And I Know if I’ll only be true to that glorious quest
That my heart will be peaceful and clam when I’m laid
to my rest.
And the world will be better for this
that one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce
of courage.

God
Everybody plays the fool, some time.
How can you help it, when the music starts to playin’
and your ability to reason just slips away…
I won’t believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You’re always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it’s the same the whole world round.
The hurt I see helps to compound
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebody’s unholy hoax,
And if you’re up there you’ll perceive,
That my heart’s here upon my sleeve.
If theres one thing I dont believe in you… Dear God.
Dear God, XTC

Everybody must get stoned.

*Well, I don’t believe that heaven waits,
For only those who congregate.
I like to think of God as love:
He’s down below, He’s up above.
He’s watching people everywhere.
He knows who does and doesn’t care.
And I’m an ordinary man,
Sometimes I wonder who I am.
But I believe in love.
I believe in music.
I believe in magic.
And I believe in you*
Well, except for the part about being an ordinary man, because I’m a woman.
*I don’t believe that beauty
Will ever be replaced
I don’t believe a masterpiece
Could ever match your face
The joker’s always smiling
In every hand thats dealt
I dont believe that when you die
Your presence isnt felt

And darkness makes me fumble
for a key
to a door
that’s wide open.
-The Police
What an annoying motto that makes for me.
I find that song much more stirring if I imagine the narrator is a man of faith going through a crisis, rather than just an atheist in a fighting mood.
All you need is Love… Bwa pa dah pa dah. Lennon/McCartney
"Free Will " by Rush
Oh, another one. This time from Sir Paul:
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
Beautiful.
