Eighties Lyric Life

In the midst of all that is ... I think of words. The power they have to sooth my soul and remind me that like C.S. Lewis once said, "We read to know we are not alone." I think we sing to know we are not alone .....

Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it

And do you feel scared - I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better

~Ho Jo

If it's a future would we fear
We have tomorrow's seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand

But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we're sure
Then you can play your part
And fly straight to my heart

~Sting

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care

October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on...and on...

~ U2

I can´t believe what is happening to me
My head is spinning
The flowers and the trees are encapsulating me
And I go spinning.

~Erasure

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change.

~Scorpions
