All or Nothing

"Never get out of the boat....  Unless you're going all the way."

Windpower

Switch off the mind and let the heart decide
who you were meant to be. 
Flick to remote and let the body glide. 
There is no enemy. 

Etch out a future of your own design
well-tailored to your needs.
Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive. 

Shatter the lens and grind it into sand. 
One measured exposure.
Scatter the seed and furrow in our land. 
The future is roses! Roses! 

-- Thomas Dolby (1982)

Wanna Be Loved


I've been afraid, and I've been alone
Sometimes I need someone to pick up the phone
I'm tired of the leavin'
I need a home


I just wanna be loved
Can you tell me I'm worthy or important
Am I workin' hard enough?
I just wanna be loved


And I want someone to want me
I want somebody there
And I need someone to need me
I need someone who cares


-- Brandon Coleman (Red Clay Strays) 2024
