One By One

The first weeks of school have been MADNESS!!! I've never been so busy at work! And I think the reason why I seem so busy may be that I have too many things to handle (too many responsibilities and too many people throwing plates at me), and also my organisational inability, my tendency to procrastinate and my sheer inefficiency in doing things. Sometimes it just overwhelms me to know that I have so many things to do, but I don't know where to start!!! *gah*

This song just suddenly came to mind when I was in the shower today. (You know, the shower can be the best place for one to think and reflect, cuz that's probably the only time when one can be... well... really alone!) It was a song I sung in my MGS choir days, and it aptly describes how I feel...

ONE BY ONE
Sometimes my life is like a ball of mixed up colour strings
So full of knots and tangles, I just can't do a thing
But when I go to sort it out I realise that I
Gotta have to take it one string at a time

Chorus:
One by one, each shining coloured thread
(I'll go) blue by blue, green by green and red by red
Till the colours come untangled and the knots are all undone
One by one, one by one

The mail I should have answered, the friends I ought to call
The gifts I haven't given, I just can't do it all
It lies on my horizon like a mountain I must climb
And I'll have to take it one thing at a time

Chorus

The songs I haven't finished, unwritten and forlorn
Are stacked on my piano, just waiting to be born
The tangled strings of melody, the ragged scraps of rhyme
I'll just have to spin out one song at a time

Chorus
