Dave Matthews quotes about
If you live life, then you become what are.
Is this not enough? This blessed sip of life Is it not enough? Staring down at the ground Then complain and pray for more from above Greedy little pig
She feels like kicking out all the windows And setting fire to this life She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright But all the colors mix together - to grey
And when you wake, you will fly away, holding tight to the legs of all your angels. Goodbye, my love, into your blue, blue eyes.
Look, here are we on this starry night staring into space, and I must say I feel as small as dust lying down here.
I don't understand at best, I cannot speak for all the rest. But you may find a lifetime's passed you by. Every dog has its day, every day has its way Of being forgotten.
Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around...
I am who I am who I am who am I Requesting some enlightenment Could I have been anyone other than me?
People are not very pro-active in general, I think, because we are too busy rushing blindly towards our own goals.
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding
Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?
The brightest star on a cloudless night Some kind of miracle, almost empty sky... Just as the bite of the blade wakes the absent mind There's time to dream and there's time to open your eyes
It's so hard for me to even acknowledge America without talking about race. If you look at our society, if you look at the prisons, if you look at the poverty and which side of the line the majority of people are, we have to acknowledge how we divide ourselves up, that there's racism alive in this country. And it's not in the law. It's in our minds. And that's what we have to actively battle.
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
