little child, be not afraid

VIENNA TENG
Lullaby For a Stormy Night
words and music by Vienna Teng

little child, be not afraid.
though rain pounds harshly against the glass
like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger
I am here tonight

little child, be not afraid
though thunder explodes and lightning flash
illuminates your tear-stained face
I am here tonight

and someday you'll know
that nature is so
the same rain that draws you near me
falls on rivers and land
on forests and sand
makes the beautiful world that you'll see
in the morning

little child, be not afraid
though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight

little child, be not afraid
though wind makes creatures of our trees
and their branches to hands, they're not real, understand
and I am here tonight

for you know, once even I was a
little child, and I was afraid
but a gentle someone always came
to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
and to give a kiss goodnight

well now I am grown
and these years have shown
that rain's a part of how life goes
but it's dark and it's late
so I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close

and I hope that you'll know...

everything's fine in the morning
the rain'll be gone in the morning
but I'll still be here in the morning

i always think of genia when i hear this song. ;)

just a few days ago i was telling cheng that things needn't always be awkward around people that you've loved before and is now past. 'open up your heart!' i told him. but i think ill take back my words. it really isnt easy, and sometimes we're just not ready to face each other, in the context of a new relationship. at least i know for sure thats the case for me and kiat. i thought i was ready, i thought i was cool with just being friends, but im not, and im not going to try anymore. because i think its really time i move on, get over him; so i dont hate myself for not being able to be the person i should be in this new relationship, so i dont try to pretend that im happy with the way things are. ;) i might just be happier not having to worry about all these!

well im just really glad i got to spend my last few days with the people i really love ;) going out and shopping and having dimsum and going out and shopping and having macs haha. sorry mummy and daddy that i kinda burnt a hole in my pocket but hey its the mid seasons sale and things were really going for really low prices. got myself a new pair of boots (frm primark though but hey its really pretty and decent( okay i dont know bout the child labour thg okay tan en so ill just pretend i erm dont know :D) ) and lots of other stuff as well. maybe ill start dressing up for sch. these days i just wake up half an hour before sch starts, bathe, check email, pile on ugly clothes and head out in ugly grumpy face. lets hope new pretty clothes will make me happyyy
;)
