Mark Isham ft Gigi Worth ~ Love is where you are

Omdat ik zo'n goed lief heb....

I used to walk between the shadows

Lost in a world that moved too fast

I was afraid I'd always be alone

Then I saw your face at last

I found my way even in the dark

Though at times it seemed too far

I knew if I'd listen to my heart

I'd find that love is where you are

I close my eyes and see tomorrow

My dreams begin and end with you

I hear you say you'll be there

Always be there

I must believe it's true

I found my way even in the dark

Though at times it seemed too far

I knew if I'd listen to my heart

I'd find that love is where you are

Love is where you are

And anywhere you are

Is where I want to be

No matter what may happen

No matter where I go

Your arms are home to me

I found my way even in the dark

Though at times it seemed too far

Somehow I knew even at first sight

That love is anywhere you are

Love is where you are

Love is where you are

Jasper Steverlinck ~ Miss you

Still in my heart after all these years
Separated by time, now by distance
I couldn't allow myself to feel 
The loss that I feel right now
As I put this song down

You're far away and happy I know
It's a little bit late... twenty years or so
It's a little bit cold for all those concerned
But I'd sell my soul and your souls for a song
So I'll pour my heart out

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
And I wanted you to know
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I'm sorry but I do

I want to thank you for the good years
And apologize for the rough ones
You must be laughing yourself sick
Up there and I know
But I wanted to write you one before I quit
And this one's it

I miss you
I miss you
And I wanted you to know
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
And I still love you so. 

And I 
And I 
Still love you so
And I 
I wanted you to know
And I
Still love you so ... so
And I wanted you know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
That I 
That I 
Still love you so ... so
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
That I still love you so
That I still love you so

Because of you....

Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far 

Because of you
I will never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid 

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with 

Because of you
I will never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid 

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I will never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid 

Because of you
Because of you

De man in de arena

Het is niet de criticus die telt; niet degene die ons 

erop wijst waarom de sterke man struikelt, of wat
de man van de daad beter had kunnen doen.

De eer komt toe aan de man die daadwerkelijk in
de arena staat, zijn gezicht besmeurd met stof,
zweet en bloed; die zich kranig weert; die fouten
maakt en keer op keer tekortschiet, omdat dat
nu eenmaal onvermijdelijk is; 

Die desondanks toch probeert iets te bereiken;
die groot enthousiasme en grote toewijding kent;
die zich helemaal geeft voor de goede zaak; 

Die, als het meezit, uiteindelijk de triomf van
een grootse verrichting proeft, en die, als het
tegenzit en als hij faalt, in elk geval grote moed
heeft getoond…

Theodore Roosevelt / Toespraak 23 april 1910 Sorbonne - Parijs

Wanhoop (2)

Wanhoop. Dat hele grote, dat je naar adem laat snakken, je onderduwt en je uit je lood slaat.  Je valt en even -heel even- weet je niet meer waar je bent, vanwaar je komt en waar je heen gaat.

Dat hele grote. 

Wanhoop

Als woorden tekort schieten, de keel dicht zit en je dreigt te verdrinken, dan helpen beelden...
