American Idol: Another Day in Paradise

Yes, I admit it. My husband, THE Reverend Ken Porter, got me hooked on American Idol. I know I'm hooked because tonight I watched it while he was at church! He was leading the Good News Chapel Monthly Ministry Team Meeting. I think that was an excessive use of capital letters. But I digress.

After listening to tonight's program, themed "the 80's", I also must admit that I am an 80's girl through and through! They played the contestants most embarrassing moment, and for me, loving those 80's songs may be mine!

One song tonight was sung by 17 year old David Archuleta. He said he chose the song because it speaks about homelessness and it was important to recognize the homeless.

What a priviledge we have at Souls Harbour RESCUE Mission to house the homeless on a daily basis. We look forward to the early May opening of our Women and Family Emergency Shelter on the main floor of our brand new Harbour House!

Another Day in Paradise
Phil Collins

She calls out to the man on the street
sir, can you help me?
Its cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's 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
Cant walk but shes trying

Oh think twice...

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that shes been there
Probably been moved on from every place
cos she didnt fit in there

Oh think twice...
