From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
(I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I
(I'm alive)

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
(I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
(When nobody died)
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
(When nobody died)
We'd see the day
(When nobody died)

Humans. We are the top of the food chain, We are Leaders, soldiers, criminals, friends, families, enimies, and citizens. But do we deserve what we have created? We have proven ourselves to be intelligent, creative, and loving. But what else are we? We burn down the forests that are keeping us alive, we steal from our friends, neighbors, and communities. We lie, we fight, we hate. Do we really deserve all of this power? With all the war that we have created, we should be at the bottom of the world. Know who deserves to be on top? Canines. They are fun-loving, kind, and have proven their bravery and loyalty throughout history. A dog will stick by his master, regardless of his wealth, staus, or power. I think we could all learn a valuable lesson from an animal that is so common, yet so extrordinary.  I have learned life isnt fair, but maybe, just maybe, if it wasnt humans that were leading, maybe it would be.

Name:Velocity{Vi}

Age:young adult

Gender:female

Breed:German Shepherd Dog

Stray or housedog?Stray

History?(optional):Vi used to have a loving home, where she was pampered and cherished. She was living a life fit for a queen, until her master disappeared one day. Other humans kept coming in and out of her house, wearing dark colors and making what could only be described to a young doh as a whimpering noise. They seemed sad, and Velocity in turn felt sad. For a few days at a time, nobody would feed her. After a while, when they tried to take her way, something clicked in the two year old dogs head, her master was never coming home. So she refused to leave with these people. She loved her master and would never let another human take care of her.

Name:Torque

Age:Young adult

Gender:male

Breed:American Pit Bull Terrier

Stray or housedog?Stray

History?(optional):born on the street, Torque learned how to be tough fast. But deep down, he always longed to have a human to call his own. He keeps up his bad-boy appearence not to scare people off, but to see who would try and reach out to him. But, the longer he acted tough and mean, the more it became who he was. Now, most people avoid him, but some still throw him food and pet him as the walk by. Those are the people he longs to love, but as time goes by, he gets less and less food, and fewer pats. And other strays keep getting more and more agressive. THe more he fights, the more it seems like there is a monster inside him, trying to break loose and take him over, and he knows that if life keeps going on the same as it is now, one day it will take over and he will become the monster he always hated, and he will never find a home.

Personality or Themesong: When Somebody Loved Me

Crush//Mate: Looking

"Bye girl. Be good while I'm gone." Sage licked her master's hand by way of goodbye and he closed the front door behind him. The spaniel stared at the door for a minute or so, just to make sure he wouldn't return for another lick or two, then trotted out the the back door and through her dog gate onto the front porch to have breakfast.

There, she discovered a rather fluffy vaccum cleaner munching franticly at the small bowl of kibble next to her own. "Hunting not going so well, eh? If you don't slow down you'll make yourself sick." Maxi ignored her and continued crunching, his feathered tail waving merrily behind him. Sage smiled and sat next to the papillon. "You know if you just stayed here with me you could have three square meals a day. Jordan wouldn't mind. He thinks you're adorable -and you won't have to starve for days at a time."

 The little dog swallowed the last of his meal and licked his chops. "Not for me freckles. You know my luck with families. Long as he's up for keeping a champion hunter like me going on his bad days though, I don't mind letting him ruffle my fur every so often." Sage chucked and began leisurely munching her own breakfast. Maxi was halfway adopted already, but there was no convincing the little dog to put down roots. She imagined he still missed his old family, even though he didn't show it, and that chosing a new home meant giving up searching for them.

It was a nice day though, and with the sun rising she imagined she might get a visit from a neighbor or two.

((Oops XP))

Akila layed down next to Rodeo. "So, what are we going to do now that Jessie and Annabell are gone?"She asked step- brother.

Rodeo looked down at the floor. He had his ears cocked so was his neck. "I don't know, Aki."He said.

Skye rand down the quiet street at a fast pace, just to feel the wind blowing through her fur. Her paws clicked on the concrete as she enjoyed her simple pleasure in life. Speed. She wasnt even paying attention when she barreled headfirst into a solid m*censored* of muscle.

Cobalt spun to face Skye and snarled viciously, rasing his head up menacingly as the other dog shrunk lower and lower to the ground. Skye whined low in her throat. Cobalt bared his teeth, "what do you think your doing?" he asked, his deep voice quiet, yet terrifying.

"Cobalt!" another voice called from a short distance away. A Black German Shepherd stepped into view. Her coat glistened in the morning lightand she look pround and magnificent, "its not like she purposely ran into you!" she scolded. Cobalt just growled at her.

"Mind your own business Velocity. This doesnt concern you, But if you want it to, it could." he threatened, turning his head to face Vi. His fur bristled and his muscles were tense.

"Bring it Cobalt, I'm not afraid of you." Velocity retorted. her voice was sharp as a razors edge. She tood a step forward and Cobalt took a step back.

"you should be." he said." before turning around and slipping away in silence. He slunk to the park and lay down underneath some bushes, he's show Velocity. The other dog may be a good fighter, but he was larger and had more experience. His tail thumped with satisfaction at the thought of cutting velocity's ego down to size.

-

Velocity brought her attention to Skye, "hey you okay?" she asked. Skye nodded, but she was shaking too much to talk, "That was Cobalt, hes just a bully. But he really doesnt like to fight, so I don't know why he's so mean." she said, shaking her head. She sat on her haunches and scratched one ear, "I'm Velocity by the way, but you can call me Vi."

Skye stood up shakily, "nice to meet you Vi." she said, growing slightly more cinfident, "I'm skye, I live on a farm not far from town." she said, nodding her head in the direction of her home.

"A good ol' farm dog eh?" Vi thumped her tail on the ground, "well I'm just your regulat old stray, I come and go as I please!" she said with a laugh.

Torque lay on a steet corner, enjoying the sunshine that beat down on his back. He yawned, revealing his shapr teeth. This is the life. he thought to himself, Fed from the back door of an Italian restraunt, then walking out front, and laying down near the door and getting patted by the people who come in. It was the closest thing to a home he had, and he had made it hsi daily routine to visit Pistachio's, a small Italian resturant in town, and getting fed, then laying out front, it had been almost two months since he picked up this routine, and since then, he went from underweight, scrany street dog, to muscular, well fed dog.

"shouldnt you be chasing your tail?" Sky teased Maxi, she wagged her tail when she saw Sage, "It has been too long hasnt it? This is Vi, I just met her. She glanced at the Shepherd, "are you thirsty?" she asked.

Vi wagged her tail, "thanks, I'm parched." she barked.(haha fail XD)

((random question, is Sage's yard fenced in?))
