Dave Matthews quotes about
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
Don't lose the dreams inside your head They'll only be there until you're dead Dream
Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set Spot in the middle Static fade, statistic bit And soon I fade away, fade away
I think we should all talk to our enemies and talk to our friends. Talk! That's the only way we'll find solutions.
We've never played at this place before. This place is big, and I'm kinda nervous, so we're going to make it feel small by pretending we're in a... bedroom. We'll hang off the edge of the bed, take off our shoes and get naked!
So I wonder this, as life billows smoke inside my head This little game where nothing is sure Why would you play by the rules? Who did? You did. You...
Because life is short but sweet for certain We're climbing two by two To be sure these days continue These things we cannot change
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes, but I'll work it out...
So the story goes, so I'm told The people he knew were Less than golden hearted Gamblers and robbers Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers Like you and me
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
People in every direction No words exchanged No time to exchange And all the little ants are marching Red and black antennas waving They all do it the same We all do it the same way
Why won't you run in the rain and play, let the tears splash all over you?
You seek up a big monster for him to fight your wars for you.
Being a white South African, I enjoyed the better things that that country gave to a small percentage of its population.
