just thinking...

lemme 1st give props to Unkymoods. i didn't wanna join the bandwagon, but they were so cute i couldn't resist. and i actually decided to speak up and request a mood! go me! cuz there's a mood i've been feeling, and i'm sure a lot of people have been feelin it...reminiscent. nostalgic. :) so the closest i can get at this time was dreamy. so anyways...

i forgot for what occasion, but i asked christine to get me Into the Woods video, a musical. We saw it at marlon's house on pbs, and i just fell in love with it. to make a long story short, it's about a whole bunch of children's tales intertwined into one whole story. and it's a lil more adult. so yeah! i've watched this tape like 3 million times...and it's starting to go south. i need the dvd. hehe. yeah so anyways, there's this one song, No One is Alone, that reminds me alot of my (as well as my sisters') situation. it has a nice message...it's sung by cinderella, the baker, lil red riding hood and jack (beanstalk boy).

Mother cannot guide you.
Now you're on your own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not alone.
No one is alone. Truly.
No one is alone.
Sometimes people leave you.
Halfway through the wood.
Others may deceive you.
You decide what's good.
You decide alone.
But no one is alone.

Mother isn't here now
Wrong things, right things
Who knows what she'd say?
Who can say what's true?
Nothings quite so clear now.
Do things, fight things,
Feel you've lost your way?
You decide, but
You are not alone, Believe me,
No one is alone
No one is alone. Believe me.

You move just a finger,
Say the slightest word,
Somethings bound to linger
Be heard
No acts alone. Careful.
No one is alone.

People make mistakes.
Fathers,
Mothers,
People make mistakes,
Holding to their own,
Thinking their alone.
Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
Fight for their mistakes
One another's terrible mistakes.
Witches can be right, Giants can be good.
You decide what's right you decide what's good
Just remember:Just remember:
Someone is on your side, Our side
Our side--
Someone else is not
While we're seeing our side, Our side...
Our side--
Maybe we forgot: they are not alone.
No one is alone.
Hard to see the light now.
Just don't let it go
Things will come out right now.
We can make it so.
Someone is on your side...

2 eh!
