lyrics

Many of the things which puzzle other people stand out in more bold relief to us. Some of the values, some of the contradictions, some of the goodies that we most long for in another part of us we have already judged, you know, we have already seen their emptiness. And some of the really marvellous things that other people don’t pay that much attention to, we know how precious they are.

Joy. Beauty. And illumination. And communion…
We know how precious they are.

I suppose I think that the highest gift that man has is art; and I am audacious enough to think of myself as an artist. I want to reach a little closer to the world – which is to say to people – and see if we can share some illuminations together about each other. My dream is largely outside of myself, which is a happy thing to be able to say.

Civil rights, civil liberties; we know that these are not things to be toyed with because we’re still just barely getting our hands on them. We know how precious they are.

My word isn’t this marvellous; the inventiveness of the human mind and the human spirit that whenever life doesn’t seem to give an answer we create them. It gives us strength. I don’t think the time will ever come when we will dismiss the human spirit. There is something more to do with your life than accept it as it is.

In my time there is both joy and beauty and illumination and communion; we know how precious they are. Civil rights, civil liberties; we know that these are not things to be toyed with because we’re still just barely getting our hands on them. We know how precious they are.
