525600 minutes
52500 moments so dear
525600 minutes
how do you measure measure a year
in daylights
in sunsets
in midnights
in cups of coffee
in inches
in miles
in laughter in strife
in 525600 minutes
how do you measure
a year in the life
how do you leave the past behind
when it keeps finding ways
to get to your heart
it reaches way down deep
and tears you inside out
till you're torn apart
how can you connect in an age
where strangers, landlords, lovers
your own bloodcells betray
what binds the fabric together
when the raging shifting winds of change
keep ripping away
so if you care to find me
look towards the western sky
as someone told me lately
everyone deserves a chance to fly
and if i'm flying solo
at least i'm flying free
to those who ground me
take a message back from me
tell them how i am defying gravity
i'm flying high
defying gravity
and soon i'll match them in renown
and nobody
in all of oz
no wizard that their is or was
is ever gonna bring me down
bring me down

A little fall of rain
can hardly hurt me now
your here
that's all i need to know
and you will keep me safe
and you will keep me close
and rain
will make the flowers
grow~ Les Mis
orphan in the storm
that's a role i've played before
i've learned not to tremble
when i hear that thunder roar
i don't curse what i can't change
i just play the hand i'm delt
when they lighten up the rations
i tighten up my belt
i won't say i've never felt the pain
but i am not a stranger
to the rain.
let it rain~ children of eden
