A fire without a flame
A light without a spark
A difference without the same
A fight without the dark

A white without the White
A Iverson without the Ver-sons
A sight without the light
A forearm without err-guns

A plan without a damn
A damn without water
A school without a ram
A scam without bother

A glitch without a sitch-uation
A bitch without a sich
A feature without a bug
A seeker without a rug

A Marriage Without a Wedding
A Water-Malone without a Watermelon
A water-lemon without a melon
A telling without a selling

So let me cast one final spelling:

To hear what I am truly telling
To know what I am truly selling
Stop the noise, stop the yelling
And look into my soul’zsis dwelling

No Way Out (Brother Bear) by Phil Collins (Umer’s Version)

A Way Out (Brother Bear) by Phil Collins (Umer’s Version)

References: Brother Bear Theme Lyrics, Single Version Lyrics

Everywhere I turn, hurting everyone
There’s nothing I can say to change the things I’ve done
I’d do anything within my power
I’d give everything I’ve got
But the Past I seek is hidden from me now

Brother bear, I let you down
You trusted me, believed in me, and I let you down
Of all the things I hid from you, I wish I’d hide the shame
And I wish someone, something will come
To take away all my pain

There’s no way out of this dark place
No hope, no future
I know that I cannot be free
When I can’t see another way
When I can’t face another day

Brother bear, tell me
Where did I go wrong
Everyone I love, is all gone
I do everything so differently
But Can I turn back the time?
There’s no shelter from the storm inside of me
Noooo

There’s no way out this dark place
No hope, no future

Everywhere I turn, I hurt no One
Now THERE’s SOMETHING I can say to change the things I’ve done
Of all the things I hid from you, I will not hide the shame
And I pray someone, somewhere will come
To take away this pain

I know I can be free
But I can see another way
And I can face another day

Now I believe, your words I hear
It’s like an answer to my prayer
When I look around I feel
(Ooo I can see)
This place, this Time, this friend, (this moment)of mine

Though it’s hard, (you) I fell so high
I looked into your heart
And forgived me now
You’ve given me the strength
To see where my journey ends
You’ve given me the strength to carry on

There’s more than one way out,
This dark place
No-oo, more futures
I know III, can be free
Cuz now I see the other ways
Now I see the futures’ days

I see the Past from this dark place
I see my Future
Your Forgiveness has set me Free
And I can see every way
I can face every day
( I see the path)
I can see the Past
(I see the future)
I see the Path from this Dark Place
I see the future (err, err)
I can see the Path

The Best Part of Waking Up (Folgers) by Rockapella (Umer’s Version)

Now we live in the Era of Remakes

So I, too, will use this blog to write my own versions of popular songs and remake other people’s works.

I do not intend any disrespect by this. I hope to appreciate and celebrate other people’s works, and take my own spin on them. I will credit the authors for their original work.

I hope to celebrate, appreciate, and take part in: the Era of Remakes. The Era of Rebirth, if you will.

For although there is something souring about a parody, there’s also something sweet about a remake (even when it’s not a remake, and just uses the same name).

The mythologies of Gods were re-written over centuries, and continue to be remade to this very day. Thus, perhaps we’ve been in the Era of Rebirth since the time of the Ancient Egyptians, or even before then.

This post is dedicated to Deven Verma, who passed away at the age of 77, and Mohammed Yusuf ‘Dilip Kumar‘ Khan who passed away last year on July 7th. These are two actors my mom remembers.
