Thank You Matisyahu

So er, my last post was very -_- depressingish. 

I had a very very stressful week, and this one ain't looking too much better. Neither is the next few months

On Tuesday apparently I'm giving a mini-speech/ presentation to my school's Board of Ed. I feel like throwing up just thinking about that. My speech is still yet to be written.

I'm also starting an SAT class on Thursday.

So my free time will be minimal

I've basically been doing homework all day.

Yes, my life is very interesting...

So my birthday is in...18 days.

And then I'll be missing three days of school

And then I'll be on April break

And then I'll make some college visits

And then I will dig myself in a hole and study for my AP exams and SAT for the rest of the month.

Anyways the purpose of this post is to share this really really inspirational song by Matisyahu. It's made me feel so much better. And he's Jewish just like me! Please give it a listen <3

Sometimes I lay
under the moon
and thank God I'm breathing
then I pray
don't take me soon
cause I am here for a reason
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around

because
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day 

it's not about
win or lose
we all lose
when they feed on the souls of the innocent
blood drenched pavement
keep on moving though the waters stay raging
in this maze you can lose your way (your way)
it might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way)

sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around

because
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day

one day this all will change
treat people the same
stop with the violence
down with the hate
one day we'll all be free
and proud to be
under the same sun
singing songs of freedom like
one day 

all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day
