I CAN'T READ YOUBy: Daniel BedingfieldSubmitted
I’m never shy but this is different
I can’t explain the way I’m feeling tonight
I’m losing control of my heart
Tell me what I can do to make you happy
Nothing I ever say seems to come out right
I’m losing control of my heart
And I wish that I could beAnother better part of me
Cant hear what your thinking
Maybe if I just let goYou’d open up your heart
But I can’t read you I wish I knew what’s goin through your mind
Can’t touch your heart defending I get left behind
I can’t reach youI wish I knew what’s goin through your mind
Cant touch you, your hearts protecting I get left behind
No no no no no yeahNo no no no no I like you so much I’m acting stupid
I can’t play the game I’m all intense and alive
I’m losin control of my heart
I’m not supposed to be this nervous
I should play my hand all cool and calm
I cant breatheI’m losing control of my heart.
And I wish that you could seeThe other better part of me
Feel this fire I’m feelingThen you’d see me in control
And baby then you’d knowBut I can’t read you
I wish I knew what’s goin through your mind
Can’t touch your heart defending I get left behind
I can’t reach youI wish I knew what’s goin through your mind
Cant touch you, your hearts protecting I get left behindNo no no no
Michael Buble - Everything lyrics
You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.
[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy timesIt's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,You're every minute of my everyday.
And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,And you know that's what our love can do.[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy timesIt's you, it's you,
You make me singYou're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, LaSo, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy timesIt's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeahSo, La, La, La, La, La, La, LaSo, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
I'm staring out into the night And trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love and feeling good don't ever cost a thing,
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain
I'm going home to the place where I belong
where your love has always been enough for me
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
The miles are getting longer it seems The closer I get to you....
babe I've not always been the best man and friend for you
But your love remains true
and I don't know whyYou always seem to give me another try
I'm going home To the place where I belong
Where your love has always been good enough for me
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all
you just might get it all
and then some you dont want be careful what you wish
for cause you just might get it all You just might get it all
I'm going home to the place where I belong
Where your love has always been enough for me And I'm not running from..
you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me'
But these places and these faces are getting old
But these places and these faces are getting old
I'm going home I'm going home

every little thing by dishwalla

Let me into see you in the morning light
to get me on and all along the tears
they come see all come I want you to believe in life
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away
will you find out who you are too late to change?
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the timeI wish I could be
every little thing you wanted all the time
some timeslift me up
just lift me up don't make a sound
and let me hold you up before you hit the ground
see all comeyou say your all right
but I get the strangest feelingthat you've gone away-
you've gone awayand will you find out who you are too late to change?
I wish I could beevery little thing you wantedall the time
I wish I could beevery little thing you wantedall the time some times
Don't give me up
don't give me up tonightor soon nothing will be right
at all salvation will you find out who you are too late to change?
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
Only if
by enya
When there's a shadow you reach for the sun
when there is love then you look for the one
and for the promises there is the sky
and for the heavens are those who can fly
chorus
if you really want to, you can hear me say
only if you want to, will you find a way
if you really want to, you can seize the day
only if you want to, will you fly away
when there's a journey, you follow a star
when there's an ocean you sail from a far
and for the broken heart there is the sky
and for tomorrow are those who can fly
repeat chorus twice
Ah! Je voudrais voler comme un oiseau d'aileAh!
Je voudrais voler comme un oiseau d'ailed'aile
repeat chorus
if you really want to,
you can seize the day
only if you want to, will you fly away
Angels, answer me,are you near if rain should fall?
Am I to believeyou will rise to calm the storm?
For so great a treasure words will never do.
Surely, if this is, promises are mine to give you.mine to give...
Here, all too soon the day!Wish the moon to fall and alter tomorrow.
I should knowheaven has her way-
each one given memories to own.
Angeles, all could beshould you move both earth and sea
Angeles, I could feelall those dark clouds disappearing...
Even, as I breathecomes an angel to their keep.
Surely, if this ispromises are mine to give you.mine to give...

If You're Not The One (Daniel Bedingfield)
If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it,
I don’t understand If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it,
I don’t understand If I’m not made for you
then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it,
I don’t understand If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms?
_____
I know soon things will fall into place, you are my solitaire,
and you are mine. . . me are yours

