the un-understood language

42-15512298

Love in any language
Je T'aime(french), Te Amo(spanish),
Ya Tyibya Lyubluy(russian phonetic),
Ani Ohevet Othaka (hebrew), I Love you,
the sounds are all as different
as the lands from which they came,
and though our words are all unique,
Our hearts are still the same

Love in any Language,
straight from the Heart,
Pulls us all Together never apart,
and once we learn to speak it all the world will hear,
Love in any Language Fluently spoken here.

We teach the young our differences, yet look how we're the same
we love to laugh to dream our dreams, we know the sting of pain
from Lenningrad to Lexington, the farmer loves His Land,
and Daddies all get misty eyed to give their daughter's hand
Oh, Maybe when we realize how much there is to share
we'll find too much in common to pretend it isn't there
though the rhetoric of government may keep us worlds apart,
there's no misinterpreting the language of the Heart

Love in any language Fluently spoken here.

after the giants

bigfoot

Will we ever be able to fill the shoes of those that have walked before us?
And will those that come behind us continue the legacy we might leave?

Find us faithful- Steve Green
We're pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

Chorus:
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift though all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

the beautiful and the ugly

There can be much beauty in the souls of those that build the ugly.

You are who you model.
You are who you are mentored by.

You are where you keep your treasures.
You are where your convictions dwell.

You are what you eat.
You are what you believe.

You are why some have gone ahead of you.
You are why you decide to choose the road less travelled.

You are when you love
you are when you love only yourself.

You are which you choose.
You are which you reject.

You are how you live your life.
You are how you are.

its how you see things, really

It's how you see things, really.

Sometimes it's up when its down.
Sometimes it's right when its left.
Sometimes it's in when its out.
Sometimes it's full when its empty.
Sometimes it's ugly when its beautiful.
Sometimes it's known when its unknown.
Sometimes it's half done when its complete.
Sometimes it's peaceful when there's war.
Sometimes it's perfect when its marred by flaws.
Sometimes it's yours when you let it go.

Perspective

Its how you see things, really.

the friendship truth

What a hypocritical world we live in.
To love with one side of your heart and curse with the other side of your soul. To share words of inspiration and hope in the same breath as you destroy your brother. To espound the sacred, the holy and the good as you celebrate the debase and the profane. To ask for Truth and Justice when you practice none. To demand perfection when it is a standard by which you have never held yourself against. To claim to build lives and futures when the bricks you use are faulty and beyond repair. To offer to show the way when you are still groping in the dark.

What a hypociritcal world we live in.
What exciting times of change and revalations.
What extraordinary times for the extra and the ordinary.

Beware those you call your friends, for sometimes friends are just enemies who have no guts to kill you. Yet.

Rie thanks her good friends.
You know who you are.
Sorry I ran into your knife.
The wounds are still fresh, but they are healing.

I believe in Patience. I believe in Giving. I believe in Miracles. I believe in Consicentiousness. I believe in Luck. I believe in Passion. I believe in Purpose. I believe in Sharing. I believe in Justice. I believe in Respect. I believe in Individuality. I believe in Beauty. I believe in Happiness. I believe in Karma. I believe in a lot of things.

I just don't believe in you.


Iris: Goo Goo Dolls
And i'd give up forever to touch you
cause i know that you feel me somehow,
you're the closest to heaven that i'll ever be
and i don't want to go home right now
and all i can taste is this moment
and all i can breathe is your life
when sooner or later it's over
i just don't wanna miss you tonight

And i don't want the world to see me,
cause i don't think that they'd understand
when everything's made to be broken,
i just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,
or the moments of truth in your lies
when everything feels like the movies,
yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
