I will be here

The first time I heard this song by Steven Curtis Chapman, was in a wedding express highlights of a good friend - the Wah blogger. That time, I did not know who was the singer, just that I liked the song very much and the title has to be 'I will be here', because it was repeated so many times in the song. I just find this song so touching and meaningful.

In the end, after several searches on the internet, I managed to find out who's the artiste behind the song and searched for his album high and low. Finally, I found it in HMV. So crazy I was over that one single that I bought two albums, one with the original version and the other with an updated version of the song. Furthermore, I remembered it was quite expensive as both albums were imported.

I must say I absoluted loved the updated version. I quote Marybeth Chapman (wife of Steven Curtis Chapman) on her feelings towards the updated version:

"A very special song played for me
for the first time on Mother's Day many years ago. I cried many tears listening
over and over again to this incredible oath of commitment. Born out of the
painful divorce of Steven's parents, "I will be here" is a pledge of Steven's
unwavering commitment to our marriage. I didnt think this song could be updated,
you don't mess with a classic! I was wrong! This version is unbelievable. I love
everything about it......"

And here's the lyrics to the song:

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I, I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
Cause I, I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen and i will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
Cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I, I will be here
As sure as seasons were made for change
our lifetimes were made for these years
So I, I will be here
I will here
So you can cry on my shoulder
when the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you mean to me
I will be here
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the one
Who gave you to me

Just as sure as seasons were made for change
our lifetimes were made for these years
so I, I will be here
We'll be together
Cause I will be here
I will be here

A lazy gal's wish to switch off her mind when faced with complicated instructions and situations and for a slower pace in life! Generally in a good mood unless provoked!

I am The Emperor

The Emperor represents structure, order and regulation - forces to balance the free-flowing, lavish abundance of the Empress. He advocates a four-square world where trains are on time, games are played by rules, and commanding officers are respected. In chaotic situations, the Emperor can indicate the need for organization. Loose ends should be tied up, and wayward elements, harnessed. In situations that are already over-controlled, he suggests the confining effect of those constraints.
