• New born Orangutans play
• With new born baby tigers,
• In the Taman Safari zoo
• Where they live together.
• Their mothers are gone
• And daddies are too,
• But they love each other
• Locked in the zoo.
• They play, tease, and
• Wrestle all day long.
• When its time for bed
• They dont even need a song.
• They cuddle together
• As if it were momma,
• But its only the four of them
• Kia, Irma, Manis, and Dema.

• WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2007
• Tiger and orangutan babies become playmates at
  Indonesian zoo
• A pair of month-old Sumatran tiger twins have
  become inseparable playmates with a set of young
  orangutans, an unthinkable match in their natural
  jungle habitat in Indonesias tropical
  rainforests.
• The friendship between 5-month-old female
  baby primates Nia and Irma, and cubs Dema and
  Manis, has blossomed at the Taman Safari zoo
  where they share a room in the nursery.After
  being abandoned by their mothers shortly after
  birth, the four play fight, nipping and teasing
  each other, and cuddling up for a shared nap when
  they are worn out. This is unusual and
  would never happen in the wild, said zoo keeper
  Sri Suwarni, bottle-feeding a baby chimp on
  Wednesday. Like human babies, they only want to
  play. The four have lived side-by-side for
  a month without a single act of hostility, she
  said.Indonesian tigers and orangutans are both
  endangered species, threatened by rapidly
  shrinking habitats. The exceptional
  friendship will likely be short-lived, said
  veterinarian Retno Sudarwati, because as the
  animals grow up their natural survival instincts
  will kick in. When the time comes, they
  will have to be separated. Its sad, but we cant
  change their natural behavior, she said. Tigers
  start eating meat when they are three months
  old.

• Why- It is a song about friends leaving school
  and still trying to remain friends.
• The Graduation Song
• And so we talked all night about the rest of our
  livesWhere we're gonna be when we turn 25I keep
  thinking times will never changeKeep on thinking
  things will always be the sameBut when we leave
  this year we won't be coming backNo more hanging
  out cause we're on a different trackAnd if you
  got something that you need to sayYou better say
  it right now cause you don't have another
  dayCause we're moving on and we can't slow
  downThese memories are playing like a film
  without soundAnd I keep thinking of the night in
  JuneI Didn't know much of love, but it came too
  soonAnd There was me and you, and then it got
  real blueStay at home talkin' on the telephone
  andWe would get so excited, we'd get so
  scaredLaughing at our selves thinking life's not
  fairAnd this is how it feelsChorusAs we go
  on, we rememberAll the times we had togetherAnd
  as our lives change, from whateverWe will still
  be, friends forever

• So if we get the big jobs and we make the big
  moneyWhen we look back now, will that joke still
  be funny?Will we still remember everything we
  learned in school?
• Still be trying to break every single ruleWill
  little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?Can
  Heather find a job that won't interfere with
• her tan?I keep, I keep thinking that it's not
  goodbyeKeep on thinking it's a time to flyAnd
  this is how it feelsRepeat chorusLa, la,
  la, la yeah, yeah, yeahLa, la, la, la, we will
  still be friends foreverWill we think about
  tomorrow like we think about now?Can we survive
  it out there? Can we make it somehow?I guess I
  thought that this would never endAnd suddenly
  it's like we're women and menWill the past be a
  shadow that will follow us round?Will these
  memories fade when I leave this townI keep, I
  keep thinking that it's not goodbyeKeep on
  thinking it's a time to flyRepeat chorus 3x

• VerseNo one talks to him about how he livesHe
  thinks that the choices he makes are just
  hisDoesn't know he's a leader with the way he
  behavesAnd others will follow the choices he's
  madeHe lives on the edge, he's old enough to
  decideHis brother who wants to be him is just
  nineHe can do what he wants because it's his
  rightThe choices he makes change a nine year
  old's lifeTagChorusLittle Mikey D. was the one
  in class who everyday got brutally harassedThis
  went on for years until he decided that never
  again would he shed another tearSo he walked
  through the door, grabbed the four-four out of
  his father's dresser drawerAnd said I can't take
  life no moreAnd like that life can be lostBut
  this ain't even about thatAll of us just sat
  back and watched it happenThinkin' it's not my
  responsibility to solve a problem that isn't
  about meThis is our problemThis is just one of
  the daily scenarios which we choose to close our
  eyesInstead of doing the right thingIf we make
  a choice and be the voice for those who won't
  speak up for themselvesHow many lives would be
  saved, changed, rearrangedNow it's our time to
  pick a sideSo don't keep walkin' byNot wantin'
  to interveneCause you wanna exist and never be
  seenSo let's wake up and change the worldOur
  time is nowChorusYou could be a hero Heroes
  do what's right (our time is now)You could be a
  heroYou might save a life (our time is now)You
  could be a hero, (our time is now) You could join
  the fight

