If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.
If I'm inspired and music inspires me, then I will continue to play it.
With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?
I knew a girl, her name was Truth. She was a terrible liar.
You're living life in real time, man, and we' ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you're going to step out and you're going to make mistakes.
My head works in music, so there's always music there.
The very thing that drives you, can drive you insane Got a head full of thought crimes and a number with no name Got an eleventh hour Jesus and a mouth full of blame A casket lined with silver dollars and a number with no name.
Some things You have to let be lost Some battles, some battles You have to leave unfought. Then the truth just wastes away In all we dare not say. And in all we can't explain But I faithfully remain.
Genetics do play a role in how you consciously or subconsciously manifest your true self.
Could've sworn I heard you say Amen this morning, showing some kind of sign that you believe. Did it fall from your tongue without warning? Or just another trick to fall from your sleeve?
All that we can't say is all we need to hear.
When you hear Doc Watson singing Amazing Grace, something else enters the room.
When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken, Dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk.
Distance is temporary, but our love is permanent. This may be the last time I see you, but if you keep me in your heart, together we shall be eternal; if you believe, we shall never part.
