What About Now?
I YouTubed Daughtry's What About Now, and his video is so inspiring. Some of you may have seen his song played in American Idol, when he went to visit the children with AIDS in Africa. The embedded code for the video has been disabled, so I can only provide the link. Click here.
Plaease view it to get the full effect ;)
Seeing his video has resurfaced one of my goals to achieve.. I have this dream to help out in Thailand - it's a project that keeps girls safe from sex trade/slavery. Ever since Oprah had a feature on it, I wanted to help them out. Then my friend Espy told me about Keep The Girls Safe Project in Thailand. They teach the girls living skills and keep them in school. So far I've emailed the people in charge, to volunteer, but there's no response (!).They only require monetary aids. I shall get this fulfilled one day..
Anyway, these are the lyrics to Daughtry's song:
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

Great post; glad that it arrived before it's too late... ;))
I’ll finally get some days off this year; not much, just from Friday night (September 5th) through Monday morning (September 15th). But I don’t leave you empty hands: a beautiful beach and lots of champagne wait for you at Blogtrotter. Enjoy!
