Life and Death
360/365 - 41/52
in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong
Sorry i have been away again, i have been working really hard to save up, the good news being i just got into college! Cant wait as i want to build up my skills so i am studying web design, so hopefully i will be able to do my own website and start learning extra skills which i love doing. :)
Anyhoo, playing catch up i felt i needed to do something different with my life and death theme and to me nothing represented the extremes of these as a nuclear detonation.
If you think about it, these explosions are taking the fundamental building blocks of life and creating death and destruction from them. More importantly
you can either choose to except the inevitability of your death or be calm in the thought that your soul will live on in another form in a new journey despite all the destruction. I know what i would like to believe.
Now i have to continue with my catch ups, see you all soon guys. :)
