Disaster strikes









spoken: Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better world for our children and our children's children. So that they know it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place.
There's a place in your heart And I know that it is love
And this place could be much Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.
Chorus: Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
for You and for me.
If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.
Chorus: Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
for You and for me.
Bridge: And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.
There are a lot of stories unheard of. How their survival instincts lead them to do what they did. It's sadly unfortunate that the aftershocks are hitting them again. 15 million displaced. 15 million. Death toll have now increased to 70,000. Or maybe more now. I suppose i can call China part of my home too because my granddad and my grand uncles are all fr china itself, which makes me a quarter of being a real mainland chinese (forgive me for my not-so-accurate mandarin please). And to know that Malaysian Chinese (or the entire Malaysian community, i'm not quite sure) have donated a colossal amount of RM15 million, is definitely something worth noting. I'm looking forward to this Friday's charity dinner at Mines with my aunt. Will talk about it soon.
