I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you

There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything

where heading for the day of blessings I'm telling ya,
It's all building up to something,
Something that's opening beginning with fire
So give love and keep blood between brothers

deep as any ocean
sweet as any harmony...

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

...Hidden behind the wall
  hidden behind the screen
   things are happening

she is running ev-ry-thing...

..I try to open my eyes
I try to open my ears
I try to see with my heart
I feel it flooded with fear...

There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
And I'm frightened by those that don't see it

Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

~ One, U2

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
 
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get thereFor I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
 
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

~ The Hollies

Throw down the sword
The fight is done and over
Neither lost, neither won
To cast away the fury of the battle
And turn my weary eyes for home

There were times when I stood at death's own door
Only hoping for an answer

Throw down the sword
And leave the glory
A story time can never change
To walk the road, the load I have to carry
A journey's end, a wounded soul

There were times when I stood at death's own door
Only searching for an answer

And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

Any heart could burst its shell
Love is made for broken things
Bring your hands to know me well
Know my heart for what it sings

This garden universe vibrates complete
Some may get a sound so sweet
Vibrations reach on up to become light
And then through gamma, out of sight

Between the eyes and ears there lie
The sounds of color and the light of a sigh
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe

But it's all around if we could but perceive
To know ultra violet, infra-red and X-rays
Beauty to find in so many ways

Two notes of the chord, that's our full scope
But to reach the chord is our life's hope
And to name the chord is important to some
So they give a word and the word is Om

Some would say that we forced our words
And we find that ingenuously churlish.
Words are just words.
Don't be so pessimistic, weak and girlish.
We like strong, happy people
Who don't think there's something wrong with pride,
Work makes them free
And we spread that freedom far and wide.

...And they all pretend they're orphans
And their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can't remember
Tell the things you can't forget that
History puts a saint in every dream...
