Bon or Bön (Tibetan: བོན་, Wylie: bon [pʰø̃̀(n)]) is a branch of Tibetan Vajrayana.
The history of Bon is difficult to clearly ascertain because the earliest surviving documents referring to the religion come from the 9th and 10th centuries, well after Buddhists began the suppression of indigenous beliefs and practices. Moreover, historian Per Kværne notes that "Bon" is used to describe three distinct traditions:
However, other scholars do not accept the tradition that separates Bon from Buddhism; Christopher Beckwith calls Bon "one of the two types of Tibetan Buddhism" and writes that "despite continuing popular belief in the existence of a non-Buddhist religion known as Bon during the Tibetan Empire period, there is not a shred of evidence to support the idea... Although different in some respects from the other sects, it was already very definitely a form of Buddhism."
Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, recognizes the Bon tradition as the sixth principal spiritual school of Tibet, along with the Nyingma, Sakya, Kagyu, Gelug and Jonang schools of Buddhism, despite the long historical competition between the Bon tradition and Buddhism in Tibet.
Peter Arne Jöback (born June 4, 1971 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish singer and musical artist, and is regarded as being one of Sweden's best male vocalists[citation needed].
Cameron Mackintosh discovered Peter Jöback’s talent and offered him the lead as Chris in Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London’s West End in 1997. Three years later at the same theatre, Jöback created the role of Michael in Macintosh’s original production of The Witches of Eastwick.

The musical was seen by over one million Swedes and the original cast CD-box became a triple-platinum album and received several Swedish Grammy awards. Jöback received his first Golden Mask for his role as Robert.

Ohhh oooo!
The dance hall has to ram, the dance hall has to ram
It has to ram in a style and fashion
The nation has to jam, the nation has to jam
We gonna jam in a style and pattern
Because is I, Papa Winnie, on the microphone stand
The people doesn't know where I really come from
Me tall, me no short, me slim, me not fat
And everytime I rap, me say the crowd hear me say
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You never know, Dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
You are the woman, and I am the man
And everything we do, jah knows we do it real strong
We are just modeling up the dance hall, in a style and fashion
Me and my girl, her name is Liana
The talk of the town, is that we have two babies, twins
One of them fat and one of them slim
We call them Rootsie, Rootsie,
Rootsie and Boopsie, Rootsie, Rootsie, Rootsie and Boops
You are my sunshine...
Sufferation in the land, sufferation in the land
Killing all my natian Lord I can't understand
Famine in the land, tribulation getting strong
They always have a plan to fool we Africans
Creating war in the East

And war inthe South
If love were a thing that money can buy
The rich man would live, and the poor man would die

Rain from the sky
Tears in your eyes
Put a little light in your heart
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Hush darling don't you cry
Face reality in this time
Sitting in the morning sun
watching all the birds go by
Oh how I wish I could fLy
Put your little hand in mine
There ain't no mountain
high enough
there ain't no mountain we
cannot climb
Bridge How many times I've seen
Tears coming from your blue eyes
Rain and tears are the same
but in the sun you got to play
the game
When you cry in winter time
you can pretend
it's nothing but the rain
In winter, spring summer, fall
All you got to do is call
There a rainbow at the end
of every storm
Both sign of love and me say
Both sign of Life
It's like a message coming straight
from above
Rain from the sky
Tears in your eyes
Cool cool runings I say
Tomorrow is another day
Put your troubles all away
Don't worry you are never alone
Bridge So give me an answer of love
I need an answer of love of love
Rain and tears are the same...
Rain and tears both are shown
for in my heart there never be the sun
When you cry in winter time
You can pretend it's nothing but the rain
All of my heart
Can I give you more than
All of my heart
I wanne be with you
All of my heart
You make me feel I love you
more and more
I don't wanne miss you
All of my heart
Can I give you more than
-All of my heart -
All of my heart
I wanne be with you
- All of my heart -
All of my heart
You make me feel I love you
more and more
- more and more -
I'll give you just all of my heart
of my heart
All of my heart
Of my heart
When the sunshine fills my hair
- we're walking in the sand -
I got to know Life can be paradise
We were walking on the beach
it's more than...affection
When I say "I love you"
How could I resist your smile
- When you are by my side -
No one else can ever take your place
Don't you feel the same way, too
I cannot live without you
We are made for each other
All of my heart...
Let me take you in my arms
- You belong to me -
My love is stronger than the universe
Two hearts are painted in the sand
Oh, life can be so easy
When you're by my side
Looking back you realised
- We're walking in the sand -
When you need me I will be around
Every single word you said
Is only like a promise of tomorrow
not only for one summer
Don't let the sadness put you down /
You better think of a song /
To lead you on I Make a brighter day /
When the darkness covers your heart /
Don't be afraid of the dark /
Open your heart/
You can make a brand new day/
Let the lovelight of your heart/
Let it shine for everyone /
And make a wish for a new day to come someday, new day /
Open your eyes /
For a brighter day /
And we know that, we know someday, new day /
Open your heart /
Sing it loud and clear because love is a song /
That we know, and we know that / When the evening starts tofall /
The yellow moon in the sky is shining so bright it shines for evoryone/
In the morning when I arise /
I see the sun on my right /
I'm feeling so high prepared for a brand new day /
Let the lovelight of your heart /
Let it shine for everyone /
Make a wish for a new day to come someday... /
Make a wish for a new day to come someday someday /
Make a wish for a new day to come someday, someday/
Make a wish for a new day to come /
For a brighter day, for a brighter day /
Make a wish for a newday to come someday /
Let the lovelight of your heart /
Let it shine for everyone /
And make a wish for a new day to come /
