I. Think about your favorite song. What does the song tell about you? What particular lyrics of the
song strike you the most as it reveals/relates something in your life. Justify your answer.
Music is a vital part of different moments of human life. It spreads happiness and joy in a person’s life.
Music is the soul of life and gives immense peace to us. In the words of William Shakespeare, “If music is the
food of love, play on, give me excess of it; that surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die.” Thus, Music
helps us in connecting with our souls or real self. In every music we hear or sing there is and we have a single
song that we really like and this become our favorite.

I, as an ordinary person in the world, I hear and encounter many songs. But there is a song that makes
me happy every time I hear it. That is the song On This Day by David Pomeranz. I have been singing it ever
since, but one day while I was still pregnant, we had fun. We sang happily with my family. I sang a lot but the
last one I sang was the song On This Day. In the afternoon, my stomach hurt and nobody knows this was also
the day or night that I would give birth.

The highlighted lyrics gave mark to my heart. since I gave birth I have promised myself to take care of
and I will not neglect my baby. This song gave a strong impact and sign that on this day, June 09, 2019, I have
to commit because it is the day my baby arrives.

On This Day
David Pomeranz

Here we stand today

Like we always dreamed
Starting out our life together
Light is in your eyes
Love is in our heart
I can't believe you're really mine forever
Been rehearsin' for this moment all my life
So don't act surprised
If the feeling starts to carry me away
On this day
I promise forever
On this day
I surrender my heart
Here I stand, take my hand
And I will honor every word that I say
On this day
Not so long ago
This earth was just a field
Of cold and lonely space
Without you
Now everything's alight
Now everything's revealed
And the story of my life is all about you
So if you feel the cool winds blowing through your nights
I will shelter you
I'm forever here to chase your fears away
On this day
I promise forever
On this day
 I surrender my heart
Here I stand, take my hand
And I will honor every word I say
On this day
Oh, I been rehearsin' for this moment all my life
So don't act surprised
If the feeling starts to carry me away
On this day
I promise forever
On this day
I surrender my heart
Here we stand, like I planned
Please say you'll always look at me this way
Like on this day
On this day
