You don't see the things I see I'll tell you things you won't believe Above the skies overseas I hear them, all those places calling me To never give up To never backdown You'll get through the storm Even the night, the darkest before the dawn Live your life Live your dream It's the sound of soul in me, in me Live your life Live your dream, ooh-oh-oh You invent what you believe It was not easy from the start There were days when I fell apart (there were days when I fell apart) Just keep following your heart Keep that hope 'cause it's hope that dies the last.

" So I was the one with all the glory While you were the one with all the strength

Nagsimulang bumuka ang mga labi ni Llamar at narinig ang isang nakabibighaning tinig. Now I don't wanna lose you But I don't wanna use you Just to have somebody by my side And I don't wanna hate you I don't wanna take you But, I don't wanna be the one to cry And that don't really matter to anyone anymore But like a fool, I keep losin' my place And I keep seein' you walk through that door But there's a danger in lovin' somebody too much And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust

Kahit siguro magtagal ako ng isang buwan dito ay ayos lang. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganito kalumang garden ngunit maganda pa rin sa paningin. Mabuti naman at may nahanap akong lugar na sa tingin ko ay matatawag kong akin. Dahil ako lang ang nandito, walang mang-gugulo sa akin, walang mang-bubully, walang manghihiya, at higit sa lahat ay wala akong sakit na mararamdaman kung hindi kapayapaan.
