She thinks, "Hey, How did I come to this? I dream myself a thousand times around the world, But I can't get out of this place"
If you hold on tight to what you think is your thing you may find you re missing all the rest
Out of the darkness comes light like a flash You think you can, you think you can Sometimes that is the problem Dream little darling dream
Oh look at how she listens She says nothing of what she thinks She just goes stumbling through her memories Staring out on to Grey Street
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
I don't think everything is going to get peachy ever. But I think we have to fight for what we believe in.
I don't think socialism, and I don't think warmness and respect are necessarily bad words.
I think I am a very kind person. I think I'm joyful, but I could be kinder and I could be more joyful. I do believe peace is a state of grace, and not the absence of violence.
Sitting still as stone watching - watching People walking by you wondering why No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it - if they ever did
I don't believe in trickle-down economics. I don't think that people who have the most are inclined to share it, generally.
People are not very pro-active in general, I think, because we are too busy rushing blindly towards our own goals.
We spend a lot of time bickering at great cost, and very little time actually coming up with solutions. And I think we misuse our ambition for our own gains and rarely for the betterment of ourselves, and people around us and our environment. And I think that's sort of pathetic and desperate.
I guess, and it may be a flaw, that I think about rhythm more [than anything else]. I'm always wanting to find something unusual. I've started to try and write more traditionally, but for whatever reason, I tend toward trying to find something that sounds more like a pattern to me.
I don't feel like I'm standing in a position where I have some right above other people to say what I think. We should all be talking to each other about what we think is important - whether we're in politics, or whether we're checking out at a grocery store. We shouldn't put walls up between each other.
