Under the Same Sun - Scorpions

I saw the morning
It was shattered by a gun
Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
She was praying for her son
Bring him back, let him live, dont let him die

Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a heaven in the sky
Why cant we get it right

cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one

I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died

Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a heaven in the sky
Why cant we stop the fight

cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one

Sometimes I think Im going mad
Were loosing all we had and no one seems to care
But in my heart it doesnt change
Weve got to rearrange and bring our world some love

And does it really matter
If theres a heaven up above
We sure could use some love

cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why cant we live as one
cause we all live under the same sky
We all look up at the same stars
Then why, tell me why cant we live as one

PinkFloyd - HighHopes lyrics

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our troughts strayed constandly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begin

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfuried
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Eneumbered forever by desire and ambition
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road weve been so many time

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

Metallica Nothing Else Matters Lyrics

So close no matter how far
Couldnt be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I dont just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldnt be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I dont just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldnt be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters

Send Me an Angel -Scorpions lyrics

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

Stellant Outside In Text Access C# Interface

I was working now mostly(almost 2 months and not finished yet!!!!) on a fulltext search engine development for our document management system.

Lucene.NET was the underlying search engine using by us.

Our company is now a Oracle Development partner as well!!!!!!!!So all the oracle development tools are available just like the Microsofts.

In that a content access library is there (in C and C++),which would give the text of a file.So that thing is useful for us in the fulltext search engine devlopment.

So last week my main job was to convert the api functions to C#.At first it didnt work for some silly parameters problems.One of my colleagues(asan-sen)just changed that and it was working smoothly now.

So the functions are the following:
[DllImport("sccda.dll",CallingConvention=CallingConvention.Cdecl,CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern uint DAOpenDocument(ref uint hDoc,uint dwSpecType,IntPtr pSpec,uint dwFlags);
[DllImport("sccda.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern uint DACloseDocument(uint hDoc);
[DllImport("sccda.dll",CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern uint DAInit();
[DllImport("sccta.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern uint TAOpenText(uint hDoc, ref uint phText);
[DllImport("sccta.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern uint TACloseText(uint phText);
[DllImport("sccta.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern uint TAReadFirst(uint phText, IntPtr textData, uint bufferSize, ref uint pBufCount);
[DllImport("sccta.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern uint TAReadNext(uint phText, IntPtr textData, uint bufferSize, ref uint pBufCount);
