Oh yeah. That's why. Like a fairy tale. I was marrying the Prince. I just happened to be in love with the pauper.
We commute to computers; Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors. We survivalists, turned to consumers.
I ignored your aura but it grabbed me by the hand, like the moon pulled the tide, and the tide pulled the sand.
Skip the religion and politics, head straight to the compassion. Everything else is a distraction.
A flower that grow in the ghetto know more about survival than the one from fresh meadows.
When you shine bright, some won't enjoy the shadow you cast.
You gotta get back to your essence, Use your gifts and share your presence, Don't count your dollars 'til you count your blessings.

We should never present flesh as somehow morally distinguishable from dairy. To the extent it is morally wrong to eat flesh, it is as morally wrong - and possibly more morally wrong - to consume dairy
As a songwriter, you're allowed to write anything, and as a person, I am all colors in the rainbow. I've been through everything, you know, so I can write a positive song like 'Better Get to Livin'' because that's my attitude. But that doesn't mean I'm happy all the time. You can't be a deep and serious songwriter without feelings. You kinda have to live with your feelings out on your sleeve and get hurt more than most people. The fear I might get hurt means I might not be able to write another song.
If you're working on better conditions for prisoners, if you make that a popular issue and you invite mainstream media to weigh in on that subject, you're going to end up with a much more regressive public-policy environment than if you approach it in a quieter way. It's not because the public is stupid, it's just that people with only a cursory interest in something are going to have a knee-jerk reaction to it. That's impossible to explain in a cable-news media. . . it doesn't make sense.
