It
was this song that sparked my interest to learn English. “Lean on me”, its theme was as inspiring as its title. It was the vehicle taking me all way along to see the
beauty of English language. I learnt from the song that it was very natural to
come across sorrow and sadness in our lives. But if we could look at all the
frustrations in a long term, they would add up to be our greatest treasure.
Recently,
I also learnt that its singer Bill Withers wrote this song after he moved from
West Virginia to Los Angeles and missed his original hometown community’s
strong ethic. It served as an ideological inspiration for my time abroad and it reminded
me to stay calm and carry on.
Most
importantly, this song not only encouraged me when I was down, but also stirred
me to be the sunlight in midnight to encourage others when they were in the dark,
to give them warmth and hope. I believe that “where there is life, there is
hope”.
