    Right now I'm really digging this...

    "There's no use in crying, it's all over
    But I know there will always be another day
    My heart will rise up with the morning sun
    And the hurt I feel will simply melt away

    You don't have to give up
    Why is it all wrong?
    Why don't you love me?
    Why don't you just be strong?"

    (Why by Fleetwood Mac)

    Sara
    I laid on a dune I looked at the sky
    When the children were babies and played on the beach
    You came up behind me, I saw you go by
    You were always so close and still within reach.

    Sara, Sara
    Whatever made you want to change your mind
    Sara, Sara
    So easy to look at, so hard to define.

    I can still see them playing with their pails in the sand
    They run to the water their buckets to fill
    I can still see the shells falling out of their hands
    As they follow each other back up the hill.

    Sara, Sara
    Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
    Sara, Sara
    Radiant jewel, mystical wife.

    Sleeping in the woods by a fire in the night
    Drinking white rum in a Portugal bar
    Them playing leapfrog and hearing about Snow White
    You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar.

    Sara, Sara
    It's all so clear, I could never forget
    Sara, Sara
    Loving you is the one thing I'll never regret.

    I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
    I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
    Staying up for day in the Chelsea Hotel
    Writing "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.

    Sara, Sara
    Wherever we travel we're never apart
    Sara, Sara
    Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.
    How did I meet you ? I don't know
    A messenger sent me in a tropical storm
    You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
    And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm.

    Sara, Sara
    Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
    Sara, Sara
    You must forgive me my unworthiness.

    Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
    And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore
    You always responded when I needed your help
    You gimme a map and a key to your door.

    Sara, Sara
    Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
    Sara, Sara
    Don't ever leave me, don't ever go.


    Today (majestically sung by Grace of JA:
    Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
    I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine

    A million tomorrows shall all pass away
    Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today

    I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover
    You'll know who I am by the song that I sing
    I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover

    Who cares what the morrow shall bring?

    Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
    I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine

    I can't be contented with yesterday's glory
    I can't live on promises winter to spring (winter to spring)

    Today is my moment and now is my story

    I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing

    Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
    I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
    A million tomorrows shall all pass away
    Ere I forget all the joy that is mi-uh-ine today

    I live for my dreams and pocket full of gold

    from Over the Hills and Far Away by Zeppelin

    The soul intention is learning to fly, condition grounded, determined to try

    from Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd

    You've got a friend

    When you're down and troubled
    And you need some loving care
    And nothin', nnothin' is goin' right
    Close your eyes and think of me
    And soon I will be there
    To brighten up even your darkest night

    You just call out my name
    And you know wherever I am
    I'll come runnin' to see you again
    Winter, spring, summer or fall
    All you have to do is call
    And I'll be there
    You've got a friend

    If the sky above you
    Grows dark and full of clouds
    And that old north wind begins to blow
    Keep your head together
    And call my name out loud
    Soon you'll hear me knockin' at your door

    You just call out my name
    And you know wherever I am
    I'll come runnin', runnin, yeah, yeah,
    to see you again
    Winter, spring, summer or fall
    All you have to do is call
    And I'll be there, yes I will

    Now ain't it good to know
    that you've got a friend
    When people can be so cold
    They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
    And take your soul if you let them
    Oh, but don't you let them.

    You just call out my name
    And you know wherever I am
    I'll come runnin, runnin', yeah, yeah, yeah
    to see you again
    Winter, spring, summer or fall
    All you have to do is call
    And I'll be there, yes I will
    You've got a friend,
    you've got a friend,
    ain't it good to know,
    you've got a friend,
    ain't it good to know,
    ain't it good to know,
    ain't it good to know,
    you've got a friend,
    oh yeah now, you've got a friend,
    yeah baby, you've got a friend,
    oh yeah, you've got a friend.

    Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss
    Another flashing chance at bliss another kiss, another kiss
    The days are bright and filled with pain, enclose me in your gentle rain
    The time you ran was too insane we'll meet again, we'll meet again.
    Oh tell me where your freedom lies, the streets are fields that never die
    Deliver me from reasons why you'd rather cry, I'd rather fly.
    The crystal ship is being filled, a thousand girls, a thousand thrills
    A million ways to spend your time, when we get back I'll drop a line.

    State of the Union by Rise against
    If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity
    We're taking on water and about to fuckin' sink
    No one seems to notice, no one even blinks
    The crew all left the passengers to die under the sea

    [Chorus]
    Countdown, to the very end,
    Equality, an invitation that we wont extend
    Ready aim, pull the trigger now,
    in time you firmly secure your place in hell

    State of the union address,
    reads war torn country still a mess
    the words: power, death, and distorted truth
    are read between the lines of the red, white, and blue

    [Chorus]

    Your place in hell [x2]

    'Guilty' is what our graves will read,
    no years, no family, we did
    nothing (nothing) to stop the murder of
    a people just like us


    [lyrics from http://www.plyrics.com]

    I like it because it's made to make you think.
