    這星期是令人難過的星期，每次一個人在家看88風災的新聞時，我的眼淚就會不聽使喚地一直掉、一直掉。

    我是高雄人，如果我是受災戶，今天的悲劇發生在我身上，我一定會焦慮到馬上回高雄處理。而今天已經是風災第七天了，如果還找不到家人，我無法想像這是多麼失望與絕望的事，這是難過落淚的原因之一。

    難過落淚的第二個原因，我們的同胞發生這樣的事，我在台北可以幫他們做什麼？我只有捐款，但我只敢捐給私人機構如紅十字或世界展望會。我感到非常難過，我的能力不夠大，目前只能做到捐款。但最有資源、最有能力的政府呢？政府，你們的力量比我們大太多了，我多麼希望你們能加快腳步、幫災民做一些事呀！這些災民夜以繼日地期盼家人的消息，今天都第七天了，政府，你晚上怎麼睡的著呢？災民們不只失去家人，也失去了家園，they have nothing, nothing! 政府，你晚上怎麼睡的著呢？

    落淚的第三個原因，台灣人民的力量令人感動，也讓我們從悲傷中看到未來的希望。這次民間的救災動員幾乎無所不在，無論在辦公室、荼水間、MSN, Plurk, PTT，或電視，都可以看到台灣人民有錢出錢、有力出力的感動故事。無論這星期的新聞是多麼令人心痛，我還是相信台灣將會再爬起來，繼續往前進。台灣加油！

    May the force be with Taiwan.

Theres a place in
Your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could
Be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
Youll find theres no need
To cry
In this place youll feel
Theres no hurt or sorrow

There are ways
To get there
If you care enough
For the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
Theres a love that
Cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for
Joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this bliss
We cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and
Start living

Then it feels that always
Loves enough for
Us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

And the dream we were
Conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we
Once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep
Strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify its soul
Though its plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be gods glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all
My brothers
Create a world with
No fear
Together we cry
Happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords
Into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough
For the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
