It’s all so close and yet so far
I see myself as people see me

I wanna know, can you saw me

I wanna know about these strangers like me

Makes me feel like never before
Why do I have?

This growing need to be beside her

Ooo, these emotions I never knew
Of some other world far beyond this place
Beyond the trees, above the clouds

Right now, with you
Take my hand

Do you agree that students are allowed to take cell phones to school? What are the
reasons?
First, they who agree with the idea will certainly say that this is a means of
communication to contact their parents whenever they are needed. It happens especially
to students who are escorted by their parents daily.
