Coldplay - Sparks

Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say
You say, 'Oh, sing one we know'

But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
That's what I'll do
I say 'oh'I say 'oh'

My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to
That's what I do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down

(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will)
I say 'oh'
I cry 'oh'

Yeah I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
Sing it out

La, la, la, la, oh
La, la, la, la, oh
La, la, la, la, oh
La, la, la, la, oh




Happy MLK day, everyone! One thing I admire most about Dr. King is that he used non-violent tactics to fight. As a boy growing up, this concept used to be hard to grasp, just thinking about the plain irony in the statement. Years from that point, I realize the deeper method, not using hate but love as the answer. It's also not enough for me to realize and understand, but to apply his ideals into my own life. That's something everyone in society should take a step back on and reflect on how they could apply this. I also enjoyed how great of an orator Dr. King was, and in some ways when I get a chance to catch a few minutes of an Obama speech, I am reminded of Dr. King because Obama is such a great public speaker as well. It's just something about the two that gives people hope and excitement. Never have I seen kids so engaged and pumped up about politics as kids are now. As well as adults too, you can see that the people look up to our next president as a reason to beleive again. Tomorrow is a big day, and hopefully a day I'll never forget.

Yeah, a day to never forget but it would've been so much better if the experience was beyond the audio realm. I guess watching the rerun suffices. -__-
