And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly...



A few lines actually. Forgive me.

Reading everyone's favorite lyrics is seriously giving me chills!!
I personally like this one best: "I wonder ’bout his insides. It’s like his thoughts are too big for his size..."

Whatever the nations leced in your prayers...

Leced means what? I looked up the word in the dictionary, it said the word meant an ameboa plant!

then i looked at the origin of the word, and one old english translation said it meant cloak. So how smart Eddie is!

So, what does leced mean in the context of the song to you?

Thanks!

Peace
Shannon

Just wanted to say that when ever I need a little push I love to click on this thread and then a random page. It usually gives me some help if I need it.

Up here so high the sky I scrape
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
Baby got it, still got it
She holds the hand that holds her down...
She will... rise above...

I didn't read thru them all so I'm sure I'm repeating, but:

"If he can't sleep how will he ever dream"

"The wisdom that the old can't give away"

"Every inch between us becomes light years now"
Will myself to find a home, a home within myself.
We will find our way, we will find our place.

That is soooo hard to choose. But if I had to, right now at this very moment, I would say:

Paint a picture visions only grey
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long.

But then, I would probably say the whole of 'hard to imagine'!
And probably every other song :):)
Light your pillow lay back watch the flames

I only want life.... to be...
I just want to be...
I will feel alive... as long as I am free...


I had a false belief
I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking like waves
The oceans made me, but who came up with love?
...So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
It's growing up just like me.
