desc :: I've recently found that I am a man of more faith than I gave myself credit. I whole heartedly believe that there exists the possibility for the world to be improved. After all, we're here now. I really love this song. I think it resonates with my best qualities. [46:5:23]

a little motivation

still in my song

To the god by many words to which we refer:
I ask you to allow affection to arise
like a pheonix from ashes of bitter hearts.
Rise from ashes of bitter hearts.

And I ask you to allow
the beauty of the past to merge with the urgency of the now.

CHORUS
I can see my fate before me,
which is why it will befall me.
If I change my heart
and I change my mind,
then I can change what happens... in time.

What I believe in, someday you will feel.
thus you see, my art is made real.

I love beyond reason, and I dream beyond sense,
and extend beyond the limits of my confidence.

The world may change beyond resemblence,
but continue to love with fools avengence.

CHORUS

Don't you dare taint the dreams of your children.
Don't you dare taint the dreams, the dreams of a child.
