Journal #2

  Strictly speaking, Declan Galbraith was the first singer who is singing the English song that I liked. The reason I liked him was I heard the song” Tell me why”. That was the song brought me out of my happy life and began to know the painful in this world.
  At the beginning of the song, it described a beautiful dream with a lovely couple and a wonderful view. In this part, I can see the hopeful of the life. “In my dream, children sing a song of love for every boy and girl. The sky is blue and fields are green: And laughter is the language of the world.” When I heard the last sentence, I really thought that the song would talk about the wonderful life as I had.
  Then I found that I was wrong. The rest part of the song broke my heart. “Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need. Tell me why! Does it have to be like this? Tell me why! Is there something I have missed? Tell me why! Cause I don't understand. When so many need somebody. We don't give a helping hand. Tell me why? Everyday I ask myself. What will I have to do to be a man? Do I have to stand and fight to prove to everybody who I am? Is that what my life is for to waste in a world full of war?” That was the first time I knew there still have lots of kids died because of the bad environment and they have no food to eat. And also the ecological environment is destroyed because human’s greed. I confused about why people cannot share what we have and keep peaceful in the world. This song made me thought about this world again. I knew I could not keep staying in my little world and pretend there have nothing happen in the world. I have to go out and do something for the place we are living and for our own life.
