1/ You Raise Me Up - Celtic Woman
a/ Lyrics
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be. There is no life - no life without its hunger; Each restless heart beats so imperfectly; But when you come and I am filled with wonder, Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be.

Many times, I feel like I cannot enjoy my life anymore. It is suddenly very boring and troublesome. However, when my mom told me that I havent go through everything yet and pulled out of the rubble that is my mind, I know for a fact that I have an assortment of great friends and mentors, whereas many people have none. You raise me up so I can stand on mountains, they all had raised me up so that I can have a better life so one day, I can be a person standing on a mountain and smiling with success!

I recall the times when I am a small child with a blurry concept about life. I thought that humanity is something too ordinary. Those times, Id think of Harry Potter and the amazing spells that he can
do and I wish that one day, Hagrid will come to my house and pick me up. Although now I am much more realistic and realized how dumb it was to believe in magic, a flowing imagination is sometimes, relaxing, and at times, vital.
But the hills that we climbed were Just seasons out of time We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the Seasons have all gone We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the
Seasons have all gone We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the Seasons have all gone

Personally, I extremely despise all farewells because they are very depressing and almost always tearful. However, farewells plant the firmest memories in me. Especially, I really dont want to experience the feeling of saying goodbye to my besties when we move on to different schools! Learned of love and ABCs! I can recall the last day of school in grade 1, it was so tearful, we all cried a lot, we learn our ABCs together and now we have to leave each other! These memories are so precious to me!
Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're startin' to sing's So fine. When they get to the part Where he's breakin' her heart It can really make me cry Just like before It's yesterday once more. Lookin' back on how it was In years gone by And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad So much has changed.
It was songs of love that I would sing to then And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies Still sound so good to me As they melt the years away. Every sha-la-la-la Every wo-o-wo-o Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're startin' to sing's So fine. All my best memories Come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry. Just like before It's yesterday once more.

There are times when I have nothing to do and I just sit and stare into the sky. Suddenly, beautiful collections of memories just fly into my head. I even laughed to myself when I recall those memories. I can remember how I used to hit my brother so hard to amuse myself! Even though, it sounds very silly of me but I am always happy to recall and reveal my own childishness. Those were such happy times and not so long ago How I wonder where they gone, I am very keen to find these memories back to me as it is lost somewhere I dont know because lots of the memories are forgotten!

When I finished my elementary history course about Vietnam, I was really proud that I was born and I grow up in this country. It only feels right to be intrinsically drawn to the cultural aspects of my
land: the wooden sampans, the floating markets. The song simply shows a yearning that a girl, who moved from her country as a baby, shelters for her motherland. Wherever I go, I will always remember that my origin is Vietnam, and that I am Vietnamese.

I will always love you, a sentence that we always say to our family! I feel that I have a really close link to this song and I guess lots of other people too. Even though, the song may be dedicated
to the one you love as your life mate but the main sentence is I will always love you and I think it does not need to be my mate, and I want to dedicate this beautiful sentence to my family! I can remember the time when my sister leave Vietnam to go to study in the U.S., I was so sad and at that moment, I just want to say that I will always love her and I will miss her a lot!
Look to the western sky! As someone told me lately: "Everyone deserves the chance to fly!" I'm defying gravity! And you won't bring me down! Bring me down! Bring me down!

I feel deeply connected with this song, because it hightlights the fact that I find myself very different from my friends. I spend my time musing on things that my peers would find absurd. The lyrics tell of a person who is sick of the normal rules and conventions that her society takes for granted, which she compares with gravity, the irresistable force that is impossible to overcome. I wish to rebel just for the fun of it. The song captures my essence: I want to break free from the gravity imposed on me, and soar like a bird.

If something ends up satisfactorily, I would be very happy and would reward myself with something. And of course, if it is about the scores, I would ask my parents for my reward, even though it only
would be something very small. Tell you this, I love to see a 4.00 on my report cards, because my parent would take me out all the time!

If my days are filled with worries, I do not think that I would enjoy my life very well. Hakuna Matata is a phrase that means There are no
worries. I can see from the song a slight connection to myself, I do not worry a lot, except if it is a problem about my studies. Recently, I had known that my turtle is dying but I am not worried because I understand that every living thing needs to die. I am sad, of course but I am not worried for it!

There are many times that I have to face a real problem. At these moments, I just want to give up and quit everything. I really have no idea how I would get out of all these troubles and keep going with my life but I know that I have to believe that I can get over this and keep on trying. When I my GPA. was 3.96 and the quarter is ending soon, I was so worried. At the moment, I think that every hope had been drained away from me, but no, I know that if I believe in myself, I can get myself out of the maze I had been trapped in and achieve a 4.00 like I wish to. I know that nothing is impossible and we would have to try to reach our goals. I just wanna believe in me, says Demi! And I say, she is right!

I do really care about my studies. However, I still look forward for the great time I can enjoy in my summer holiday break. On the last days of school, I, like any sane student, would count down until it is the end of school. In the summer, I have lots of fun. I wouldnt have to worry about arriving at school late or doing homeworks and projects. Mostly everyone loves their summer. They spend their summer doing many fun things! What time is it,
She needs a little fabulous is that so wrong? Sharpettes: Fabulous pool, fabulous splash, Fabulous parties even fabulous trash, Fabulous fashion, fabulous bling, She's got to have fabulous everything. Ryan and Sharpay: Nothing to Discuss Everything's got to be perfect. Sharpay: For me Ryan: She wants fabulous, That is her simple request, All things fabulous, Bigger and better and best, She needs something inspiring to help her get along, She needs a little fabulous is that so wrong?
Sharpay: This won't do, that's a bore, That's insulting, I need more! I need, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need I Need FABULOUS! Sharpettes: Fabulous Hair, fabulous style, Fabulous eyes and that fabulous smile. Sharpay: I like what I see, I like it a lot Sharpettes: Is this absolutely fabulous? Ryan: Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous? Sharpay: Absolutely... NOT!

I do not believe I am a very picky person, although I do have expectations for various aspects of life. I want fabulous!, like this song, I ask things to be in the right way that would make me happy and it has to be perfect for me, but I do not need things
to be fabulous to Sharpay does. I usually do not need things to be done in a fancy way but as long as it makes me feel content. My expectations are usually righteous so I believe its right would want things my way! One time I asked the food to not be over cooked and it was not, I was pleased and I think that it is not wrong to request for that!

There was a time when I had been romantically linked by many of my mean, teasing friends to another girl in Middle School, but seriously, until now, I had never like any girl that I study with or met. It is very annoying to be rumored everywhere about a crazy and ridiculous relationship that I am involved in which is NOT true!
Come On Show 'em What Your Worth Make 'em Go "Oh, Oh, Oh!" As You Shoot Across The Sky-y-y Baby You're A Firework Come On Let Your Colors Burst Make 'em Go "Oh, Oh, Oh!" You're Gonna Leave 'em Goin "Oh, Oh,
Oh!" Boom, Boom, Boom Even Brighter Than The Moon, Moon, Moon Boom, Boom, Boom Even Brighter Than The Moon, Moon, Moon

I am not afraid to show my inner personality so that people would not judge me just because of my outer appearance. When I was still a 1st grader, I am not as smart as now but I keep acting smart. However, one of my friends busted me getting a bad score on the test and I was so depressed. After that incident, I tried harder in my studies and I got better and better! I think that there is nothing wrong with being who I am. I do not think it is right to hide your identity. Baby youre a firework, yes I am going to be a firework that lights up the sky and I will not put a mask to cover my face! How can you ever be comfortable when you are acting like a person who you are not?
