Stay With Me

STAY WITH ME

There’s a song in my head playing all day long

Humming in my dreams, my heart beating all along

My world is spinning now, things going all too fast

Too fast to take it in, will this be our last?

I know that I’m not that strong enough to live all alone

I need someone to hold on to so tight

But time is ticking too fast, am I a thing of the past?

Now I’m asking you tonight

Stay with me, breathe for me

Live for me, never let go

Stay afloat, just hold on

Hold my hand, we’ll both be strong

My head’s all quiet now, just silence everywhere

The world is standing still, still I could not dare

I know that I’m not that strong enough to live all alone

I need someone to hold on to so tight

But time is ticking too fast, am I a thing of the past?

Now I’m asking you tonight

There were so many factors that inspired the making of this song. First was a broken friendship, another was my own insecurity over relationships, and other sad things from the past. In all these experiences, one thing is highlighted - that people can go in and out, beyond our control, of our lives. This song is my own quaint plea for people to stay committed. There seems to be so much unfaithfulness in the world we need men who can stand by their promises.

The Father's Song

THE FATHER'S SONG

Every morning you wake up with a question on your face

What is life? What is there to live for?

The emptiness is eating you from within

Who am I? What is there for me?

And the world is spinning, confusing you

But here I am calling you to me

Sleep tight my child and surrender

Close your eyes, embrace my peace

Sleep tight my child and surrender

In my arms you shall find your peace

You were known by me and loved before your birth

In my thoughts you live and clothed with much worth

You are mine to keep and love forever more

The day flies past you and you ask if you ever lived

Is there love? Are there real friends?

It's pulling you apart and tearing you within

I hear your heart calling out to me

For the world is spinning, confusing you

So here I am calling you to me

You searched and scoured the world but never found that peace

The peace you can't find in yourself

The peace you can only find in me

I composed this song in one of my saddest days. There are times when the paralyzing sadness and confusion are so strong you feel helpless against life. Yet, I remembered that these are the very times that we are asked to surrender everything and allow our Heavenly Father to take care of us. When one has no more strength to carry on, God is always there to become that Strength.

Off the Radar

Many people have been asking me where I am. Maybe because they don't see me bubbling on Facebook. Just to quell fears of my alien abduction or my untimely death, it's Lent and I just felt that the time is right to let go of some things, for now.

Someone objected violently. How is it that I keep on posting notes in Facebook? We'll, that's the beauty of RSS feeds. You see, my blog and my Facebook account are married happily. Whenever I post in Blogger, it gets reposted in Gmail Buzz and in Facebook. So don't get scandalized if Facebook tells you that I posted something in the middle of the night. It's the Facebook server pulling my blog writings off Blogger.

Facebook will have to wait until Easter. Ciao!
