This song reminds me of the Initiator of change in my life. So here, I title this post The Initiator.
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
Being a 12th grader is no small thing. Add to it the various number of things I have to keep hidden, including you, it becomes a burden. Not the keeping silent part. I am actually good at it and also I am one badass liar. I can look you in the eye and not falter. Being a strong person, if I may say that for myself, I don’t find it hard to subdue the turmoil, also I don’t need to vent immediately. The downside is that anger rests on my nose(direct translation of a hindi phrase, might be awkward. I don’t like sharing much about me, I see my friends tell every little detail of their lives to each other and I just sit like a deaf and dumb person. I do like to talk, though, important things, nothings, your dreams, my dreams, and seek escape in that land. Just sitting on a doorstep with you silently is the best conversation. And after that, though my troubles won’t disappear, I surely acquire enough strength from you.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
Mountain climbing? Sea faring? You can’t give me an actual challenge, can you? Because from where I see things, it seems cake walk. You, so mighty, so tall, so fair. Resting on your shoulders I have the top view of the world. It feels like I can rearrange every miniature detail about this land. This is more than I could imagine accomplishing by myself. But probably saying that is not right either. It’s the initiators work you did. And the rest of it, I shall carry it on, myself, because you have made me able enough.
For where I am, I thank you. From up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. Erm, oh well I am a kid.
