Too scared to fightToo afraid to open my eyesToo small to stand up for myselfToo awake to fight for my dreamsGod please teach me to be brave So that I can brave defeat

Whenever they say I am outgoing, I say...We must have met on the dance floor

When the days become darkThe nights become coldAnd all there is, is an empty soulBelieve you can escape your plightEven when relief is out of sightDon't you dare give up the fightDon't you dare

A crack on the road does not terminate the journey

You are the greatest treasure if you are your greatest treasure treasure

We were just two broken souls trying to fix one another...Somehow I ended up with a piece of you and you me

In search of that beat that my heart skipped when I first saw your beautiful soul...

Political work is the life-blood of all economic work.

Bad things can happen to anyone at any time, whether you follow the rules or not.

Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

To get along with me, don't increase my tension.
