Nietzsche's Eyes
Paula Cole
 
How many times did I have to hear you say to me
Self obsessed artist,
Center of your universe?
Well, I believed your every word
And I believed you were my God

Nietzsche's eyes, Nietzsche's kite
Failed in flight to us, and oh my love...

Grandmother, mother, and now I see it in myself
I take on the water
until the dam threatens to break
I became a little doll
My voice became too small

Nietzsche's eyes, Nietzsche's kite
failed in flight to us, and oh my love...

I'm shakin', I'm shakin', I'm gettin' down this fantasy
And I'm shakin', I'm shakin', I'm gettin' down this, gettin' down this
You were not my Superman

I didn't know, just how I fell
Oh my love...

I'm shakin', I.... oh, I'm gettin' down this,
You were not my Superman...

I wasn't honest, I tried to philosophize
Only too late did I see that I wore Nietzsche's eyes
Now that I step back to see, I haven't been me...

And oh my love...
Nietzsche's eyes (oh my love), Nietzsche's kite (oh my love)
failed in flight to us (oh my love), and oh my love

I'm shakin', I'm shakin', I'm gettin' down this fantasy
And I'm shakin', I'm shakin',
I'm gettin' down this, gettin' down this
gettin' down this, gettin' down this, gettin' down this
gettin' down this, gettin' down this, gettin' down this
gettin' down this, gettin' down this, gettin' down this...
 
 
 
God Is Real
India Arie
The sweetest honey to the brightest flower
The largest planet to the smallest atom
Snowflakes and the bird kingdom
Smaller than the eye can see bigger then the mind can conceive

Heard a man on the radio today
(Spoken)I mean I'm not going to believe in anything that I can't see and I've 
been through a lot of hardships in my life ya know ya know in my life
Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say
How he could he not believe that God is real
I don't understand how
He could feel that way

When there's earth, air, water, and fire
So many different flowers
Sunshine and rain showers
So many different crystals
And hills and volcanoes

Chorus
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
That's how I know that God is real

In St. Lucia I jumped in the water
(Spoken)It was like I was seeing it for the first time. It literally changed 
my life.
For the first time I understood its power 
As I swam I was cleansed
If I had any doubts
This experience cleared them 
Now I know for sure that GOd is real
I know that it's the truth
By the way it feels

Cause I saw starfish and sponges
Fish shaped like trumpets
So many different colors
I stayed out there for hours and I only saw a fraction of a fraction of the 
deepest of the deep of the great blue wide
It brought a tear to my eye

Chorus
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real

We're made of the same stuff 
As the moon and the stars
The oceans saltwater just like my tears are 
You feel me
The sunrises and sets everyday without fail

Chorus
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real

India Arie is awesome. Oh my gosh, sleepyhead, I do think you're a kindred spirit after all....

Trinitie XD I think I really am. I love India Arie's very spiritual outlook. Seems like a mystery to me if she's Christian(she sometimes writes about angels in her songs, though), nonetheless her belief that there's that Someone whose omnipotence is far far far beyond everybody's grasp has made a really great impact in my life. Whenever I am depressed, I just play her songs. I get myself some spiritual boost whenever I chill to her songs. =)

It's okay. XD My friends are very proficient in the English language. We don't know the contextual meaning of some of your slang words (or colloquialism) though, nevertheless we are a very resourceful people. We try to ask people of their contextual meanings. hehe! But you can ask me which of these terms you'd like to learn. By the way, the dialect is Tagalog and it has a Malayo-Polynesian origin. It's fun learning this language. My people love playing with certain words, and there's always a new one everyday. lolz!
