LW’s Word: (May 05 2007)
Thanks so much for visiting my blog and leaving all these wonderful comments on Carrie’s “I’ll Stand By You”.
Every time I watch this video, it brings tears to my eyes. I’m so touched by the joy and laughter they brought to those kids. Most of all, it once again shows just how lucky I am – I have the freedom to chose where to live, what to do and the kind of person I want to be. Yes, we each have our own hardships and/or issues that we are struggling with, but they are really nothing compares to what those people have to face just to survive. They lack the basic physiological needs that we so often take for granted.
While you are enjoying the song and this wonderful MV, remember its intention – You can help.
Let’s try our best to help those in need. Also, be grateful for what we have in our lives.

Lyrics
Oh, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes. Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry. Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you, you don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you, I’ll stand by you
I won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So, if you’re mad, get mad
Don’t hold it all inside. Come on and talk to me now
And hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too
But I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the crossroads, and don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along, cause even if you’re wrong
I’ll stand by you, I’ll stand by you
I won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour, and I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you baby, you’re feeling all alone
You won’t be on your own
I’ll stand by you, I’ll stand by you
I won’t let nobody hurt you. I’ll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour and I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
Oh, I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
James Blunt – Goodbye My Lover (Live)
Artist: James Blunt
Album: Back To Bedlam (2005)
Song: Goodbye My Lover
Lyrics
Did I disappoint you or let you down
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won
So I took what’s mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it won’t stop there
I am here for you if you’d only care
You touched my heart you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you
I’ve kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I’ve been addicted to you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I am a dreamer but when I wake
You can’t break my spirit – it’s my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me
Remember us and all we used to be
I’ve seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile
I’ve watched you sleeping for a while
I’d be the father of your child
I’d spend a lifetime with you
I know your fears and you know mine
We’ve had our doubts but now we’re fine
And I love you, I swear that’s true
I cannot live without you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
And I still hold your hand in mine
In mine, when I’m asleep
And I will bear my soul in time
When I’m kneeling at your feet
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow

The Thorn Birds – Anywhere The Heart Goes
Lyrics
You know I will follow
Anywhere the heart goes
I will go until I know
All life can be
Love can hurt when you go
Anywhere the heart goes
Don’t you know it isn’t easy
Being me
I hold you inside where my love never dies
And you will always live somewhere in me
If you want to follow
Anywhere the heart goes
I will be here when you want me
Any way you want me
And good years bad years
Would all fall away
If I knew that your heart
Would follow my heart
Someday
The Thorn Birds (Part One)
LW’s Words:
I first watched this movie when I was 12 and have watched it countless times since then… Every time I watch it, I get different lessons/messages out of it; but one thing remains the same – it brings me to tears every single time.
It’s a story about love – unattainable love, forbidden love, but also the kind of love that last forever ~
It’s a story about being human – our emotions, struggles, conflicts, desires, strengths & weaknesses ~
And, it’s a story about the life – faith, the choices we make, and the journey, through time, to find peace ~
Here is one message that binds everything together – “For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain”…
The mini-series was adapted from The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough.

Dialogues from the movie:
Archbishop: When your rose fell to the ground, I understood at last, the sadness you always wear like a holy mantle.
Ralph de Bricassart: Oh Vittorio, I have tried so hard to get her out of my heart.
Archbishop: You think I don’t know that?
Ralph de Bricassart: Then why?
Archbishop: Ralph, our God has given us freewill. And with that freewill comes the burden of choice. It is time, far past time that you took up that burden, because until you do, you cannot go on.

Quote from the book:
Long ago, there was a bird to sang just once in its life.
From the moment it left its nest, it searched for a thorn tree.
And it never rested until it found one.
Then it began to sing more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth.
And singing, it impaled its breast on the longest, sharpest thorn.
But as it was dying, it rose above its own agony
to out-sing the lark and the nightingale.
The thornbird pays its life for that one song
and the whole world stills to listen
and God, in His heaven ~ smiles.
As its best was bought only at the cost of great pain.
Driven to the thorn, with no knowledge of the dying to come.
But when we press the thorn to our breast,
We know……
We understand……
And still…… we do it.
Mariah Carey – Love Takes Time (Live)
Artist: Mariah Carey
Album: Mariah Carey (1990)
Song: Love Takes Time
Lyrics
I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn’t say I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you’re gone
Love takes time
To heal when you’re hurting so much
Couldn’t see that I was blind
To let you go
I can’t escape the pain inside
‘Cause love takes time
I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna be here alone
Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I’m so incomplete
Lord I’m needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly
Love takes time
To heal when you’re hurting so much
Couldn’t see that I was blind
To let you go
I can’t escape the pain inside
‘Cause love takes time
I don’t wanna be here
I don’t wanna be here alone
You might say that it’s over
You might say that you don’t care
You might say you don’t miss me
You don’t need me
But I know that you do and I feel that you do
Inside
Love takes time
To heal when you’re hurting so much
Couldn’t see that I was so blind
To let you go
I can’t escape the pain inside
‘Cause love takes time
I don’t wanna be there
I don’t wanna be there alone
