Array ( [sid] => 60312 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Immortality [time] => 2004-08-16 11:41:39 [hometext] => It's all about ... finding a way to live forever [bodytext] => ( sounds like Bruce Springsteen, when I hear it right )

I've never wanted the limelight
I'm not askin' for fame
But I sure as hell don't wanna be a pawn
In somebody else's game

Yeah, I've got strength of will
And I've got peace of mind
Though they may not always be there
They come back time after time

While I might back up
I ain't never backin' down
From the things that I believe in
And the truths by which I'm bound

Life ain't easy
It was meant to be hard
You can let down lovers gently
But you can't let down your guard
Hold your head up high
Live each day like it's your last
It'll be gone before you know it
As it melts into the past ~
And fades
( Lord, Please don't let me fade away )

I wanna make my mark
In this world of mine
Some kinda never ending legacy
To stand the test of time

And I wanna be remembered
For the things that I have done
But God, don't let them count against me
when my time on earth is done

'Cause
Life ain't easy
It was meant to be hard
You can let down lovers gently
But you can't let down your guard
Live for this moment
All you get is this one chance
It'll be gone before you know it
As you just begin to dance ~
The music fades
( Lord, please don't let me fade away )

I never wanted the limelight
I never asked for fame
I only hope that I'm remembered ~
For the part that I have played

( Lord, please don't let me fade away )
( Please don't let me fade away )
( Don't let me fade )
( Don't let me ... )

.......speechless....... All I can say is, there is much perfection and emotion in this piece. Beautiful job! I enjoyed this one thoroughly! I wish I could say more, but that is all I can conjure for now... **still utterly speechless**
Forever yours,

Votre fleur de sang sans voix
