I'd give away my soul To hold you once again

There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.

Every day I lugged my backpack through the halls, waiting for the final bell. Then I'd race home and hole up in my room, playing the drums and the piano, composing music.

I know that life is a journey I must accept and that pain and confusion are temporary. I know that if I follow my heart, it will lead me where I belong.

My son ask for thyself another Kingdom, for that which I leave is too small for thee
