Just came across this beautiful song. Some time back this series of performances were held all across US and UK to be like of a fundraiser and the money gathered from all these performances will be used for helping the earthquake victims of Haiti.
Life is very uncertain. There are things that in our hands and then there also things that are not in out hands. Natural calamities are one of them. We are always bogged down by the dynamic human behaviors and seldom do we have time to devote to pray to God and thank him for the perfect things, and when we forget to thank him, he has his own ways to remind us that we have to worship him. I am not a good believer in God, but I am somehow amazed, surprised and shocked at some of the co-incidences that I have come across in my life. And when his wrath is showed upon us, there is no escape rather than just give up and then help others.
The marks of these natural calamities will stay forever, but we have to live with that. Things will not change and we even know that it will happen again also, and still we will not be able to handle the next such instance. But to those who survived this natural war, the post-war pain is too much. Everyday will remind them of how this day could have been different would they not have lost their loved ones in the recent years. Un-natural deaths are much unprecedented and they shake everyone related to them. Every year, every event, life without your loved ones is very different. This is the time when others have to show their care and love to the ones who have not been so lucky like them.
Breathless - Hope For Haiti
Taylor
Swift
Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought you d want to know
That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless
At the end of the performance, there was not even a single clap from the audience. Maybe because the audience was much too understanding that they were not there to praise Swift's song but to make that show a success so that more and more money could be raised. But no doubt the song was wonderful and each and every expression of Taylor in the video with words of the song, make such a sense that you are bound to say "Oh my god".
Natural disasters like this realize us of our limitation as human beings and to remind us that we are not God. We have to go through painful moments and these phases in our lives make us more human and make us more strong. Human brain is set to forget things pretty fast, so the effects of this earthquake will be forgotten in a couple of months or year. What will continue to exist is our ability to live through these events. Those who did not survive this disaster, died may their soul rest in peace, and those who survived, will have to die everyday in remembrance of their loved one who could not make it through.
