AM I WRONG
( By : Nico & Vinz )

Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?

Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?
I ain’t trying to do what everybody else doing
Just cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, I’ll fall but I’ll grow
I’m walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

So am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can’t see?
But that’s just how I feel,
That’s just how I feel (2x)
Trying to reach the things that I can’t see

Am I tripping for having a vision?

My prediction: I’m be on the top of the world
Walk your walk and don’t look back, always do what you decide
Don’t let them control your life, that’s just how I feel
Fight for yours and don’t let go, don’t let them compare you, no

There was a blacksmith once who complained,” I am not well, and my work is too warm. I want to be a
stone on the mountain. There it must be cool, for the wind blows and the trees give a shade.”
A wise man who had power over all things replied, “Go you, be a stone.” And he was a stone, high up
on the mountain-side.
It happened that a stone-cutter came that way for a stone. When he saw the one that had been the
blacksmith, he knew that it was what he sought, and he began to cut it. The stone cried out, “This hurts! I no
longer want to be a stone. A stone-cutter I want to be. That would be pleasant”. The wise man, humoring him,
said, “Be a cutter”.
Thus he became a stone-cutter, and as he went seeking suitable stones, he grew tired, and his feet were
sore. He whimpered, “I no longer want to cut stones. I would be the sun, that would be pleasant”. The wise man
commanded, “Be the sun”.
And he was the sun. But the sun was warmer than the blacksmith, than a stone, than a stone- cutter, and
he complained, “I do not want to be the sun, I would be a smith again. That, verily is the best life.”

will remain.”

A HERO
( By : Mariah Carey)
There’s a hero if you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid of what you are
There’s an answer if you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And then you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It’s a long road when you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don’t let anyone tear them away
Hold on, there will be tomorrow
In time you’ll find the way
29. What message can we learn from the song?
A. People face the world alone
B. Allow anyone tear our dreams
