sometimes i just want to be normal,
normal life normal school normal day,
sometimes i just want to hop on Highway 6 and go home,
spend time with my dad and cook with my mom in the kitchen,
or go outside and play catch with my sister,
sometimes i just want to be normal,
go on dates like everyone else,
and marry the girl of my dream,
sometimes i just want to be normal,
normal like free,
jump into the pool or shout at the beach,
and be who i want to be,
sometimes i just want to be normal,
but then normal would imply being abnormal,
i guess life is not normal as it seems,
as the American dream that make sense to you and me,
like Switchfoot singing meant to live,
are we living as life is a gift,
or a burden that would better off not bear at all,
i guess i am not normal as it seems,
i'll fly home to greet my folk,
still spend time with my dad on the street back home,
cooking with my mom on the 15th floor,
overlook the city with my sister,
maybe there's where i belong,
maybe i don't belong anywhere,
this is my life,
a gift from God that is too great to deny,
to bring Him glory and honor and praise,
to live the way i was made,
as Chris Tomlin sings,
and the curtain rises,
we'll bloom tomorrow,
just like those roses.
letter from the journey of life, lost in the crowd of people, thoughts from the inner part of my heart, and innovations from the outer part of my brain .... hope it still make sense.

City lights and Dreamy nites ...
City lights and Dreamy nites,
how far can we go before we fall down on our face,
recognizing our own failures and weakness,
knowing that we can't have it all,
or have it at all,
what are you waiting for?
Playlist -
Coldplay - Til Kingdom Come, Fix you
U2 - Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Keane - Bend and Break

Cold Night
it's another cold night down in Texas,
sandwiched between the sunny days and rainy days,
just like the emotions,
loneliness was what i felt,
for hours after much of soul searching,
joyfulness and happiness is what i found,
for hours after endless hanging out with my favourite friends,
it seems like season comes and season goes,
what i can treasure most is now,
with friends that i love most,
these are the days,
these are the ways be lived,
like Kanye rappin',
nothing ever promise tomorrow,
except the sun will rise,
and the rain will fall on everyone,
and God's mercy is raining down on us,
again,
and again,
thus let's live it ...
to the fullest.
Daniel.

Get fixed
Fix You - Coldplay
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
when you love some one but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
