Sum 41 - Best Of Me lyrics


It's so hard to say that
I'm sorry
I'll make everything alright

All these things that I've done
Now what have I become, and where'd I go wrong?
I don't need to -- just to put you first
I won't tell you lies
I will stand accused
With my hand on my heart
I'm just trying to say

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

I know that I can't take back all of the mistakes
But I will try
Although it's not easy
I know you believe me
Cause I would not lie
Don't believe their lies
Told from jealous eyes
They don't understand
I won't break your heart
I won't bring you down
But I will have to say

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

teachers day rehearsal once again


HEY EVERYONE....
just came back from school thanks to the rehearsal for Teachers day tomorow....i guess it going to be an exciting one...i'm finally wireless well.... today was kinda busy because we had to wait for our turn to rehearse for almost close to 4 hours with ZI JIE, NATHANIEL, TREVOR and LATONIA....cause the rest were playing and we got bored.After all, we had loads of fun with Nathaniel with his funny things and with the teachers too like MR REN and MS HIA and MR LIEW...
They were singing and i was surprised they could sing and i won't go further on and let you readers figure it out tomorow cause SUSPENSE is the key...

After a while i felt bored so i started reading the book called FAITH by Rev. Dr. Phil Pringle
The book was full of empowerment of FAITH and it made me assured that i kept the faith and have won the race. You people should read it cause it has loads of encouragement in it and it expresses the feelings of many and how FAITH helps to overcome each and every circumstances....'


well i'm tired now so i shall go and catch a nice hot bath and sleep in it making BEET ROOT JUICE!!!! See ya for now... i shall place some videos here to show you how today was like!


Ms Hia, Mr Ren and Mr liew trying to sing...they kinda sound nice...

Day with YI FENG

Just recruited Yi Feng into my band REVOLUTIONARY GENERATIONZ...
today we were practicing for our audition for teachers day for we had prepared an inappropriate song last tuesday....
WE started practicing and we suddenly went mad singing in chipmunk voice and he videod me singing it and i hope it ain't gonna be placed up on the web...

Well, it was fun spending time with him fellowshipping with him too....we were filled with music in our minds and i loved his guitar...the tone was super duper clear and i liked it but the action was quite high so needed more energy to press and sing...

Finally the songs aren't so high that i can't reach and i am thankful for it...my voice is draining out and i hope it would return as i can't stand my voice to be so croacky(if theres such a word) and soar.
Tomoro is debate and i haven't prepared my speech for the motion. I guess its gonna be impromtu once again

See ya guys,
LOVE GOD....

PART 3 of LIFE IN 3B

PART 3 of LIFE IN 3B

Stars

Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same

I've been thinkin' maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast and maybe
All my luck's washed down the drain

I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Stars looking at our planet,
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe startin' to wonder
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane

I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond our own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home

I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so empty
But when I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Everyone, everyone you feel so lonely
Everyone, ya everyone you feel so empty
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
When I look at the stars, the stars
I see someone

I dare you to move

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Day around Singapore in 3 hours

Hey people,

today was kinda fun because we were having fun going around Singapore trying to complete different stations within 3 hours... Me and my group went to Singapore Poly first in which i felt it was a waste of time and marks because of the time spent there only for 10 marks and the time spent could be going to Changi Airport and completing a set of questions worth 50 points =D but in the end, we went to Velocity and Lavender where i felt it was quite interesting....
as in a whole, i kinda enjoyed myself with the buddies around like Nattarat, a guy to play around with especially when he wore the burger king hat, Nicholas and grace, for being the entertainers of the group and everyone too for organising the event such as WONG CHUN HEI.....
The shirt was a total off colour but it was quite comfortable hahaha.....

WE returned to school and watch performances like the cultural performances and fashion parade and they were fanstastic and it rounded off the day with my band jamming at Reuben place where we finally got our first song done up nicely....yipee and it was great fun with the band...


Still to come...

