Take the ribbon from your hair, Shake it loose and let it fall... Lay it soft against my skin. Like the shadows on the wall... Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light... All I'm takin' is your time. Help me make it through the night...Kris Kristofferson
You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys... You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys... And don't tell me what to do... And don't tell me what to say... And please, when I go out with you... Don't put me on display, 'cause... You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way... You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay... Oh, I don't tell you what to say... I don't tell you what to do... So just let me be myself... That's all I ask of you...

Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan - Come senators, congressmen… Please heed the call… Don't stand in the doorway… Don't block up the hall… For he that gets hurt… Will be he who has stalled… There's a battle outside… And it is ragin'… It'll soon shake your windows… And rattle your walls… For the times they are a-changin'.
Blowin' In The Wing - Bob Dylan - How many years can a mountain exist... Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist... Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head... Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind... The answer is blowin' in the wind.
"If the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another." Winston Churchill
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country... My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."... John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address
Elizabeth Barrett Browning on Love... If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only. Do not say I love her for her smile--her look--her way Of speaking gently,--for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine, and certes brought A sense of ease on such a day-- For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought, May be unwrought so. Neither love me for Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheek dry,-- A creature might forget to weep, who bore Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby! But love me for love's sake, that evermore Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning on Love - How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal... from The Gettysburg Address...November 19, 1853
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America...The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America
The Minute Man
By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled; Here once the embattled farmers stood; And fired the shot heard round the world. The Concord Hymn - 1837
The Power of Love...The whispers in the morning... Of lovers sleeping tight... Are rolling like thunder now... As I look in your eyes... I hold on to your body... And feel each move you make... Your voice is warm and tender... A love that I could not forsake... 'Cause I am your lady... And you are my man... Whenever you reach for me... I'll do all that I can...
Let's make love all night long... Until all our strength is gone... Hold on tight... Just let go... I want to feel you in my soul... Until the sun comes up let's make love...
love your music, Image Hosting Thank you, Caroline, for this widget...
Dancing in the Street...Callin' out around the world... Are you ready for a brand new beat?... Summer's here and the time is right... For dancin' in the street... They're dancin' in Chicago... (In the street)... Down in New Orleans... (Dancin' in the street)... In New York City... All we need is music, sweet music... They'll be music, ev'rywhere... They'll be swing an swayin'... And records playin'... Dancin-a in the street...
---------- Leo the Lion
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder... You get your fill to eat... But always keep that hunger... May you never take one single breath for granted... God forbid love ever leave you empty handed... I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean... Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens... Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance... And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance... I hope you dance... I hope you dance...
