yesterday i heard the news
that 4 million russian children are homeless
they've been abandoned by the people they trust
now their cold and lonely lifes are hopeless
children round the world are dying
people say they care they're lying
if this life was theirs they'd be crying
is it really fair were not trying
yesterday I heard the news
that 20 million asian children are homeless
they've been abandoned by the people they love
they've been beaten down so hard they cant get up
children round the world are dying
people say they care they're lying
if this life was theirs they'd be crying
is it really fair were not trying
life is beautiful for some, life is beautiful for us
life is isn't beautiful for them, maybe life can be beautiful again
for them.

as teens and kids,like us,
do we, for at least one second thank god for how fortunate we are?
we need not suffer like them.
but, are we taking it all for granted?
most of us eat 3 proper meals per day.
we get to have certain things like
handphones,computers,proper education,
nice clothes,and even a proper roof over our heads.
indeed we are fortunate.
but, what about them?
we eat at restaurants, they search for food in the dumps.
we bathe in and drink clean water, they hardly even take a shower.
we sleep in comfortable beds, they sleep on the cold hard ground.
i understand that helping them on a large scale is probably impossible.
but, all we can do day after day is,
thank god , our parents and our friends.
also, pray for their frail little souls.
for every few seconds, a child dies of malnutrition or a dreadful disease.
life is beautiful for some,
life is beautiful for us
life is isn't beautiful for them,
maybe life can be beautiful again
for them.

i was really touched by this video and the meaning behind it.
it really helps us to think twice before we complain to our parents
how "unfortunate and poor" we are.
anyways today went to school. as usual.
lessons were horrible. felt sick. cough,flu,headache.
ugh. then had other lessons which were DAMN boring.
oh well. on the bright side .. tomorrow's wednesday a.k.a slacking day.

little ones,
each night, i promise
i'll say a little prayer for you.
