Favourite Lyrics 1 - Heal The World

                                                 

A work-loaded weekend accompanied by a humid May afternoon often increases the level of impatience. The heart wants to runaway to the terrace, wants to get mingle with some cool evening breeze. However, the mind orders to stay in front of laptop and work. In the conflict of heart and mind, the heart searches for some solace in musics and lyrics. A random search and a humming of particular tune stuck at the back of mind resulted in discovery of the lyrics of a long time favourite. 

Heal The World

There's A Place In

Your Heart

And I Know That It Is Love

And This Place Could

Be Much

Brighter Than Tomorrow

And If You Really Try

You'll Find There's No Need

To Cry

In This Place You'll Feel

There's No Hurt Or Sorrow

There Are Ways

To Get There

If You Care Enough

For The Living

Make A Little Space

Make A Better Place...

Heal The World

Make It A Better Place

For You And For Me

And The Entire Human Race

There Are People Dying

If You Care Enough

For The Living

Make A Better Place

For You And For Me

If You Want To Know Why

There's A Love That

Cannot Lie

Love Is Strong

It Only Cares For

Joyful Giving

If We Try

We Shall See

In This Bliss

We Cannot Feel

Fear Or Dread

We Stop Existing And

Start Living

Then It Feels That Always

Love's Enough For

Us Growing

So Make A Better World

Make A Better World...

Heal The World

Make It A Better Place

For You And For Me

And The Entire Human Race

There Are People Dying

If You Care Enough

For The Living

Make A Better Place

For You And For Me

And The Dream We Were

Conceived In

Will Reveal A Joyful Face

And The World We

Once Believed In

Will Shine Again In Grace

Then Why Do We Keep

Strangling Life

Wound This Earth

Crucify Its Soul

Though It's Plain To See

This World Is Heavenly

Be God's Glow

We Could Fly So High

Let Our Spirits Never Die

In My Heart

I Feel You Are All

My Brothers

Create A World With

No Fear

Together We'll Cry

Happy Tears

See The Nations Turn

Their Swords

Into Plowshares

We Could Really Get There

If You Cared Enough

For The Living

Make A Little Space

To Make A Better Place...

Make It A Better Place

For You And For Me

And The Entire Human Race

There Are People Dying

Heal the world we live in, save it for our children

I am the CAPTAIN of my soul

When the cuckoo's call, the sweet fragrance of madhobilata, the bright colors of "kagoji ful", the touch of the sliding breeze or the warmth of a lovely spring morning can't refresh my five senses, the nerdy heart of mine wants to take shelter on verses of poems. Poem always makes me feel stronger. I was turning the pages of my diary where I have copied lines of my favourite poems. And YES, I found my lines.

This particular poem is like my saving grace. From my teenage days, whenever I am feeling blue, every single line of this poem has replenished my soul with strength, courage and energy to face the challenges of this world. I am sharing this favourite of mine with you all.

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.
