Fill your life with love and bravery,

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,
and not to worry cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these.
I won't be made useless.
I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.

We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

and I'm willing.

Suffering is everywhere. Don't ever think it isn't.
So are miracles. Don't ever think they aren't.

You always feel better when you sing.
Music touches people's hearts.

It's worth it doing a show
and when you touch a crowd
and move yourself at the same

Gather yourself by the sea shore and I will love you there.
Assemble yourself with wild things,
with songs of the sparrow and sea-foam.

A man who will Kiss the Flame.
