JULY 21, 2008

In Jackie's June diary, he wrote about recording two new songs to help uplift the spirits of the earthquake victims. He promised to post the songs on his website as soon as possible. Here is the first of the two songs:

Youth Are Strong

Youth are strong and their hearts can fly
The road is damaged, their dreams are in the sky
They won't surrender even if they fail
They are so strong, wipe away the tears; stand up straight.
Love has no boundaries; justice is big-hearted
Love is planted in life's battleground
Forgive my craziness, I truly believe 
I'm not doing this for attention
The sky is so big; the land is so broad
The land lets the sky lift up the youth's strength
You choose the light; love needs to fight till the end.
The light of the human spirit will light up the road of dreams.
Painful tears water this song
In your life there will be darkness; then the dawn's light.
You and I grew up together and our love also grew.
Success rides on hope's shoulders,
Youth are strong,
Forgive my craziness.