• Hero (Red Pill Remix)
• VerseNo one sits with him, he doesn't fit
  inBut we feel like we do when we make fun of
  himCause you want to belong do you go
  along?Cause his pain is the price paid for you
  to belongIt's not like you hate him or want him
  to dieBut maybe he goes home and thinks suicide
  Or he comes back to school with a gun at his
  sideAny kindness from you might have saved his
  lifeTagHeroes are made when you make a
  choiceChorusYou could be a heroHeroes do
  what's rightYou could be a heroYou might save a
  lifeYou could be a hero, You could join the
  fightFor what's right for what's right for
  what's rightVerseNo one talks to her, she
  feels so aloneShe's in too much pain to survive
  on her ownThe hurt she can't handle overflows to
  a knifeShe writes on her arm, wants to give up
  her lifeEach day she goes on is a day that she's
  brave,Fighting the lie that giving up is the
  way,Each moment of courage her own life she
  savesWhen she throws the pills out a hero is
  madeTagChorus

• Why- It talks about friends always being there
  for each other.
• Friends Theme Song
• So no one told you life was going to be this
  way. Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're
  love life's DOA. It's like you're always stuck
  in second gear, Well, it hasn't been your day,
  your week, your month, or even your year. But,
  I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to
  pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been
  there before. I'll be there for you, cause
  you're there for me too. You're still in bed at
  ten, the work began at eight. You've burned your
  breakfast, so far, things are going great. Your
  mother warned you there'd be days like these,
  But she didn't tell you when the world has
  brought you down to your knees.

• That, I'll be there for you, when the rain
  starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've
  been there before. I'll be there for you, cause
  you're there for me too. No one could ever know
  me, no one could ever see me. Seems like you're
  the only one who knows what it's like to be me.
  Someone to face the day with, make it through
  all the rest with, Someone I'll always laugh
  with, even at my worst, I'm best with you. It's
  like you're always stuck in second gear, Well,
  it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
  or even your year. But, I'll be there for you,
  when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for
  you, like I've been there before. I'll be there
  for you, cause you're there for me too.

• Website- http//www.friendship.com.au/poetry/popul
  ar/pop3.html
• Why- Its about friendship.
• Friendship
• A ruddy drop of manly bloodThe surging sea
  outweighsThe world uncertain comes and
  goes,The lover rooted stays.I fancied he was
  fled,And, after many a year,Glowed unexhausted
  kindlinessLike daily sunrise there.My careful
  heart was free again-O friend, my bosom
  said,Through thee alone the sky is
  arched,Through thee the rose is red,All things
  through thee takes nobler formAnd look beyond
  the earth,The mill-round of our fate appearsA
  sun-path in thy worth.Me too thy nobleness has
  taughtTo master my despairThe fountains of my
  hidden lifeAre through thy friendship fair.

• Friends
• Now must I these three praise Three women that
  have wroughtWhat joy is in my daysOne because
  no thought,Nor those unpassing cares,No, not in
  these fifteenMany-times-troubled years,Could
  ever come betweenMind and delighted mindAnd
  one because her handHad strength that could
  unbindWhat none can understand,What none can
  have and thrive,Youth's dreamy load, till sheSo
  changed me that I liveLabouring in ecstasy.And
  what of her that tookAll till my youth was
  goneWith scarce a pitying look?How could I
  praise that one?When day begins to breakI count
  my good and bad,Being wakeful for her
  sake,Remembering what she had,What eagle look
  still shows,While up from my heart's rootSo
  great a sweetness flowsI shake from head to
  foot.

  st.html
• Why- It talks about being friendly and being a
  friend.
• Be A Friend Be a friend. You don't need money
  Just a disposition sunny Just the wish to help
  another Get along some way or other Just a
  kindly hand extended Out to one who's
  unbefriended Just the will to give or lend,
  This will make you someone's friend. Be a
  friend. You don't need glory. Friendship is a
  simple story. Pass by trifling errors blindly,
  Gaze on honest effort kindly, Cheer the youth
  who's bravely trying, Pity him who's sadly
  sighing Just a little labor spend On the
  duties of a friend.
• Be a friend. The pay is bigger (Though not
  written by a figure) Than is earned by people
  clever In what's merely self-endeavor. You'll
  have friends instead of neighbors For the
  profits of your labors You'll be richer in the
  end Than a prince, if you're a friend
