“All I insist on, and nothing else, is that you should show the whole world that you are not afraid. Be silent, if you choose; but when it is necessary, speak—and speak in such a way that people will remember it.”

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.

Kahlil Gibran – Sand & Foam

The understanding attributes to me understanding and the dull, dullness. I think they are both right.

Kahlil Gibran – Sand & Foam

“When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.”

Josh Groban You Raise Me Up – lyrics by Brendan Graham

If you have no voice, scream; if you have no legs, run; if you have no hope, invent.

Alegria
I see a spark of life shining
Alegria
I hear a young minstrel sing
Alegria
Beautiful roaring scream
Of joy and sorrow,
So extreme
There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous,
Magical feeling

Many nights we’ve prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts, a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there’s much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could, oh yes

There can be miracles when you believe

A candle
Can illuminate the night
A smile
Can build an empire
And nobody believes in it,
But love makes a fool turn into a king

They say, there’s a universal plan
For every woman for every man
I do believe, there’s a higher power
But in our darkest hour
It’s hard to understand
So we start to question
Start to doubt
We lose faith in what life’s all about

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
the memory of love will bring you home

Deep within each heart
There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
The strength of just ” I can ”
Has brought together people of all nations

There’s nothing ordinary
In the living of each day
There’s a special part
Every one of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us its best
