"Life is just a breath away
To cry is a tear away
To know you is so far away
And happiness is just a smile away"
HAPPY HAPPY MILANN BIRTH DAY

Blowin' In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?

Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned? 

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?


Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?


Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?


The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?


Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?


Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?


The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

The Nature of the Grassland

The grassland is bold:
It is able to withstand
Heavy downpours and howling winds.

The grassland is quite:
It is able to hear
The whispers of grass and heartbeats of birds.

The grassland is broad:
It is able to embrace
Mountains of silver and oceans of iron.

Boldness, quietness and broad-mindedness
Are the characteristics of our grassland,
As well as of our nationality.
