i know we never will be perfect
never entirely clear
we get hurt and we just panic
and we strike out, out of fear
i feel the sentance of this solitude
200 years on hold
oh and all we ever wanted
was just to come in from the cold

Joni Mitchell

The choice is yours
No matter what it is
To choose life is to choose to forgive
You don't have to try
or hurt him and break his pride
Just shake that weight off
And you'll be ready to fly

One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
No one has the power to hurt you like your friends
Thought it would never change but as time moved on
That ugly duckling grew up to be a swan
And now your chest burns and your back aches
Because now the years are showing up on your face
But you'll never be happy
And you'll never be whole
Until you see the beauty in growing old

you can fly fly fly fly...
you can live or you can die
you know that life is a choice you make
you can give or you can take

Get it together
You wanna heal your body?
Get it together
You have to heal your heart
Whatsoever you sow you will reap
Get it together

India Arie
