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.

Window Into Your Future

There comes a moment in your life, like a window and you see your future there before you and how perfect life can be. But adventure calls with unknown voices pulling you away.

Sit Down and Talk

When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they were always gonna have to do from the very beginning. Sit down and talk.

Before I Learned to Stand

I had to fall before I learned to stand up. If you can crawl then you can stand up, keep your head up. I've been let down but I've got some hope in disguise. I'll make it through all these colds days, even if I gotta stay inside. You know the sun's finally rising.
