[Verse] In the schoolyard you were a kind of shy Behind your smile was a hidden cry We grew up but the pain stuck around You were lost even in a crowd [Chorus] Ghost in the alley shadows in the night Lost in the battle no end in sight We weren't close but I grieve your fall Your silent scream echoes through it all [Verse] Saw you stumble through the years Eyes glazed drowning in your fears Addiction gripped you like a vice Paid the price once then twice [Chorus] Ghost in the alley shadows in the night Lost in the battle no end in sight We weren't close but I grieve your fall Your silent scream echoes through it all [Verse] Tried to find you a saving grace But darkness clouded every place One moment you were here the next gone Left me with a ghost to mourn on [Bridge] Every promise now seems shattered In a world where you never mattered But to me your memory stays Haunting shadows cling to my days

Igagapos, itatali, saka ito irarape, Pagkatapos nito wala nang kawala sa sugat na nakamit, Pagtapos ng lahat, hustisya’y pinagkait, Tila hinayaang masaktan, iniwanan ng sugat na di malilimutan
Verse 1) Dil se guzar ke tu yun chala gaya, Jaise hawaa mein kuch mitti uda gaya, Meri duniya ko tu rang se bhar ke, Khud rang khud ka chura gaya. (Pre-Chorus) Tere khayalon mein kho gaya hoon, Har pal, bas tujhe sochta hoon, Tere bina hai sab adhoora, Jaise bin chand ke raat ka noor ho. (Chorus) Tere bina, meri saansein rukti hain, Jaise khushboo bin phool murjhati hain, Meri aankhon mein aansoon chhupaye, Dil se ye awaaz aaye, "Tere bina, kuch bhi nahi." (Verse 2) Yaadon ke dariya mein doobta hoon main, Aks tera ab bhi mere saath hai, Chhod gaya tu par khushbu si teri, Har jagah phaili, mere paas hai. (Pre-Chorus) Teri har muskurahat yaad hai mujhe, Woh hasi, jo mere saath thi, Ab yunhi tanha phir raha hoon main, Jaise tu mera pyaar kabhi saath nahi. (Chorus) Tere bina, meri saansein rukti hain, Jaise khushboo bin phool murjhati hain, Meri aankhon mein aansoon chhupaye, Dil se ye awaaz aaye, "Tere bina, kuch bhi nahi." (Bridge) Dil ki darar ko kaise bharoon, Tere bina kaise jee paoon, Chaand se kahoon ya taaron se, Kisi se toh main dil ka haal kahoon. (Chorus) Tere bina, meri saansein rukti hain, Jaise khushboo bin phool murjhati hain, Meri aankhon mein aansoon chhupaye, Dil se ye awaaz aaye, "Tere bina, kuch bhi nahi." (Outro) Kabhi tu laut ke aayega, yeh umeed hai, Mera intezaar tera, ab bhi hai, Tere bina, main jee toh raha hoon, Par tu hi sach, mera hai.
the inclusion of *Born a Crime* by Trevor Noah in the syllabus of all New South Wales schools. The book is a funny, entertaining memoir of Trevor Noah's childhood in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa, but it also contains powerful lessons for students that can promote understanding, empathy, and cross-cultural awareness. The book is a worthy choice for all Year 8 students because of the themes, language, and humour that it explores. The inclusion of *Born a Crime* is well-explained by its examination of identity and racism, two complex themes that are essential to discuss in the classroom. Trevor Noah, as the offspring of a white father and a Black mother, explores apartheid—a system of racial segregation—firsthand. The book invites readers to think about matters of race and identity, which is highly relevant in a multicultural country like Australia. Noah specifically says, "I was born a crime." When you tell people that you're half-white, half-black, they think of something beautiful, like a zebra. The metaphor of a zebra to describe mixed-race identity points out how society views racial mixing as something unusual rather than natural. The text's ability to discuss serious topics with humor and sensitivity will allow students to explore identity in a safe and thoughtful manner. Additionally, the book features great characters—especially Trevor's mother, who serves as a fantastic role model of strength and ethics. Trevor's journey with her offers insights into courage and the value of education. As Noah puts it, "My mother did what school couldn’t. She taught me how to think." This ironic line implies that real learning goes beyond formal education. Students can easily relate to characters like Trevor's mother, through whom they learn about family, sacrifice, and the importance of education—lessons relevant to all young readers. Finally, Trevor Noah's accessible writing style makes complex issues understandable for students of all reading levels. His use of humor, storytelling, and simple yet heartfelt language makes challenging topics more approachable. One memorable example is his statement, “Language defines you more than color to people.” Noah’s use of everyday language mixed with deeper themes helps students connect with the text and develop empathy for different perspectives. Overall, I believe *Born a Crime* is an excellent choice for the NSW curriculum, as it engages with crucial themes of identity, racism, and family through relatable characters and accessible language. It is not only an enjoyable read but also a text that challenges students to think critically about the world around them. Including this book in the curriculum will provide students with a meaningful literary experience that aligns with educational standards. Thank you for considering this proposal. I truly believe this book will resonate with students and help them construct a clearer picture of the complexities within our multicultural society.
