Climb every mountain, search high and low, Follow every byway, every path you know. Climb every mountain, ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream. A dream that will need all the love you can give, Every day of your life, for as long as you live. Climb every mountain, ford every... Read More

On a clear day, rise and look around you, And you’ll see who you are. On a clear day, how it will astound you That the glow of your being outshines every star! You’ll feel part of every mountain, sea and shore. You can hear from far and near A word you’ve never, never heard... Read More

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy... Read More

Imagine there’s no heaven. It’s easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us, only sky. Imagine all the people Livin’ for today. Imagine there’s no countries. It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion, too. Imagine all the people Livin’ life in peace. You may say I’m... Read More

Who can I turn to when nobody needs me? My heart wants to know, and so I must go where destiny leads me. With no star to guide me, and no one beside me, I’ll go on my way, and after the day, The darkness will hide me. And maybe tomorrow I’ll find what I’m... Read More

What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love? It seems that I’m the only one that I have been thinking of. What kind of mind is this? An empty shell? A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell? What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life?... Read More

Morning has broken like the first morning. Blackbird has spoken like the first bird. Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the world. Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven, Like the first dewfall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, Sprung... Read More
