. I really don't know how and why it moved me but of all the songs i listened to it was different. The song goes like this...
Skies are crying I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!
As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here
When i understood the lyrics i realized that whether you like it or not, there are lot of miserable people out there who want people like YOU and ME to feel miserable as well. The good thing about this song is, it shows hope in the future. I believe that "If there is HOPE in the FUTURE there would be POWER in the PRESENT and if there is NO HOPE in the FUTURE there would be NO POWER in the PRESENT". What you thought about YESTERDAY is what will you do TODAY and what you will do today will be the basis of what you will be TOMORROW.
I was totally reminded by the song that we are born for greatness and we have a great purpose in life. To be in the positive side of the coin rather on the negative side. According to a book, there is no STORMFREE life but there is a STORMPROOF life. We all have DREAMS and I encourage you to stand and hold on to your passion in life. Treat your dreams as a treasure hidden in a field and never ever allow anyone to steal it from you because that is a God given VISION, i know sometimes the vision becomes blurry because of what is happening in our lives but always remember that God would not give you that VISION if He did not prepare your DESTINATION (Success), just continue to FOCUS and I know one day we will all be a SKYSCRAPER :)
thanks for reading.
until the next post
