Brandi Carlile - Pride And Joy
Time of day I can't recall,
The kind of thing that takes its toll.
Over years and over time,
Over smiles and over wine.
All in all it wasn't bad,
All in all it wasn't good,
But I still care.
That's the problem with the days
They're never long enough to say,
What it is you never said,
All the books you never read.
I throw myself into the wind
Hoping somebody might pick me up
And carry me again.
Where are you now?
Do you let me down?
Do you make me grieve for you?
Do I make you proud?
Do you get me now?
Am I your pride and joy?
I believe this to be true
There’s nothing sacred, nothing new.
No one tells you when its time.
There are no warnings, only signs.
Then you know that you're alone,
You're not a child anymore,
But you're still scared.
All your mountains turn to rocks.
All your oceans turn to drops.
They are nothing like you thought;
You can't be something you are not.
Life is not a looking glass.
Don't get tangled in your past,
Like I am learning not to.
Where are you now?
Do you let me down?
Do you make me grieve for you?
Do I make you proud?
Do you get me now?
Am I your pride and joy?
Dave Stewart - Zombie (Cranberries cover)
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence.
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...
一人この世に生まれてきて、
一人この世で迷いはじめる。
世が、まとも、ならば。
葛藤は学習であったろうに。
葛藤は創造の力となりえたろうに。
なんと哀れな人の生き様よ。
なんと幼気な創造の源よ。
光を望む者には、望む以上の闇を送り、
苦しみを味わうものには、これ以上ない苦味を与えてくださるのに。。。。
あなたの、その、優しさは、
崩れたこの世の、崩れた人には、
背を打つ鞭としか、感じないのだろう。
なんと幼気な創造の源よ。。。。。。。
一つ、天の世界に生まれ出て、
一つ、天の世界で迷いはじめる。
天の世界が、まともと言うならば。
葛藤は学習であったろうに。
葛藤は創造の力となりえたろうに。
なんと哀れな天の世界の有様よ。
なんと幼気な創造の源よ。
光を望む天界の、神と歌われる子供らに、望む以上の闇を送り、
悲しみの涙を味わうものには、これ以上ない苦味を与えてくださるのに。
あなたの、その、優しさは、
崩れたあの天の世界の、崩れた光の子たちには、
背を打つ鞭としか、感じないのだろう。
なんと幼気な創造の源よ。。。。。。。
祈りを貪るものたちは、野のユリよりも美しく、着飾ることを知っている。
・・・・・・・・・。
