‘Cause they got nowhere to go
That’s why I want you to know
I’m starting with
the man in the mirror, I’m asking him
to change his
ways.

If you wanna make the world a
better place, take a look at yourself,
and then make a change.
I’ve been a victim of a selfish kind of love, it’s time that I realize.
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan.
Could it be really me, pretending that they’re not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody’s broken heart, and a washed-out
dream.
They follow the pattem of the wind you see, cause they got no place to be.
That’s why Fm starting with me.
Fm starting with the man in the mirror, Fm asking him to change his
ways.
And no message could have been any clearer.

your heart, you can’t close your ... your mind.

Cat saved family from house fire
Damira Nasirova was woken up at 4:45 a.m. by the cries of the
family cat, Momiqoy, coming from the garage. Damira went downstairs
to see what the fuss had been about. What she saw was smoke and
flames; she quickly grabbed the cat and rushed back inside to wake up
her husband and their five children.
The fire destroyed the garage and a bedroom. None of the family
was harmed thanks to the cat’s cries.
As an interesting side note, none
of the family had been fond of the cat before this incident; however
Damira Nashirova claimed “We love it now. This thing is getting some
tuna tonight!”
