Jackie wrote at least One Song!

One of the questions that has arisen many times is "Has Jackie written any songs?" and here is the answer. Yes he has!

When I look into the faces of these young people, I feel that they can be bright and have great potential in their future as long as they don’t give up. This thought reminded me of a song, and I felt I really had to sing it to them. Why did I have to sing this song for them? This song is not love song; it is a song about a hero. It is a song that I wrote with my friend Lee Chung Sing when I told him I wanted to sing a song about encouragement. I didn’t want some cheesy love song, and as we were talking we came up with a song about a hero.

This song is called “Running Toward the Sunshine” and it was written specifically for the prisoners. I hadn’t sung this song for a long time, I though I knew I’d probably forget the melody or the lyrics, I still tried to sing it. Once I finished, I heard intense applause. My goals here were to give people encouragement and support so that they too can head for the sunshine.

LYRICS

Running Toward the Sunshine

There things in my heart I want to say
But I haven’t the chance to tell you
Tonight I have a deep feeling I’ve never had
Right now, it maybe the right time to say it

Remember failure always follows me
The result of failure wants me to submit to it
Low self esteem used to be a part of me
In the journey of life I have been affected by it

But I think a man should always walk toward the sunshine
Be determined and never look back
No matter that this journey will be personal
Be brave, and bear with the pain

I think people should head toward hope
No matter what pain you come across, don’t give in
The journey of life, is a personal journey,
Luck will reach out to you with open arms

向着阳光走

有　些　事　在　我　心　中　想　对　你　说

只　是　我　找　不　到　机　会　开　口

今　夜　我　有　一　种　从　来　没　有　的　感　动

现　在　说　也　缸5c正　是　时　候

记　得　失　败　它　曾　经　老　是　跟　著　我　走

挫　折　它　想　尽　办　法　要　我　低　头

只　为　它　曾　经　是　我　多　年　的　朋　友

在　人　生　的　路　上　将　我　左　右

可　是　我　想　人　总　要　向　著　阳　光 走

下　定　决　心　怎　么　苦　也　不　要　回　头

人　生　的　路　总　归　要　自　己　走 自　己　走

鼓　起　勇　气 承　受　我　想　人　总　是　要 向　著　希　望　走

下　定　决　心　怎　么　痛　也　不　要　低　头

人　生　的　路　总　归　要　自　己　走

幸　福　它　会　向　你　利　出　温　暖　的　双 手
