Read the excerpt of the lyrics again with the help of teacher. And try to imagine the life of the author: his family, childhood, education, career, as well as his desire for life. Lonely, my life used to be lonely Lonely as the single lonely number one Lonely like a lonely sun With not even one iota(极小量) to shine upon Crying, deep inside I was crying Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed Carrying with it my lonely soul With not even a clue of who, Where or what I would become Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody To hold me, control me, show me what I should Do with my broken life But oh, was I lifted when I let our light Inside my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you In my, my, my, my life I’m dancing to the rhythm of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Giving all praises of your sweet, sweet love Forever grateful for your love Pre-Reading Activities
