what if I fall? oh, my darling, but if you fly?

There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?"Oh but my darling, What if you fly?

There are ghosts of yourself scattered everywhere, Whispers of a moment suspended in time, Where every life that you've brushed up againstNow lives with a piece of you trapped in their mind.

Because the birdsong might be pretty, But it's not for you they sing, And if you think my winter is too cold, You don't deserve my spring.

It's not the endings that will haunt youBut the space where they should lie, The things that simply fadedWithout one final wave goodbye.

My mother always told meNo monster lived beneath my bed, But she had failed to warn meIt laid on top of it instead.

Your blindness to my downfall, Has gone too far to be a joke, As I stand ablaze before you, And you tell me you smell smoke.

Don't ever think you're alone here, We've just been trapped in different hells, And people aren't against you dear, They're just all for themselves.

YOU are important. You are special. You are loved. GOD has a plan for your life! Find out what it is and you'll experience a depth of fulfillment you never thought possible.

If you run fast enough, you can still catch those dreams. Don't give up yet!

When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do.

Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.

Fear is that thing that keeps you up there on that other plateau. Fear is that thing that just keeps you closed down, and quite frankly, alone.

There never was a winner that didn't expect to win in advance.

I wanna be loved by you, just you, nobody else but you.

I'm amazed at what I have taken for granted. How to truly take in our situation I don't know, but I wish I had started asking myself that question earlier than I did.

What else can you expect from a town thats shut off from the world by the ocean on one side and New Jersey on the other?

Hour by hour, day by day, life becomes possible.