FESTIVAL OF PRAISE



Hey everyone,
great to be back after a long day serving at FOP!!!
Well, FOP was really empowering with Delirious and Don Moen where they lead the whole congregation in Praise and Worship where really i felt that we as a nation should gather the whole community of God's people to come together to pray for the nation too....

the whole event was really packed especially from the preaching of Rev. Dr. Phil Pringle who usually come to my church to preach but also, his message for the last few nights has been really a great and impacting one where he used Mary and Martha to illustrate the differences in Christians where some are always doing the work while others really do look forward in meeting Christ. well, the messages has really touched my heart and i know that we are called here to gather in his presence for a purpose in which we are to bring revival to our campuses and spread the gospel to the people, seeing them turn to Christ and follow the steps of Christ to impact and penetrate the marketplace.

Delirious was really rocking the whole youth and also the adults also when Don Moen led in his well known songs GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND GIVE THANKS!!!
I also had an up close with Delirious where they auto graphed my very own CD and book i bought from them and it was an honour to meet them. Got a chance to speak with STU G too and he was really funny!

well, i guess FOP was a great occasion for the whole community of Christians to gather and pray and see GOD moving in out nation, performing miracles and being touched by the presence of GOD!

COME!!!! BE RENEWED!!!!!

Well, this is all for now!!
BEET ROOT!!!




HISTORY MAKER

Is it true today... that when people pray
Cloudless skies will break; kings and queens will shake
Yes it's true... and I believe it!
I'm living for you! I’m living for you!

Is it true today... that when people pray
We'll see dead men rise... and the blind set free?
Yes, it's true... and I believe it!
I'm living for you! I’m living for you!

I'm gonna be... a history maker in this land.
I'm gonna be... a speaker of truth to all mankind.
I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna run
Into your arms, into your arms again.

Well, it's true today... that when people stand
With the fire of God... and the truth in hand
We'll see miracles, we'll see angels sing...
We'll see broken hearts... making history!
Yes it's true... and I believe it!
I'm living for you! I’m living for you!

Into your arms, into Your arms again!
Into your arms, into Your arms again!
Into your arms, into Your arms!

I’m gonna run into Your arms,
I’m gonna run into Your arms.

PAINT THE TOWN RED



OH… HERE WE COME
HERE WE COME, HERE WE COME

YOU KNOW I FEEL THERE’S SOMETHING BOUT TO BREAK NOW
YOU KNOW I FEEL THERE’S A CITY HERE TO TAKE NOW
AND IT’S NOT SO TOUGH FOR THESE ORDINARY HANDS
WHEN WE TRUST SOMEONE WITH EXTRAORDINARY PLANS

YOU KNOW I FEEL THIS HEARTS ABOUT TO BREAK NOW
COS I CAN SEE WHAT THE DEVIL’S TRYING TO TAKE NOW
WE’VE GOT THIS LEATHER BACKED BOOK AND A FREEDOM CRY
AND WE’RE AN ARMY OF GOD WHO ARE READY TO DIE

YOU GIVE US HOPE WHERE HOPE IS GONE
YOU FILL THE STREETS WITH A HOLY SONG
WE’RE GONNA PAINT THIS BIG OLD TOWN RED

YOU KNOW I FEEL THIS SKY’S ABOUT TO BREAK NOW
YOU KNOW I FEEL OUR CITY’S GONNA SHAKE NOW
AND WE HEAR YOU CALL EVERY WOMAN EVERY MAN
“RING THE MISSION BELL” AND STORM THE GATES OF HELL

MIRACLES RUN FROM STREET TO STREET
RISE UP CHURCH FOR A HOLY MEET
WE’RE GONNA PAINT THIS BIG OLD TOWN RED
WE’RE GONNA PAINT THIS BIG OLD TOWN RED
WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS

SOLID ROCK

THERE'S A ROCK THAT DOESN'T MOVE
IT HASN'T MOVED, IT WILL NEVER MOVE
EVEN THOUGH THE WAVES COME CRASHING DOWN
THERE'S A TOWER ON A HILL, IT'S ALWAYS STRONG
IT WILL NEVER SHAKE
IT WAS STANDING THERE BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN
THERE'S A WAVE THAT'S COMING IN
WASHING OVER THIS TOWN
IT WILL MAKE OR BREAK US, RE-INVENT US
IT'S TIME TO LAY ME DOWN

ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK WE WILL STAND
ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND
ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK WE WILL STAND
WE'LL CLIMB ON YOUR BACK
TAKE US TO HIGHER GROUND

THERE'S A SONG THAT DOESN'T FADE
IT NEVER FADES IT WAS CUSTOM MADE
TO RAISE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THIS EARTH
THERE'S A SOUND THAT'S COMING IN
RUSHING OVER THIS TOWN
IT WILL MAKE OR BREAK US, RE-INVENT US
IT'S TIME TO LAY ME DOWN

MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS
THAN JESUS BLOOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
I DARE NOT TRUST THE SWEETEST FRAME
BUT WHOLLY LEAN ON JESUS NAME
WHEN DARKNESS SEEmS TO VEIL HIS FACE
I REST ON HIS UNCHANGING GRACE
IN EVERY HIGH AND STORMY GALE
MY ANCHOR HOLDS WITHIN THE VEIL
HIS OATH HIS COVENANT AND BLOOD
SUPPORT ME IN THE ‘WHELMING FLOOD
WHEN ALL AROUND MY SOUL GIVES WAY
HE THEN IS ALL MY HOPE AND STAY
WHEN THE LAST TRUMPETS VOICE SHALL SOUND
O THEN I MAY IN HIM BE FOUND
CLOTHED IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE
FAULTLESS TO STAND BEFORE HIS THRONE

The day of 16 hours spent in SCHOOL!!!!

Last Friday was one of my most enjoyable days where we had founders day and thanksgiving services from day to night.
It started off with the founders day service for the lower and upper sec in which i stayed back stage to watch the band play and also get annoyed by Jim...alot..... then i jammed with the band consisting of Zi jie, Jim, Caleb and Lilin where we got stopped by the pianoman tuner where we had to leave for lunch with Ms Tan at Swensons and we got a treat from her. It was great having a time of fellowship where once again i got teased and Jim too, got teased most by us cause he kep ordering the weird flavours for the EARTHQUAKE!!!

Then we went back to school for the rehearsal for the thanksgiving session during the night for the EX-fairsians and really we were very tired so we kinda slept off and everyone was lying on the floor at back stage till the session started. Exactly at 7.30, we were had to be in our position where we stood for almost 15 minutes before we played the songs. Standing beside Jim was like standing beside a jet thanks to his wonderful 350Watt amp which blew me off due to the high gained vibration. Then Ms Lim came up with her speech and after a while, the most memorable thing that would be in my mind is that there was a blackout due to a short circuit of the spotlight just directly above Jim's bass and sparks were dropping and instant a blackout occurred. It was kinda cool because you won't experience this in a school and it was fun too.....

Then at the end, we took many jump shots and acting cool stuff and that ended our day off.
Well, lastly i would like to thank the band members. Thank Zi jie for his drumming skills that made us jammed really well. Caleb for his marvelous Gibson les paul that made the sound and tone real QUALITY. Jim for his annoyance and Lilin for her piano skills that really sounded cool and nice.

Well, i will be back with more stories....
So see ya...

LIFE

Hey everyone,
Today was a great day for we had to rehearse for THANKSGIVING SERVICE this Friday with the band consisting of Caleb, Zi Jian, Jim and Lilin. Well, we kinda recorded the things we did but it turned out to be quite weird because there weren't much of a sound control thing to help to control the balance of sounds so there some parts each one of us were very loud...
but it turned out well....

Also, i managed to accomplish something that i always look forward to which was to serve during FOP and indeed, i have made it happen so i guess i will be busy this coming weekend...ANYONE WANNA COME FOR FESTIVAL OF PRAISE!!!!

hmmm....i have been listening to this song and i felt it has really spoke to me so i guess it will help you each time you feel down cause JESUS is our saviour king!!!!


SAVIOR KING


And now the weak say I have strength
By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
And now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is ? and I'm more blessed


Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king


We love you Lord, we worship you
You are our God, you alone are good

You asked your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin

I love you Lord, I worship you
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king


Let now your church shine as the bride
That you soar in your heart as you offered up your life
Let now the lost be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed those adopted as your own


I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king
