There must be lights burning brighter somewhere. Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue. If I can dream of a better land, where all my brothers walk hand in hand, Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come true? There must be peace and understanding sometime. Strong winds...

When the twilight is gone, and no songbirds are singing. When the twilight is gone, you come into my heart. And here in my heart you will stay while I pray. My prayer is to linger with you, At the end of the day, in a dream that’s divine. My prayer is a rapture in... Read More

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.
