I met this girl,
She's your daughter Lord.
I like her and she knows it.
I pray for her today, Lord,
Of course I don't ask you
to make her like me.
I just want to pray for her...
For Your grace and blessing on her...
Today I passed by the plaza and I thought:
"What a nice day to spend with her."
I'm older now,
and I'd like to see us grow a bit together,
My girlfriend and I...
I ask you to take care of her.
I feel I need her,
This is important.
I ask you to keep her pure.
And shine through her purity,
so that it may breed confidence and peace.
Make her transparent,
to be able to share a life with me
I ask you to grant her Your strength.
Prepare her for the sufferings she must face.
Prepare her to accept Your Will.
Prepare her for me
because I am waiting for her.
If I'm supposed to be the person
she will love,
may she find in me the freedom
of a world yet to be.
May she discover in me a way
to your true discipleship
and the reality of your love.
I ask you that as we walk
together in the plaza,
by that very fact,
the plaza will become more beautiful than ever.
Amen.

Time to revive the theme song for my blog, and also to break my "no chinese post" promise... (English translations included)
一路向北
詞:方文山 曲:周杰倫
後視鏡裡的世界 越來越遠的道別
你轉身向背 側臉還是很美
我用眼光去追 竟聽見你掉淚
在車窗外面徘徊 是我錯失的機會
你站的方位 跟我中間隔著痍�在後退 你的崩潰在車外零碎
我一路向北 離開有你的季節
你說你好累 已無法再愛上誰
風在山路吹 過往的畫面全都是我不對
細數慚愧 我傷你幾回
我一路向北 離開有你的季節
你說你好累 已無法再愛上誰
風在山路吹 過往的畫面全都是我不對
細數慚愧 我傷你幾回
我一路向北 離開有你的季節
方向盤周圍 迴轉著我的後悔
我加速超越 卻甩不掉緊緊跟隨的傷悲
細數慚愧 我傷你幾回
停止狼狽 就讓錯純粹
The world in the rear view mirror
Says goodbye further and further away
You turn around towards your back
The side of your face is still very beautiful
I use my vision to chase
I unexpectedly hear your tears
Lingering outside the car window
Is the chance I missed
You are standing in position
Tears across the middle of you and me
The view of the street has been recoiling all along
The bits and pieces of your collapse are outside the window
I go all the way north
Leaving the season that has you
You say you are very tired
You already have no way to fall in love with anyone else
The wind blows on the mountain road
The frames in the past are all my wrongs
Counting the shame
How many times I hurt you
The world in the rear view mirror
Says goodbye further and further away
You turn around towards your back
The side of your face is still very beautiful
I use my vision to chase
I unexpectedly hear your tears
Lingering outside the car window
Is the chance I missed
You are standing in position
Tears across the middle of you and me
The view of the street has been recoiling all along
The bits and pieces of your collapse are outside the window
I go all the way north
Leaving the season that has you
You say you are very tired
You already have no way to fall in love with anyone else
The wind blows on the mountain road
The frames in the past are all my wrongs
Counting the shame
How many times I hurt you
I go all the way north
Leaving the season that has you
The steering wheel encompasses
Rotating around my regrets
I speed up to exceed it
Yet I can’t lose the grief following closely
Counting the shame
How many times I hurt you
Stop the heartlessness
Just let wrong be pure
That's Yi Lu Xiang Bei (translated "Going Up North") by Jay Chou

Wanna dedicate this song to my dear Frances...
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
(Music plays for 30 seconds)
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
(Choir comes in background as music comes in hard)
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
(Choir exits and music softens)
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up...to more than I can be
You raise me up...to more than I can be
Thanks dear!
