it would be we're all okay,

Light does the darkness most fear.

My legs are not skinny as sticks,

You're so shallow.

Gather yourself by the sea shore and I will love you there.
Assemble yourself with wild things,

For I long for a man with nests of wild things in his hair.
A man who will Kiss the Flame.

and I'm willing.

You always feel better when you sing.
Music touches people's hearts.

it just moves you and it will let you cry.
It's worth it doing a show
and when you touch a crowd
and move yourself at the same

We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.
If you think like that, you surround yourself with
other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