Sa kislap ng mga bituin, Parang lihim kang bumubulong, Sa bawat ngiti, may pag-ibig Na tahimik na bumabalong. Sa iyong mga mata, Parang alon ng dagat sa dapithapon, Andoon ang aking mga pangarap, Ang puso ko’y nasa bawat pagdaloy. Hawak kamay, lumulutang Sa agos ng panahon at daang magulo. Sa ilalim ng liwanag ng buwan, Ikaw ang sagot sa bawat dasal ko. Magkasama tayong sisilip Sa bawat hiwagang dala ng damdamin, Ikaw ang aking tahanan, Sa mundong minsan ay puno ng alinlangan. Sa mga gabing may takot, Ikaw ang liwanag na natatanaw. Sa bawat hirap na tatawirin, Hindi kita kailanman bibitawan. Sa ilalim ng mga ulap, Pag-ibig ay parang hangin – Walang katapusan, walang hanggan, Ikaw ang tibok ng puso kong nilalaman. Chorus: Hawak kamay, lumulutang Sa agos ng panahon at daang magulo. Sa ilalim ng liwanag ng buwan, Ikaw ang sagot sa bawat dasal ko. Magkasama tayong sisilip Sa bawat hiwagang dala ng damdamin, Ikaw ang aking tahanan, Sa mundong minsan ay puno ng alinlangan.
You're my sunshine, my favorite sight, My morning thought, my dreams at night. Today’s your day, and I just hope you see, How much you truly mean to me. Through every laugh and every smile, With you, life feels a little worthwhile. So here's to you, on this special day, In every possible, wonderful way. I know I've caused you hurt and pain, And I'd take it back, again and again. Every sound and notification, I hope it's you— You’re my heart, my home, my truth. I know I stumble, I get things wrong, But I miss you deeply, all day long. I’ll work on myself, be better each day, To never hurt you in any way. I dream of being near you, close, Though distance now keeps us apart. But for a lifetime, I’ll be there, With steady hands and open heart. I’m learning love, I’m growing still, To stand beside you, strong and true. I work each day to be the one, Deserving of a soul like you. Through all our days, I’ll be the same, Forever here, in love’s sweet name. You've become my favorite place to be, My happy thought, my harmony. In all the world, there's no one I’d find, Who could ever be so kind. Every moment with you feels so right, From sunrise glow to the starry night. You are my joy, my heart's delight, A love that sparkles, warm and bright.
[Verse] City lights they shine so bright In London town where dreams take flight From Tower Hill to Camden's beat Where every corner hums a treat [Verse 2] In smoky pubs we sing our song With laughter loud it won't be long Before the bridges bend and sway We find our light in cloudy grey [Chorus] London Love won't let us down now We rise above the fray somehow From rainy days to nights so grand We build our castle on this land [Verse 3] With Big Ben striking midnight's chime We dance to time and feel sublime In Covent Garden's lively square Where art and love are everywhere [Verse 4] By the Thames where tales are spun Each whispered secret shared in fun Brick by brick our story's told In London’s heart forever bold [Chorus] London Love won't let us down now We rise above the fray somehow From rainy days to nights so grand We build our castle on this land
[Verse] Eyes once brighter than the morning sun Now shadows fall as days are done Dreams we painted over midnight skies Fading echoes love’s goodbyes [Verse 2] Promises like whispers in the rain Softly spoken yet they fade in pain Time’s a thief that stole our fate Left our future blank and late [Chorus] Every heartbeat feels like thunder Tearing skies that pull me under Thought we'd light up old and grey Now these tears fall every day [Verse 3] Silver strands we’ll never touch our hair Moments frozen in that vacant stare Laughter lost in empty rooms Lonely echo fills my gloom [Bridge] Our photographs now ghostly frames Nights are haunted by our names I’m a ship on shattered seas Lost in waves of memories [Chorus] Every heartbeat feels like thunder Tearing skies that pull me under Thought we'd light up old and grey Now these tears fall every day
