another day in paradise.

Brandy Feat Ray J - Another Day In Paradise



Brandy and her brother hook up for one of the most touching remakes of a song.
i heard this song yesterday while i was grocery shopping and today i watched the vid; and it made me cry. The lyrics, the video and most of all the truth behind it. if you watch you know for a fact that this shit happens to so many people around the world everysingle day. I witness this on my way to work, i see tons of people who are struggling to find a place to sleep so in the end they just sleep on the footpath til they find another place to sleep. Often they come into work scraping for peoples left overs or asking for some of someones food walking by, of course its disturbing. But bear in mind these people have NOTHING.

I often walk around the city and on some days i see the same people i see at work, still struggling to do anything. I remember awhileee ago, i was out with my friends and we ordered a family size chips for all of us, and we JUST started eating and this man came along and ravaged through the bin for food, and without a second thought Brigette stood up took our chips and gave it to the man, leaving us without lunch. But at that point seeing how grateful he was, statisfied us more than those chips could. Watching the video, theres a part where the lady approaches a man and asks for a bit of his sandwich and he gets pissed walks off and throws it in the bin, and the lady heads for the bin and eats it, and yet so many people look at her in digust, its horrible to see that these people eventhough they've got it good, they dont have a right of mind to understand the situation these people are in. Sure they could afford to go to fancy schools drive some awesome cars and live in mansions but too bad that money didnt buy them a heart..

She calls out to the man on the street
Sir can you help me?
Its cold and Ive no where to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?


He walks on, doesnt look back
He pretends he cant hear her
He starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh, think twice, cause its just another day for you
And me in paradise
Oh, think twice, cause its just another day for you,
You and me in paradise
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see shes been crying
Shes got blisters on the soles of her feet
She cant walk but shes trying
Oh, think twice, cause its just another day for you
And me in paradise
Oh, think twice, cause its just another day for you,
You and me in paradise
Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say
Oh, think twice, cause its just another day for
And me in paradise
Oh, think twice, cause its just another day for you,
You and me in paradise
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that shes been there
Probably been moved on from every placecause she didnt fit in this
Oh, think twice, cause its just another day for
And me in paradise
Oh, think twice, cause its just another day for you,
You and me in paradise
Just think about it
Its just another day for you and me in paradise
