Tell me who doesn't love What can never come back You can never forget how it used to feel The illusion is deep Its as deep as the night I can tell by your tears you remember it all
I am paralysed by the blood of Christ Though it clouds my eyes I can never stop
How it feels to be dry Walking bare in the sun Every mirage I see is a mirage of you As I cool in the twilight Taste the salt on my skin I recall all the tears All the broken words
I am paralysed by the blood of Christ Though it clouds my eyes I can never stop
When the sunsets glow drifts away from you You'll no longer know If any of this was really true at all
Maybe not... but something similar you must have seen on the news already. Let me ask you: have you ever switched to another channel as soon as one injured person lied on the ground?
I did.
But have you ever wondered, for a minute or two, even after you switched to another channel, about that person you just saw. Who is he? What’s his name? What about his family? What was he doing before he got injured? What music does he love? Can he dance?
I did.
The guy on this video is Faruk Sabanovic, and yes, he survived. You should ReadMore about Faruk.
You see... this guy liked girls, music and played in a band. Just like me... He was 16 years old when the war in Sarajevo broke out. Just like me...
...13 years after that this video and Faruk were shooted most of us are connected with our far friends via Facebook. I´m. So is He. Searching for some old friends I found my old buddy, Faruk Sabanovic. We went to school together... We listened to the same music... We played instruments. He played guitar, I played bass... Huge dreams we had...
"I made a huge fashion mistake that day. I was wearing white socks. I'm so embarrassed." 27-year-old Faruk Sabanovic isn't remembering a bad job interview, he's commenting on an old CNN news bulletin we're watching. It shows a young man lying on the ground. Brave but wary men crouch near him trying to lift him out of the gutter.
Faruk was a victim of Sarajevo's "Snipers Alley"
Faruk is watching his life as caught on camera one sunny morning in March 1995. On that day he became yet another victim of Sarajevo's infamous and deadly "Snipers Alley". Not a small dark street, but a six-lane highway that cuts the centre of Sarajevo in half. As the figures move on screen Faruk again says, "Look white socks, terrible."
His self-deprecating comments about the day that changed his life, give you a hint at how remarkable a young man Faruk Sabanovic really is. His plight on that CNN news bulletin caught the attention of an American doctor and Faruk was able to get expert medical help in the States. Unfortunately the bullet wound had irrevocably damaged his spine and means he's now a wheelchair user. But instead of giving in to despair and becoming confined by his disability, he came back to Sarajevo and started the Centre for Self Reliance.
Living with disability
In communist times disabled people were hidden away in Institutions, and the Bosnian war created another 25,000 disabled people.
Faruk Sabanovic
With help from the International Red Cross Faruk began campaigning for better access for wheelchair users in buildings and increased benefits for the disabled. Almost single handed he's changed people's lives and perceptions. Thanks to Faruk the streets of Sarajevo are now accessible for him and others like him. Ramps were built on every street corner and yellow lines on the pavements delineate wheelchair only areas. Disability doesn't mean dependency." - BBC NEWS

THE BLOOD
Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
Its as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all
I am paralysed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears
All the broken words
I am paralysed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
When the sunsets glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know
If any of this was really true at all
THE CURE
Have you seen this war footage?
Maybe not... but something similar you must have seen on the news already. Let me ask you: have you ever switched to another channel as soon as one injured person lied on the ground?

And here is one of animations he did.
