Phantom of the Opera - All I ask of you

RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I’m here, nothing can harm you
my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I’m here with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you…

CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime…
Say you need me with you now and always…
Promise me that all you say is true
that’s all I ask of you

RAOUL
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You’re safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you…

CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night
and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me…

RAOUL
Then say you’ll share with me
one love, one lifetime
let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you…
anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that’s all I ask of you…

CHRISTINE
Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime…
say the word and I will follow you…
(right) BOTH:
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning…
(right) CHRISTINE
Say you love me…

RAOUL
You know I do…

BOTH
Love me - that’s all I ask of you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me - that’s all I ask of you…

What comes next?

I have lots of thoughts lately about some certain things that I should do. The question of what comes next pops into my head. What comes next after you graduate? What comes next when you are working? What comes next?

Many people asks this question and I bet they will have a list of things to tell you. But sometimes when you reach your goals or dreams is that really enough? Will that make you happy? Will it last? I don’t know. Sometimes for me I don’t like thinking so much of what comes next because I worry a lot. That truth is now, I don’t know what to do. sometimes I ask myself what’s the point of all of this? Why do you need to find a job? why do you need to have this or that? Am I making sense? hahaha. Well, at times I feel like I’m just a stranger in this world.

After everything that has happened to me, losing my mom and still trying to stand my ground in my faith and still pursue the things I love, What comes next? What’s the point? Lord where are you taking me? When things in your life happens and you don’t have a control over it, what do you do? Do you bail out? Or do you stay? I’ve realized a lot of things about myself when mom died. I realized that LIFE IS SHORT, I know this will sound so common but it is really true. I stopped dreaming and wanting to achieve my dreams when mom died because I don’t see the reason anymore but I just thank God that He didn’t give up on me because He promised a future for me. It will always be out of our control but I gotta have faith on the one who created me and loved me with an everlasting life. 

every wound and pain in my heart is real and it is real to my God as well, He knows it and He was there recording every tear and every faint cry in my heart to desire for Him even in my pain. I don’t know when I can say that I’m fully healed with the death of my mom but one thing I am sure of is that WHAT COMES NEXT in my life is IN THE HANDS OF MY GOD and I should not be afraid when things in my life is out of control because HE IS IN FULL CONTROL.
