Lyrics Soulshine by The Allman Brothers Band When you can't find the light That got you through the cloudy days When the stars ain't shinin' bright You feel like you've lost you're way When the candlelight of home Burns so very far away Well, you got to let your soul shine Just like my daddy used to say He used to say soulshine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Hey, now people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day I grew up thinkin' I had it made Gonna make it on my own Life can take the strongest man Make him feel so alone Now sometimes I feel a cold wind Blowin' through my achin' bones I think back to what my daddy said He said "boy, in this darkness before the dawn" Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Yeah, now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes You've got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Lord now people don't mind We all fel this way sometimes Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day Oh, it's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Yeah, now people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You've got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day Tourniquet by Evanescence I tried to kill my pain But only brought more So much more I lay dying And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming Am I too lost to be saved? Am I too lost? My God my tourniquet Return to me salvation My God my tourniquet Return to me salvation Do you remember me? Lost for so long Will you be on the other side Or will you forget me? I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming Am I too lost to be saved? Am I too lost? My God my tourniquet Return to me salvation My God my tourniquet Return to me salvation (return to me salvation) I want to die!!! My God my tourniquet Return to me salvation My God my tourniquet Return to me salvation My wounds cry for the grave My soul cries for deliverance Will I be denied Christ Tourniquet My suicide (return to me salvation) (return to me salvation) Taking Over Me by Evanescence You don't remember me but I remember you I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you But who can decide what they dream? And dream I do... I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to live, to breathe You're taking over me Have you forgotten all I know And all we had? You saw me mourning my love for you And touched my hand I knew you loved me then I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to live, to breathe You're taking over me I look in the mirror and see your face If I look deep enough So many things inside that are just like you are taking over I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to live, to breathe You're taking over me I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you to live, to breathe You're taking over me Taking over me You're taking over me Taking over me Taking over me

I Want To Be Like You By Joanna Fuchs Thank you, teacher, for being my life's role model. When I consider all you've taught me and reflect on the kind of person you are, I want to be like you— smart, interesting and engaging, positive, confident, yet unpretentious. I want to be like you— well-informed and easy to understand, thinking with your heart as well as your head, gently nudging us to do our best, with sensitivity and insight. I want to be like you— giving your time, energy and talent to ensure the brightest possible future for each of us. Thank you, teacher For giving me a goal to shoot for: I want to be like you! To David, About His Education BY HOWARD NEMEROV The world is full of mostly invisible things, And there is no way but putting the mind’s eye, Or its nose, in a book, to find them out, Things like the square root of Everest Or how many times Byron goes into Texas, Or whether the law of the excluded middle Applies west of the Rockies. For these And the like reasons, you have to go to school And study books and listen to what you are told, And sometimes try to remember. Though I don’t know What you will do with the mean annual rainfall On Plato’s Republic, or the calorie content Of the Diet of Worms, such things are said to be Good for you, and you will have to learn them In order to become one of the grown-ups Who sees invisible things neither steadily nor whole, But keeps gravely the grand confusion of the world Under his hat, which is where it belongs, And teaches small children to do this in their turn. The Stranger  by Callie Crofts One lovely summer day As I was walking through the grass Reflecting on the very fondest Memories of my past I past an unfamiliar place And stopped a while to see Completely unsuspecting Of the change this place would bring I stood before a wall of names Two hundred and fifty-one Engraved upon a monument That pierced the shining sun And though, to all these names I was a stranger passing by I looked upon these names And there was one that caught my eye It may have been a moment Or an hour, or a year I walked up to the name And leaned in close so I could hear I closed my eyes and listened To the pure and priceless truth And came to understand the love Of which, this wall is proof It's said that he who bears The very greatest love of all Will sacrifice his life Before He'll see a dear friend fall Though people often wonder Whether such a man is real I see him now Through these engraven letters that I feel He's sitting with his brother telling stories as they laugh Of the greatest game's he'll ever pitch Of the biggest fish he'll catch He's standing by his colors On a hillside far away He's diving through the amber fire While others run away I search through all my memories Of the noble and the grand The courage and the truth That I've been taught to understand Of all the stories that are told This shall be told of you Dear Soldier, How you gave your life For those you never knew.
