I'd like to build the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,
I'd like to hold it in my hand and keep it company.
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand,
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land.
i grew up singing this song to myself now and then. it just makes me feel fortunate. growing up in a home that didn't lack much.
i could pretty much buy any toy i wanted. but of cos i was already very sensible at a young age and didn't ask for exorbitant stuff
(that's prolly my self indulged point of view. but its true to a certain extent alright. thats why i still aint got an ipod now. see. haha).
and now i'm here in this foreign land, where the school fees and lodging are almost 4x time amount back home. tell me. how can i not be thankful.
right. back to how the song lead me to all these thoughts.
cos my dad used to sing karaoke as his pastime at home.
and so he had plenty of LDs. like really plenty! of LDs of movies and karaoke songs.
i wld very much believe that not many families wld have that luxury until the more compacted and cheaper VCDs came out right?
even if i'm wrong, i wld still think i was and am very fortunate.
and i love my parents so.
