Losing My Way

I've encountered many situations where i felt that my life relates to a story in a book, a song on the radio, a tv program or movie. Im sure many people have been in my shoes before. So one of this many situations was when my friend Raehan introduced me to this song "losing my way" by the ever so popular Justin Timberlake..rae pretty much intro-ed me to a lot of other songs..and i enjoyed all of it.( rae got good taste in music)..So before i actually listened to the song, rae told me to listen to the lyrics..Most people just listen to the song for the music or because of the artist..but the true beauty of the song lies in its lyrics..(exceptional for Eminem songs, Akon's bad version of i wanna love you, the list goes on)..heheheh...

So after listening to the song,i realised that it could relate to the situation i was in. In Justin's word i was 'losing my way' , well not sure whether many have heard this song, its a real nice song (go dwnld it)..well below is the lyrics to the song. Hope other people can relate to it just like me,


Hey excuse me
Hi my name is Bob and I work at my job
I make forty-some dollars a day
I used to be the man in my hometown
'til I started to lose my way
It all goes back to when I dropped out at school
Having fun, I was living the life
But now I got a problem with that little white rock
See I can put down the pipe

And...

And it's breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While my dreams fall down
Is anybody out there?

It is breaking me down
No more friend around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?

Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?
'Cause I can't seem to see myself...
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
(chorus)

Losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?
Losing my way
Keep losing my way
Keep losing my way...
Can you help me find my way?

Now you gotta understand I was a family man
I would have gave anything for my own
But I couldn't get a grip on my new found itch
So I ended up all alone
I remember where I was when I got my first buzz
See I thought I was living the life
And the craziest thing is I'll probably never know the color of my daughter'seyes

And it is breaking me down
Watching the world spin round
While me dreams fall downIs anybody out there?

It is breaking me down
No more friend around...
And my dreams fall down...
Is anybody out there?

Can anybody out there hear me?'
Cause I can't seem to hear mysel
fCan anybody out there see me?'
Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell?C
an anybody out there feel me?'
Cause I can't seem to feel myself.

(chorus)
Oh my god please forgive me (father hear my pray)'

Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life
If I could do it all again
Have just one more chance
To take all those wrongs and make them right

Can anybody out there hear me?
'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me?'
Cause I can't seem to see myself
There's gotta be a heaven somewhere
Can you save me from this hell
Can anybody out there feel me?
'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.

(Repeat above)

(Chorus)

The true loss you can actually go through would to be losing the confidence in knowing that whatever the situation is, there is always someone who would shine the light and ask you to walk down the road not to assist you but juz to let you know that whatevers happening, the person is still a strong believer in your confidence and actions..this reminds me of something i thought bout..

There are times when the day is cloudy and dark, and storms and rain passes through, the sun may be blocked by the clouds and the trees maybe starved of light for a while but it doesnt mean the sun isnt there anymore because the sun never stops being with the earth & the sun never stops shining its light to the trees..it only requires them to go through some darker days and some rainy days..and keep on standing knowing that the sun will return..eventually.
