Adam's Peak
Adam's Peak (also Sri Pada; Sinhalese Samanalakanda - සමනළ කන්ද "Butterfly Mountain"; Arabic Al-Rohun, and also ශ්රී පාදය "Sri Paadaya"; Tamil Sivanolipatha Malai - சிவனொளி பாதமலை), is a 2,243 m (7,359 ft) tall conical mountain located in central Sri Lanka. It is well known for the Sri Pada, i.e., "sacred footprint", a 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) rock formation near the summit, which in Buddhist tradition is held to be the footprint of the Buddha, in Hindu tradition that of Shiva and in Islamic and Christian tradition that of Adam, or that of St. Thomas.

My Way To You
by: Sara PadillaIm standing here all alone in this place
Thinking why aren't you here in my arms taking the pain away
Why can't i seem to find, my way to you?
I never thought i would say i miss you
Leaving my pride to the side, every thought just draws me back to you
Why can't i seem to find, my way to you?
I wont take this pain anymore
I have blamed myself all along
For the mess we've made trying to forget
I'll still wait for you everyday, every night of my life
Till i have you again.
Dont ever go away
I'm thinking of you and me once again
Wondering if i'll be next to you in your dreams
Just take my hand so we can runaway
(bridge)
I knew you'd pretend that it was all okay
I knew you'd pretend that everythings the same
