St. Elmo's Fire
by John Parr

Growing up, you don't see the writing on the wall
Passing by, moving straight ahead, you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed

Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
You know in some way you're a lot like me
You're just a prisoner and you're trying to break free

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lying, St. Elmo's fire

Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go
Just how far I go
Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
I can make it, I know I can
You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lying, St. Elmo's fire

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burning in me
Burning in me

Just once in his life a man has his time
And my time is now
I'm coming alive

I can hear the music playing, I can see the banners fly
I feel like a vet again, I hope I'm not high
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lying, St. Elmo's fire

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lying, St. Elmo's fire

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's fire burning in me

Burning, burning in me
I can feel it burning
Ooh, burning inside of me....

"I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."

--Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Here I Go Again
by Whitesnake

I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again
Here I go again

Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go

'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

"There are two tragedies in life. One is to not get your heart's desire. The other is to get it."

--George Bernard Shaw

"Oh, it's nothing you wouldn't have done for me...if you weren't you, and I wasn't me...and everything was completely different."

--Dogbert, Dilbert

Hold On Hold Out
by Jackson Browne

Hold on, hold out
Keep a hold on strong
The money's in and the bets are down
You won't hold out long
They say you'll fall in no time at all
But you know they're wrong
You've known it all along

Yeah, hold on, hold out
Keep a hold on still
If you don't see what your love is worth
No one ever will
You've done your time on the bottom line
And it ain't no thrill
There's got to be something more
Keep a hold on still
You know what it is you're waiting for

Now you just hold on
Hold on, hold out, hold on

Give up your heart and you lose your way
Trusting another to feel that way
Give up your heart and you find yourself
Living for something in somebody else

Sometimes you wonder what happens to love
Sometimes the touch of a friend is enough

Hold a place for the human race
And keep it open wide
Give it time to fall or climb
Let the time decide

Sometimes you wonder what's in this for you
But you wait, and you see, 'cause it's all you can do
Just to hold on

Hold on, hold out

For the countless souls beaten by their goals
Keep a hold on now
And the ones betrayed by the deals they made
Keep a hold on, keep a hold on
If you hold your ground, it'll turn around
Keep a hold somehow

Hold on, hold out, keep a hold on tight
Tonight's the night
Wake up and turn on the light
You fight, and you're right
It's gonna take all your might

You're a hold out
Well I'm a hold out too
But it took me all this time to figure out
Something you already knew
Will love be true? Can it pull you through?
How long? How strong?
Some things depend on you

See, I always figured I was gonna meet somebody here
And I don't know why
Why should love suddenly come down
And just sweep me away?

I wanna fly
But there's so many things in my way

Anyway, I guess you wouldn't know unless I told you
I -- I love you
Well, just look at yourself
I mean, what else would I do?

Hold on, hold out
Keep a hold on
Hold on, hold out
Keep a hold on
Hold on, hold on
Keep a hold on
Hold on, hold out

"Always do right. This will gratify some, and astonish the rest."
