Sometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.

When you have everything, you have everything to lose.

To go through this life and see it through - what it really is - and not be insane or addicted, is a minor miracle for anyone.
Ben Harper
Image
The lifetime we've left behind with strangers Promises and lies both have their dangers. I just can't be wrong enough and I can't hide for long enough So far away, but I still feel your pain.

A candle throws its light into the darkness, in a nasty world so shines a good deed. Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.

Let us burn one from end to end, and pass it over to me my friend.
Ben Harper

Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.

When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken, Dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk.
