"It is as if stories bond people together and allow each individual to better comprehend what their place is in the world, and how their place holds everything else together."

What the different know

I have been finding myself singing this song.

The Different
by Melissa Etheridge

You've never been to the moon
But don't you want to go
Under the sea in the volcano
You've never looked into my eyes
But don't you want to know
What the dark and the wild
And the different know

Come dance with me now
We'll dance without a care
I'm as free as a fire
And change is in the air
There are some things in my life
I'll never understand
But they become the force
That makes me who I am

Don't you worry about the kids
The kids are all right
Mamas rollin in the back yard
Filled with love and light
cause you live and you learn
And you learn to hold on
And time will make it heal
And time will make it gone

Come with me now
Come with me now
It's time to try
It's time to fly

No comments:





Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
