• and i won't cry for yesterday.

  Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
  thought I heard you talking softly
  I turned on the lights the TV and the radio
  but still I can't escape the ghost of you
  
  What is happening to me crazy some would say
  Where is the life that I recognize, gone away
  
  And I won't cry for yesterday
  there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
  And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
  I will learn to survive
  
  Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
  pride will tear us both apart
  Well now pride's gone out the window
  cross the rooftops, runaway
  Left me in the vacuum of my heart
  
  What is happening to me crazy some will say
  where is my friend when I need you most gone away
  
  But I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
  And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
  I will learn to survive
  
  Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and grief
  Fear today forgot tomorrow beside the news of holy war and holy need
  Our's is just a little sorrowed talk, just blown away
  
  And I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find
  And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive
  Every world is my world (I will learn to survive)
  Any world is my world (I will learn to survive)
  Any world is my world, every world is our world, every world

  -- Red, "Ordinary World"

   

  yes, this is originally a Duran Duran song.
  listen to it like this. totally different.

  today is a day for miracles.
  for open-heart surgery with hands we can't see.
  for cataclysmic changes that we don't understand.
  for love that heals while we can't comprehend.
  
  ♥
  
  such bold words can only be spoken and meant by the pure of heart.
  i will be, i will be.
  for there is no other.
