On that Autumn morning...

It was an autumn morning, 7 months into unemployment, after completing several video games, and built a few model cars/tanks, I was sleeping. Then, my mom woke me up, in the middle of the morning, she said, "US was under a full scale attack!".

There was so much excitement in her voice, like someone had found Santa Claus. That woke me up, I went to the TV, seeing the burning buildings was really surreal. Of course, there wasn't a full scale attack. But over two thousand people died...

The world paused for a second, then the world moved on. The president in US started a war, then another war. I found a job, then another job. I found love, then another love. Many people have moved on, but there was an autumn morning when people stopped and thought about life.

Hero - Nickelback

I am so high. I can hear heaven.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
Oh but heaven, no heaven don’t hear me.

And they say that a hero can save us.
I’m not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.

Someone told me love [would] all save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, n' blood-spilling
that won't never came.

And they say that a hero can save us.
I’m not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.

Now that the world isn't ending, [it's]love that I’m sending to you.
It isn’t the love of a hero, and that’s why I fear it won’t do.

And they say that a hero can save us.
I’m not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.

[And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
[They're watching us]
(Watching Us)
as we all fly away.

Never a big fan of nickelback, but this song was released on the faithful day. Very ironic... and that, I have learnt, is life...
