Tsunami

All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
The tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad World
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad World
Mad World

Was on a bus travelling with the youths towards suntec city, when I happened to see the devastation done by the tsunami on a documentary. I knew how bad the situation was; the statistics didn't lie. It just struck me that, hey, this isn't just some silly tsunami that you study in textbooks; It is as real as it gets. Lives are literally torn apart.

To those struggling in the flood, all they could think of was the safety of their family, and that they were going to die. I felt alot of these feeligns when I heard the song you are listening to right now. Its really a sad and solemn piece of music.

The tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

Its funny how we always work for fame fortune wealth and power; Yet we as human beings are so fragile. All your acheievments surely will no longer matter the split second before the tsunami sweeps you away.

The tsunami has taught me a personal lesson not to dwell on worldy possessions, and that all that matters is... Him. All I can do now is pray for those victims.

Shalom. Peace.
