Fly to Stay Alive by maNga




LYRICS


You've fallen right out of the sky
I could swear you're a natural high
Volcanoes erupting inside...
When I see the sparkle in your eyes
But you don't even realize...
Cause you've been hurt so many times
They play with your heart, told you lies
Thes were wrong all along, you were right

But if you could see my love through a bird's eye
Will you would know how beautiful it is to

Fly!Baby!Fly!We got to fly to stay alive
These worlds, these worlds
No magic till we try

Take a leap,leap of fate
Reach for the stars in the night
Break the curse of this earth
There's miracles up in the sky
Where love birds fly

Like angels from heaven on earth
With no love they will never die
With dust of the pain and the dirt
And discover a diamond inside

I'm not saying I'm the perfect man
But I swear I will give it a try
I'm no pilot, I got no wings
But I know we will survive

Cause if you could see a love through a bird's eye
Will you would know how beautiful it is to

Fly!Baby!Fly!We got to fly to stay alive
These worlds, these worlds
No magic till we try

Take a leap,leap of fate
Reach for the stars in the night
Break the curse of this earth
There's miracles up in the sky

A Little Deed for Our Fellow

Just few days before typhoon Washi strike northern part of Mindanao (which includes Iligan city, my hometown and Cagayan de Oro city), I was so excited on my homecoming this December 25, 2011. Along with my friends, we have planned several activities to enjoy the holiday season but then,  our exciting plans were shattered along with the villages that were flushed by the typhoon Sendong.

Now that our beautiful hometown was covered by storm debris and mud, going home is not exciting anymore. We have cancelled whatever plans for fun and replaced it with something that could touch some lives. Together with my kind friends, we initiated to do some kindness works to our fellow in Iligan city. We know it’s a small scale one, but it’s better than doing nothing at all.

Watching those poor situations of the families in the evacuation on the TV squeezes my heart in pain. I wish I could do more for them but we also have limitations. But if we would just have collective effort, I guess the impact would be great. Kindly include them in your prayers. If you are able to help, please do help while we are still able to. Their lives must go on with your aid. Please see the links below on how to help the victims.
