There's hope

Was watching Discovery Science about Jelly Fish, yah JELLY FISH!!!

Can you imagine that, but I learned that Jelly Fish got no BRAIN, WOW!!! ok ok maybe I'm not very good at science. That's where Discovery Science channel comes in to help poor Jimmy here, a person who lack of general & science knowledge.

But after watching for 15min!!! I get bored of the show, so I guess it doesn't really help me much, that's why I need HELP University College to help me in the area of knowledge. Hehe.

ok ok divide cut the short long story long short, so was pressing, pressing & pressing the remote control buttons till it reach at Hallmark channel (I seldom watch Hallmark's shows). They were showing The Oprah Winfrey Show, so I watched it awhile, almost at the end already by the way.

WAIT!!! what on earth am I doing, from Jelly Fish to The Oprah Winfrey Show. I have no idea why I landed on that show, probably unconsciously trying to understand women. Well I guess is not a very bad thing to do though, haha.

The POINT is, at the end of Oprah Winfrey show, there this lady, India Arie (she is from India... lol just kidding) she sang this song 'There's Hope'.

I like the lyrics though. It was so relevant to me in one way or another. I guess same goes to everyone too, especially to the society today. Try listen to it and go through the lyrics line by line, nice song by the way...

Enjoy =)

p/s: Aih!!! class starting tomorrow, I can't believe it... but only ONE class a week... THERE'S HOPE, hoho!!!

p/s: oh ya!!! HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY Anna Teoh!!! Hehe welcome to the "BIG 2 club"... There's hope, lol =P

India Arie - There's Hope
[Verse 1:]
Back when I had a little
I thought that I needed a lot
A little was over rated,
but a lot was a little too complicated
You see-Zero didn't satisfy me
A million didn't make me happy
That's when I learned a lesson
That it's all about your perception
Hey-are you a pauper or a superstar
So you act, so you feel, so you are
It ain't about the size of your car
It's about the size of the faith in your heart

[Chorus:]
There's hope
It doesn't cost a thing to smile
You don't have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that
[repeat]

There's hope

[Verse 2:]
Off in the back country of Brazil
A met a young brother that made me feel
That I could accomplish anything.
You see just like me he wanted to sing
He had no windows and no doors
He lived a simple life and was extremely poor
On top of all of that he had no eye sight,
but that didn't keep him from seein' the light
He said, what's it like in the USA,
and all I did was complain
He said-livin' here is paradise
He taught me paradise is in your mind
You know that

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Every time I turn on the T.V. (There's Hope)
Somebody's acting crazy (There's Hope)
If you let it, it will drive you crazy (There's Hope)
but I'm takin' back my power today (There's Hope)
Gas prices they just keep on rising (There's Hope)
The government they keep on lying
but we gotta keep on surviving
Keep living our truth and do the best we can do

[Chorus]

Stand up for your rights [echo]
Keep shining your light [echo]
And show the world your smile [echo]

[Chorus]
