O' Tiero 2009: Unity
When we look back
Wasn't it just yesterday
I couldn't find the words to say
To fill the empty silence
To break the awkward moments
A little smile and laughter shared
A friendship sparked because you cared
This path we tread wont be smooth
But together, we will pull though
Prechorus:
Walking hand in hand, heart to heart,
Joining voices to sing and dance
When I start this song, you'll sing along,
And we can just go on and on and on
Chorus:
When we look back, will we remember
Each moment of this year?
The days that mark out time in here
Threaten to disappear
All that we have's the present
To cherish while we can
Seizing every chance we're blessed with
And leave with no regrets
Took a firm step in this place
Wishes, hopes, we're in a daze
The cold walls are taunting
Just where's the warmth within?
Whenever you call my name
Across the corridor
The madness of chasing dreams
Doesn't matter anymore
Prechorus
Chorus
Bridge:
rough winds only bring us higher
tough fights only make us stronger
yet knowing we've got one another
we'll stick together more than ever
yeah.... yeah....
Chorus x2
All the friends we've made we won't forget
We'll leave with no regrets
These two years no regrets
These two years no regrets
It's lovely isn't it? It'd be wonderful to leave (and live) with no regrets; to know there's a voice out there that can chase away the madness of the soul; to know that, "As Rafflesians, you'll never have to face it alone."
A friendship sparked because you cared
What fire starts without a spark; what spark flames without fuel?
Really, is orientation any more than a flint to which tinder and wood must be provided? Apologies to those left on a high; is it really possible to build heart-to heart relationships in 70-odd hours? Are you going to mourn a death in the family with someone you've shared a few jokes with? Can you share your hopes and dreams and expect loving support from someone you've participated in activities with? Can failures and successes, ambitions and dark secrets, heart and soul, be poured out to someone with whom you've only chatted about the same boat you're in? (edit: am I always this bitter?_)
Of course, that's not to say there's anything the matter with enjoying orientation. With knowing new people or with having fun with them. But it's certainly only just started, and it's surely too early to have built very much of very great importance. I hope.
So, tell me, how are friends made in a matter of days and hours? How are people, when put, not drawn, together, able to hit it off just like (fingersnap) that?
