I'm thirsty, God, I'm thirsty
From drinking what destroys me
I'm pouring poison in my cup

I'm hungry, God, I'm hungry
Consuming what controls me
Somehow it never fills me up

We all want to find something to pass the time
But that could never be enough

Everybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to change

Do you remember when you
Had so much hope within you
It lingers deep inside you still

The more of us we swallow
The more we become hollow
Until we don't know how to feel

We all want to find something to satisfy
But we could never be enough

Everybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to change

When everything we say and take just leads to war and hate
We only pass the blame, sedate the pain, and move along
But something feels so wrong, so deep inside, so hard to hide
So desperately we try and try, and come to find that we are not what we've been looking for

I can't believe I"m hearing people say that all is well
I think it's time we all admit we have no good within ourselves
'Cause we are not okay, we're not alright, and we need to pray for help
Forgive us for our pride, Oh God, Oh God, please save us from ourselves

'Cause everybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to change

So God help us
Something's got to change
Something's got to change
So God help us
Something's got to change
So God help us

Before the Morning

Before the Morning


Do you wonder why you have to,
feel the things that hurt you,
if there's a God who loves you,where is He now?

Maybe, there are things you can't see
and all those things are happening
to bring a better ending
some day, some how, you'll see, you'll see

Chorus:
Would you dare, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain that you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming
so hold on, you got to wait for the light
press on, and just fight the good fight
because the pain that you've been feeling,
it's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends
and you know where you're going,
you just don't know how you get there
so say a prayer.
and hold on, cause there's good for those who love God,
life is not a snapshot, it might take a little time,
but you'll see the bigger picture

Would you dare, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain that you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming
so hold on, you got to wait for the light
press on, and just fight the good fight
because the pain that you've been feeling,
it's just the dark before the morning
yeah, yeah,
before the morning,
yeah, yeah

Once you feel the way of glory,
all your pain will fade to memory
once you feel the way of glory,
all your pain will fade to memory
memory, memory, yeah

Would you dare, would you dare, to believe,
that you still got a reason to sing,
'cause the pain that you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming
Would you dare, would you dare, to believe,
that you still got a reason to sing,
'cause the pain that you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming
com'n, you got to wait for the light
press on, and just fight the good fight
because the pain that you've been feeling,
it's just the hurt before the healing
the pain you've been feeling,
just the dark before the morning,
yeah, yeah
before the morning
yeah, yeah
before the morning

Touristy talk

So i've been here for so long and I haven't done any touristy talk about what I've done...

Anyways today was really hot,
usually up in SF its cold but it was wooo HOT!
Maybe becoz i'm the coz of global warming (HAHAHAHA, you know i'm kiddin right)
So finished hmwk at 5am and slept and woke at 7am
Travelled a good 45mins to SF and reached at 10am.
Met TLam and went to pick PP.

And for the first time ever (yes i've been here for a yr)
I stepped into Castro, the very famous gay street
and found the church TLam goes to called
"Reality SF" good worship!
Then we walked a little and ate Indian food,
Second time this week...but its good!

And we saw baby shirts "Diaper loading", "Ipood", "Potty Like a Rockstar!"

And we had a good talk about Palladium (check out the periodic table)
with our very own chemist, and ex-architecture student about SF Academy of Science building and MOMA and the exploratarium. Of which i've yet to visit 2 of them.

then we headed off to the twin peaks,
as mountain as a tortoise as I am, it was my virgin trip!
Gosh the view? FANTASTIC, and i forgot my camera WONDERFUL!
After which we came down for some ice-cream at Bi-Rite Creamery.
Gosh best thing ever! Earl grey tea is the bomb and honey lavender shld be gone!
(Insert photo)

And then right before we sent PP to her friend's brother's graduation,
we stopped by at blue bottle, to get the best coffee.
As blastingly full as I am, I had to give that up!
God loves me so much to bless me with a fun-filled Sunday.
Although i used my lousy cellphone camera but I hope it has made you a wee bit interested in comin to visit this place (:

Co-incedent

Many people come and go in your life,
and yet they reappear again at other occasions.
Yet some others touch your life for a short period and disappear.
Whats the purpose i meet you?

There's always a reason,
they come by and teach you something,
sometimes they come by to take something (well in other words needing our help).
At other times, its a beginning of something new...

You, you, you and you
has touched my life in one way or another
and to you, I hope a new seed will flourish in you.
And you would enjoy your time while travelling around US.
And you to always stay safe and be loved no matter where you are...

Love Daiyan

Raised

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

Probably an old song,
but it spoke to me...
And it comforts me to have someone sit awhile with me (:
And thank youu for raising me up to more than I can BE!
