Remember the Love

How do you measure the life of a woman or a man? In truths that she learned or in times that he cried. In bridges he burned or the way that she died. It's time now to sing out though the story never ends. Let's celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends. Remember the love.

The Shimmering of Passion

The one thing I am now sure of is that if there is such a thing as destiny, it is a result of our passion, be that for money, power, or love. Passion, for better or worse. It can keep a soul alive even if all that survives is a shimmering.

Never Missed a Christmas

Now if we had the power to bring our neighbors home from war, they would have never missed a Christmas no more ribbons on their door. When you trust your television what you get is what you got because when they own the information they can bend it all they want. We keep waiting on the world to change. It's hard to beat the system when we're standing at a distance. It's not that we don't care, we just know that the fight ain't fair. 

John Mayer in "Waiting on the World to Change"
