And if you don't give up, and don't give in You may just be O.K. Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye...
~*The Living Years Lyrics - Mike and The Mechanics*~
First step, take a deep breath
You don’t need a reason why

You can, you can walk, run, dive
Close call, you think you might fall
But all you gotta do is try
Even angels, even angels learn… to fly~!