Made me glad by Hillsong

I will bless the Lord forever
I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
He has set my feet upon a rock
I will not be moved
And I'll say of the Lord
You are my shield,
my strength
My portion,
deliverer
My shelter, strong tower
My very present help in time of need
Whom have I in heaven but YouT
here's none I desire beside You
You have made me glad
And I'll say of the LordYou are my shield,
my strength My portion,
delivererMy shelter,
strong tower
My very present help in time of need

finally uncovered a most significant thing It is a noble theme

What matters most Is how much we love
What matters most Is how much we give
What would it matter If we just lived Without loving our God
Without loving each other Faith, hope and love, especially love
That's what matters most What matters most
Once just a girl In a curious world Learning the meaning of life
Tell me what is the reason
And why do the seasons keep turning The pages of time
I had to discover the things from above For the days turn so quickly to years
Then they disappear
Not money, not power not fame or position
Don't want it, don't need it don't give me religion
All I wann hear All I wanna see
All I wanna read about is All I wanna live All I wanna know
All I wanna be about is Love,
what matters most Givin' love, what matters most
What matters most
Is how much we love What matters most
Is how much we give
What would it matter if we just lived Without loving our God
Without loving each other What matters most is How much we love
Setting our sights On the needs of our brother
Loving our neighbor as we love ourselves We give to the Lord
When we give to each other Faith, hope and love, especially love Faith, hope and love, especially love That's what matters most What matters most

a story unfolds.. .just world theory

The Just World Theory
By Claire Andre and Manuel Velasquez


Afterwards, they said that the 22-year-old woman was bound to attract attention. She was wearing a white lace miniskirt, a green tank top, and no underwear. At knife-point, she was kidnapped from a Fort Lauderdale restaurant parking lot by a Georgia drifter and raped twice. But a jury showed little sympathy for the victim. The accused rapist was acquitted. "We all feel she asked for it [by] the way she was dressed," said the jury foreman.
The verdict of the jurors in the Fort Lauderdale rape trial may have been influenced by a widespread tendency to believe that victims of misfortune deserve what happens to them. The need to see victims as the recipients of their just deserts can be explained by what psychologists call the Just World Hypothesis. According to the hypothesis, people have a strong desire or need to believe that the world is an orderly, predictable, and just place, where people get what they deserve. Such a belief plays an important function in our lives since in order to plan our lives or achieve our goals we need to assume that our actions will have predictable consequences. Moreover, when we encounter evidence suggesting that the world is not just, we quickly act to restore justice by helping the victim or we persuade ourselves that no injustice has occurred. We either lend assistance or we decide that the rape victim must have asked for it, the homeless person is simply lazy, the fallen star must be an adulterer. These attitudes are continually reinforced in the ubiquitous fairy tales, fables, comic books, cop shows and other morality tales of our culture, in which good is always rewarded and evil punished.
Melvin Lerner, a social psychologist, has conducted a series of experiments to test this hypothesis. In an impressive body of research, he documents people's eagerness to convince themselves that beneficiaries deserve their benefits and victims their suffering. In a 1965 study, Lerner reported that subjects who were told that a fellow student had won a cash prize in a lottery tended to believe that the student worked harder than another student who lost the lottery. In another study a year later, Lerner and a colleague videotaped a simulated "learning" experiment in which it appeared that the "participants" were subjected to electric shocks. Lerner found that subjects who observed the videotapes tended to form much lower opinions of these "victimized" participants when there was no possibility of the victim finding relief from the ordeal, or when the victim took on the role of "martyr" by voluntarily remaining in the experiment despite the apparent unpleasantness of the experience. Lerner concluded that "the sight of an innocent person suffering without possibility of reward or compensation motivated people to devalue the attractiveness of the victim in order to bring about a more appropriate fit between her fate and her character."
If the belief in a just world simply resulted in humans feeling more comfortable with the universe and its capriciousness, it would not be a matter of great concern for ethicists or social scientists. But Lerner's Just World Hypothesis, if correct, has significant social implications. The belief in a just world may undermine a commitment to justice.
Zick Rubin of Harvard University and Letitia Anne Peplau of UCLA have conducted surveys to examine the characteristics of people with strong beliefs in a just world. They found that people who have a strong tendency to believe in a just world also tend to be more religious, more authoritarian, more conservative, more likely to admire political leaders and existing social institutions, and more likely to have negative attitudes toward underprivileged groups. To a lesser but still significant degree, the believers in a just world tend to "feel less of a need to engage in activities to change society or to alleviate plight of social victims."
Ironically, then, the belief in a just world may take the place of a genuine commitment to justice. For some people, it is simply easier to assume that forces beyond their control mete out justice. When that occurs, the result may be the abdication of personal responsibility, acquiescence in the face of suffering and misfortune, and indifference towards injustice. Taken to the extreme, indifference can result in the institutionalization of injustice. Still, the need to believe that the world is just can also be a positive force. The altruism of volunteers and of heroes who risk their lives to help strangers in need is a result of people trying to restore justice to insure that the world remains just. As Melvin Lerner writes, "We have persuasive evidence that people are strongly motivated by the desire to eliminate suffering of innocent victims."
Neither science nor psychology has satisfactorily answered the question of why the need to view the world as just exerts such a powerful influence on human behavior and the human psyche. But the research suggests that humans have a need to bring their beliefs about what is right into conformity with the objective reality they encounter--and that they will work to achieve consistency either by modifying their beliefs or attempting to modify that reality. By becoming more conscious of our own tendencies, we may be more inclined to take the latter approach.
The need to see victims as the recipients of their just deserts can be explained by what psychologists call the "Just World Hypothesis."
