If everyone cared...

Hey everyone out there in computerland who reads my blogs...

Today's the first day (well, last night too)  that I've "been so high, higher than the clouds in the sky.  When I close my eyes and realise..."  (Phatmass Song).  This weekend I'm going on my parish's Spring Retreat.  We're going with St. Joe's and Our Lady of Lourdes', too.  64 kids are signed up already...

Guess who's doing one of the presentations for the prayer walk?  Yep, me!  Goody, huh?  A few minute shpiel on my usual topic(s), and pic a theme song.  I spent WAAAY too much time on my ipod trying to find a song, and I finally came up with...

NICKELBACK'S:

"If Everyone Cared"

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

[Chorus]

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died

I <3 this song.  It'll be good.  I hope.  Now I just have to figure out what to say...no biggie, though. 

Alrighty, I've got to go.  Confirmation class is starting.  YAYNESS!
