    ...to your friends at JWD...or...?

    Here's my dedication (such a beautiful song and I've only just discovered it...better late than never I guess...):

    WHY WORRY

    Baby I see this world has made you sad
    Some people can be bad
    The things they do, the things they say
    But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
    I'll chase away those restless fears
    That turn your blue skies into grey

    Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
    There should be sunshine after rain
    These things have always been the same
    So why worry now

    Baby when I get down I turn to you
    And you make sense of what I do
    I know it isn't hard to say
    But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
    Our love comes shining red and gold
    And all the rest is by the way

    Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
    There should be sunshine after rain
    These things have always been the same
    So why worry now

    (Dire Straits)

    Just Breathe(2 am) ...Anna Nalick

    2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
    Can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
    I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
    Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
    Like they have any right at all to criticize,
    Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason

    'Cause you can't jump the track,we're like cars on a cable
    And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
    No one can find the rewind button girl,
    So cradle your head in your hands
    And breathe, just breathe,
    Woah breathe, just breathe

    May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
    Just a day, he sat down to the flask in his fist,
    Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
    Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
    But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
    Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.

    Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
    And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
    No one can find the rewind button boys,
    So cradle your head in your hands,
    And breathe, just breathe,
    Woah breathe, just breathe

    There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
    'Cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
    These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
    If you only try turning around.

    2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
    If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
    Inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to
    And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
    Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
    And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

    Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
    And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
    No one can find the rewind button now
    Sing it if you understand.
    And breathe, just breathe
    Woah breathe, just breathe,
    Oh breathe, just breathe.

    to all the young lurkers on JWD who are having doubts about "the truth". the song is about finding yourself, and discovering things you never dreamt you were capable of. cheerio:


    Ben Kweller - On My Way

    I want to kill this man but he turned around and ran.
    I'll kill him with karate that I learned in Japan.
    He wouldn't see my face. I wouldn't leave a trace.
    I wouldn't use a bullet cause a bullet's a disgrace.

    Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a murdering man
    But tonight I'm on my way.

    There's this drawer that I know in a house up the road
    That's full of things that are easily sold.
    When they go out of town I could go and snoop around
    And make myself rich off the things that I found.

    Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a stealing man
    But tonight I'm on my way.

    I was sitting on the bleacher staring at the speaker,
    Reading his lips but I could not understand.
    So I opened up my ears and clearly I could hear
    This detailed story all about a grain of sand.

    Aw, mom, I always dreamt of being a good listener
    So tonight I'm on my way.

    There's this kid you gotta meet. He lives across the street.
    He's got spirit and heart. We're ten years apart.
    He is up for anything. He can hang with anyone.
    He still likes the things we used to think were fun.

    Aw, mom, I never thought that I could have a friend
    But tonight I'm on my way.

    I'm in love with someone who's as pretty as a flower.
    Her life give me power so I'm buyin' her a ring.
    She makes hats with her hands. She is such an artist.
    I'm her biggest fan and I'm teaching her to sing

    Aw, mom, I never thought that I could love no one
    But tonight I'm on my way.

    I'm going to dedicate this song to all of us JWD'ers. It's called "You'll Never Get To Me" by Killing Joke.

    You'll Never Get to Me

    Sea of hurt, I feel the waves of pain
    And now the tide comes in again
    Caught in a vicious cycle of despair
    Give me the courage to face another day

    Oh, sing a song of joy
    Sweet childhood, never desert me
    Time for celebration, oh!
    Overcome with a sense of elation
    I'll never let you get to me
    Survival is my victory

    I sighed and sighed as I was mourning
    I said sorry a thousand times
    I cried aloud to God for all my failings
    But God seemed deaf as well as blind

    Oh, sing a song of joy
    Sweet childhood, never desert me
    Time for celebration, oh!
    Overcome with a sense of elation
    I'll never let you get to me
    Survival is my victory

    We drank and smoked and talked until the dawn
    We shared our problems and our food
    Telling tales of courage and resolution
    Through all the hardships we'd endured

    Oh, sing a song of joy
    Sweet childhood, never desert me
    Time for celebration, oh!
    Overcome with a sense of elation
    I'll never let you get to me
    Survival is my victory

    SHAWN MULLINS LYRICS

    Shimmer

    Sharing with us what he knows
    Shining eyes are big and blue
    And all around him water flows
    This world to him is new
    This world to him is new
    To touch a face
    To kiss a smile
    New eyes see no race
    The essence of a child
    The essence
    He's born to shimmer, he's born to shine
    He's born to radiate
    He's born to live, he's born to love
    But we'll teach him not to hate
    True love it is a rock
    Smoothed over by a stream
    No ticking of a clock
    Truly measures what that means
    Truly measures what that means
    And this thing they call our time
    Heard a brilliant woman say
    She said you know it's crazy
    How I want to try to capture mine
    I think I love this woman's way
    I think I love this woman's way she shimmers, the way she shines
    The way she radiates
    The way she lives, the way she loves
    The way she never hates
    Sometimes I think of all of this that can surround me
    I know it all as being mine
    But she kisses me and wraps herself around me
    She gives me love, she gives me time
    And I feel fine I feel fine
    But time I cannot change
    So here's to looking back
    You know I drink a whole bottle of my pride
    And I toast to change to keep these demons off my back
    Just get these demons off my back
    Cause I want to shimmer, I want to shine
    I want to radiate
    I want to live, I want to love
    I want to try to learn not to hate
    Try not to hate
    We're born to shimmer, we're born to shine
    We're born to radiate
    We're born to live, we're born to love
    We're born to never hate

    Some friends sent this song to me, friends I made here from the forum, From the time I joined. They have been so encouraging. We talked about how we are born to love. and the jws taught us to hate.
