Safe in a Crazy World

On the last day of school, I played a short powerpoint slideshow to my form class. It was from a book of pictures on animals which I so "shamelessly" ripped. The book known as the "Blue Day Book" never failed to bring a smile on my face when I am feeling down and need just the motivation to move on with life. Amidst the many things that sometimes just preoccupy or frustrate me.

I just love this song by corrine may which I played as the background music for the slides. It was not very loud as the speakers in the classroom didn't do justice to such a meaningful and lovely song, so I decided to show the lyrics here.

S A F E I N A C R A Z Y W O R L D
Written by Corrinne May Ying Foo

I try to smile my tears away
I try to keep my cool
Oh but one more door gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter
My heart just wants to bleed and stop
Believing in me

It feels like nothing is for certain and that nothing comes for free
When they're lowering the curtain
to the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and I crumble and I'm
Sinking to my knees but you
You cradle me

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms
I find the strength to believe in me again

Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it's
On a TV show
When it's hard to tell what's real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
'cause when I'm wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms
I find the strength to believe in me again

I hate myself for being so emotional.....
