• I felt, that night, on that stage, under that skull, incredibly close to everything in the universe, but also extremely alone.

• I will be the answer, At the end of the line, I will be there for you, While you take the time, In the burning of uncertainty, I will be your solid ground, I will hold the balance, If you can't look down. If it takes my whole life, I won't break, I won't bend, It will all be worth it, Worth it in the end, Cause I can only tell you what I know, That I need you in my life, When the stars have all gone out, You'll still be burning so bright...

• At some point, we have each said through our tears, “I’m suffering for a love that’s not worth it.” We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules. But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth.

  Paulo Coelho

• I used to dream
  I used to glance beyond the stars
  Now I don't know where we are
  although I know we've drifted far
  What about yesterday
  What about the seas
  The heavens are falling down
  I can't even breathe
  What about the bleeding Earth
  Can't we feel its wounds
  What about nature's worth?
  It's our planet's womb.
