Quarter2: Lesson 4

Loving is Giving

Sit Back, Relax, and Relish the Music

There are a lot of songs that take you somewhere back to your past. It may be a past experience from your life or a past experience from a story you have seen in a film or you have read from a book. Songs may even bring you back from the stories told to you by a family member or a close friend.

Listen to the song (and glance at its lyrics) and you may:

1. Take down words that caught your attention; 2. Draw images which you could associate with

the song; 3. Write big words which may represent the

emotion caught by the song; 4. Enumerate as many feelings that the song may

draw out from you; and, 5. Write your responses in your notebook.

Sit Back, Relax, and Relish the Music

I don’t Want You to Go

By Kayla

Here I am Alone and I don't understand Exactly how it all began The dream just walked away I'm holding on When all but the passion's gone And from the start Maybe I was tryin' too hard It's crazy coz it's breakin' my heart Things can fall apart but I know, That I don't want you to go

And heroes die, When they ignore the cause inside But they learn from what's left behind And fight for something else And so it goes That we have both learned how to grow

And from the start Maybe we were tryin' too hard It's crazy coz it's breakin' our heart Things can fall apart but I know, That I don't want you to go

Oh it's just too much Takin' all the whole world all by myself But it's not enough Unless I stop trusting somebody else, Somebody else And love again

And from the start Maybe we were tryin' too hard It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts Things can fall apart but I know, That I don't want you to go, no Maybe we were tryin' to hard It's crazy coz it's breakin' our hearts Things can fall apart but I know, That I don't want you to go Oh no, don't want you to go
