Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

James Taylor

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.

Living in the Limelight,
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.

Living in a fisheye lens,
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie,
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.

All the world's indeed a stage,
And we are merely players,
Performers and portrayers,
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage.

Is there really such a thing as freedom?
If you could do anything in the world what would you do?
Why havenÂ’t you?

If you say your not, you never will be.
If you take a stand, you might as well be.

are often the hardest and intangible
thing to learn in life.

insight more valuable than both gold
and diamonds combined."

All a man needs to be free of his butt for life is to kiss it goodbye just once- and survive.

Gary E. Holland

There's an old quote that goes something like "it's too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy shining shoes and pumping gas." The real shame is that our country is being run by people who have never shined their own shoes or pumped their own gas in their entire lives.
