• When you face adversity . . . don't' ask: Why does this have to happen to me? Why do I have to suffer this, now? What have I done to cause this? Rather ask: What am I to do?

• Maybe tomorrow is counting on me
  To learn my lessons today
  I'll start by taking a step at a time
  And stop throwing my blessings away
  I'll get myself up and I'll brush myself off
  And take back some of the pride that I've lost
  'Cause you can't always keep your feet on the ground
  I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down

• Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
  Can't we give ourselves one more chance
  Why can't we give love that one more chance
  Why can't we give love
  Cause love's such an old fashioned word
  and love dares you to care for
  The people on the edge of the night
  And love dares you to change our way of
  Caring about ourselves
  This is our last dance
  This is our last dance
  This is ourselves
  Under pressure

  Freddie Mercury

• If you can give it, I can take it
  'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it
  I know tonight, somebody's gonna win the fight
  So if you're so tough, come on and prove it
  Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
  Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
  Just like Jesse James
