(Repeat Chorus)
may bagong liwanag
sa bigat nitong dinadala,
kahit buhay ay tila
hindi natatamasa
at walang sigla
gaya mo rin,
ang bawat tao raw
ay may kani-kaniyang
suliranin
mainam na makalaya
na nga, makaliwas ang
puso kong ito
at pati ng katawan
sa lupa
—mula sa kanilang
pagkakagapos
I can't tell where I'm going
Don't know where I've been
But I feel I'm moving quickly
And I guess that's all there is
I've gone round in my head
Side to side within
Reason had too much sense
Foolishness left me behind
Walking to a dirt-road crossroad
Guess I'll say hello
Whiskey from the heavens
Daniels in my veins
Traveling to hell on that southern gothic train
Baptized my humanity in the river
Left my soul with the morning star
Guess I've lost it all
They say that those with nothing left
Have nothing left to lose
Well hell, I'm far past that
With no future, and no past
Don't mess with me, son
Or my face will be your last
Whiskey's long gone now
But the moon's still shining bright
And there's heaven to gain
But hell to pay
The brass is still warm
But I'm cold as the grave
A Tendency For Love In A Forlorn Hope
Are we falling away? This is just supposed to be a beginning. Our
hearts tore open, jutting out of our chests.
My imploding rib cage is
so heartfelt as if tiny sharp things are piercing through my skin
—especially in that seeming
—point of no return.
I kept steady and not wanting anything more, out of this;
Except, now that our fates intertwine.
Now what am I supposed to do
to unleash my whole self
to you?
You're great and nice—at that;
I am out of words.
Your wiles foreshadow me.
by Jeph Johnson
Why is it okay for Muslims to actually name themselves after Mohammed, but no one is even allowed to make an image of him?
Then you have the Christians who are able to make countless and absurdly inaccurate images of Christ but seldom name their kids "Christ".
Well, there are those Hispanic people who name their kids "Jesus", but it is pronounced differently.
May you sleep in peace tonight
And have happy dreams without fright
When you wake to the suns new rays
And the stars sleep as you start your day
Know that you're blessed and I hope you see
I'm thinking of you, so think of me
In troubled times you may not always see
But I am he one who calmed the raging sea
I'm always there with you hand in hand
To carry you through the sinking sand
So cast your fears to the Lord above
So that you may know that I am Love
St. Jerome in the Wilderness
Master, Master come to me,
Savior, Savior hear my plea.
O Lord I understand my punishment.
I will not flee this banishment.
Until a time that you are done,
For you alone art the holy one.
Through temptation I have stayed,
Loyal in your gaze and unafraid.
I bear my cross as you bore yours,
Even with the window outdoors.
I use this quill to help you Lord,
As I hear the echo of a far off chord.
I praise your name to the land,
And rejoice when I hear the voices of the sand.
Amen, Amen I say to thee,
Amen, Amen please set me free.
