The tree of life is growing where the spirit never dies, and the bright light of salvation shines in dark and empty skies.
I was headed for the fantastic lights. No doubt about it. Could it be that I was being deceived? Not likely. I don't think I had enough imagination to be deceived; had no false hope, either.

I think he's one of the greatest songwriters of all time,'' Parton says.
Johnny was and is the North Star. You could guide your ship by him.
