Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Let life be like music. And death a note unsaid.
Looks like what drives me crazy Don't have no effect on you-- But I'm gonna keep on at it Till it drives you crazy, too.
Road's in front o' me, Nothin' to do but walk.
America never was America to me And yet I swear this oath - America will be!
I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes, but I laugh, and eat well, and grow strong.
Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
LIBERTY! FREEDOM! DEMOCRACY! True anyhow no matter how many Liars use those words.
I am the American heartbreak- The rock on which Freedom Stumped its toe.
We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.
Folks, I'm telling you, birthing is hard and dying is mean- so get yourself a little loving in between.
O, let my land be a land where Liberty Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free, Equality is in the air we breathe.
Democracy will not come Today, this year Nor ever Through compromise and fear.
I stuck my head out the window this morning and spring kissed me bang in the face.
I stay cool, and dig all jive, That's the way I stay alive. My motto, as I live and learn, is Dig and be dug In return.
Life is an egg you have to be patient and careful with it or it will break.
I look at my own body
With eyes no longer blind-
And I see that my own hands can make
The world that's in my mind.
Gather quickly
Out of darkness
All the songs you know
And throw them at the sun
Before they melt
Like snow.
Gather out of star-dust, Earth-dust, Cloud-dust, Storm-dust, And splinters of hail, One handful of dream-dust, Not for sale.
