Corrine May

My latest acquisiton is a CD by Corrine May, "Safe in a crazy world".
The tunes of the songs tend to be similar, but I like the lyrics very much.

I try to smile my tears away
I try to keep my cool
Oh but one more door gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter
My heart just wants to bleed and stop
Believing in me

It feels like nothing is for certain
and that nothing comes for free
When they're lowering the curtain
to the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and I crumble and I'm
Sinking to my knees but you
You cradle me

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
to believe in me again

Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it's
On a TV show
When it's hard to tell what's real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world

'cause when I'm wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
to believe in me again

Needless to say, the one who embraces my fragility is God, who accepts me for who I am. And I am thankful for that. It is when someone believes in you, that u can believe in urself. No matter how down trodden or how many times we have failed, God always believes in us.

I also like this other song called Free in the album.

It's still the same old story
This great divide
Between the want and waste
And all the hunger inside
I heard the news today
Now I'm trying to find my place
I'm just a single voice
What can I do to erase
All this misunderstanding
All this anarchy
Six degrees of separation
Sometimes it's so hard to see
That we are not alone in this
I need to believe

I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains

The hungry and homeless ple..I am only ONE. How can I help these people? But as the lyrics say, I need to believe tat I am not alone in this. I feel tat the lyrics are like prayers to God. As I was listening, I felt this heartfelt plea to God to save the poor, the hungry, the destitute.

And in all these things, we all try to find our place.
I can't help struggle within me the disparity betw my passion/dream and my current occupation. I can only say tat this is a waiting and moulding time, to learn, so tat I can eventually step out into my true passion. And actually, i am not interested in the prices of stocks, and how investments perform, Not as much anyway as seeing people's lives change, and helping to solve hunger problems.

As the lyrics say, I am only a single voice, what can I do right?
I just wanna do wat I can! And I know tat He will anoint me. Tat He give me the power to heal. =)
