And if my mind breaks up In all so many ways I know the meaning of The words, "I love you
Now I'm not making love to anyone's wishes, Only for that light I see 'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave, That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me
Will you carry the words of love with you?
But when it comes to being loved, she's first/That's how I know The first cut is the deepest.
Love heats my blood, blood spins my head, and my head falls in love.
I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, but I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry.
I'm a little bit out of it, I suppose; I'm more of the golden oldie type.
Peace Train is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions of human beings.
I enjoy life. I think I'll enjoy death even more. Life is too confusing.
It seems to be the easiest thing in the world these days to make scurrilous accusations against Muslims, and in my case it directly impacts on my relief work and damages my reputation as an artist. The harm done is often difficult to repair.
Man may live and man may die searching for the question why. But if he tries to rule the sky, he must fall.
I'm gonna get me a gun, all those people who put me down you better get ready to run.
If I ever loose my eyes, I won't have to cry no more.
Oh God! If you save me I will work for you.
