“girl on fire”

She’s just a girl, and she’s on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She’s living in a world, and it’s on fire
Feeling the catastrophe
But she knows she can fly away

Oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she’s burning it down
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she’s not backing down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She’s walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she’s a flame
So bright she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you’ll never forget her name
She’s on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say

Oh, we got our feet on the ground
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
And we’re burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we’re not coming down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She’s walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Everybody stands, as she goes by
Cause they can see the flame that’s in her eyes
Watch her when she’s lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she’s a lonely girl
And it’s a lonely world
But she gonna let it burn baby, burn baby

This girl is on fire (fire, fire)
This girl is on fire (fire)
She’s walking on fire (fire, fire)
This girl is on fire (fire)

Oh, oh, oh…

She’s just a girl, and she’s on fire

reviewing my old youtube account and came across this.
still cannot believe how awesome this is, even after 5 years.

盛噶仁波切 (Singa Rinpoche)
“我要你幸福” (“I Want You to be Happy”) 

genuine wish from the heart, always feel-good.
delivered in an unconventional way by a lama.

一夜難枕　心還翻騰
天就要亮了
最牽掛的人　已離開了
笑容　卻怎麼還留著
記憶收好　帶走煩惱
想念的味道
打開心呀　重新擁抱
久違天晴的清早

我要你幸福
愛義無反顧
有勇氣就不怕心荒蕪
在每個轉彎後就有坦途

我要你幸福
愛不必停駐
寂寞偶爾會
在心口擺渡
我還能在懷念裡找到　滿足

可能是我　給得太少
才讓你哭了　如果愛能讓淚變微笑
我會　試著做得更好
思念變成　一種煎熬
就算沒解藥
只要知道　你過得好
什麼都不再重要

我要你幸福
愛義無反顧
有勇氣就不怕心荒蕪
在每個轉彎後就有坦途

我要你幸福
愛不必停駐
寂寞偶爾會
在心口擺渡
我還能在懷念裡找到　滿足

寂寞偶爾會
在心口擺渡
我還能在懷念裡找到　滿足

“it will rain”

powerful, emotional ballad about heartbreak.

If you ever leave me baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
‘Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don’t have it anymore.

There’s no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I’m makin’
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin’ out the door.

Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain…

I’ll never be your mother’s favorite
Your daddy can’t even look me in the eye
Oooh if I was in their shoes, I’d be doing the same thing
Sayin there goes my little girl
Walkin’ with that troublesome guy

But they’re just afraid of something they can’t understand
Oooh well little darlin’ watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make you mine

Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain…

Don’t just say, goodbye
Don’t just say, goodbye
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make it right

Cause there’ll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain…
