Tears and fears and feeling proud to say 'I love you' right out loud.
You know that it never has been easy/ Whether you do or do not resign/ Whether you travel the breadth of the extremities/ Or stick to some straighter line.
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels/ The dizzy dancing way you feel/ As every fairy tale comes real/ I've looked at love that way.
I remember that time you told me, you said""Love is touching souls."" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. You're in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet.
I remember that time you told me, you said "Love is touching souls." Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. You're in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet.
And the seasons, they go round and round,/ And the painted ponies go up and down./ We're captive on the carousel of time.
Say, won't you stay; we'll put on the day and we'll talk in present tenses
I want to have fun. I want to shine like the sun. I want to be the one that you want to see. I want to knit you a sweater. I want to write you a love letter. I want to make you feel better. I want to make you feel free.
But you're bound to lose If you let the blues get you scared to feel
They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot,With a pink hotel,A boutique, and a swinging hot spot.

When the world becomes a massive mess with nobody at the helm, it's time for artists to make their mark.
All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.
