All At Once

“we use to read a fairy tale to our children, send them off to dream with a conversation. Now we just swich on the television, how they gonna learn to love with no imagination? Send them off to sleep with too much information….....

....Why don’t the newscasters cry when they read about people who die?
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes”

The News…. (well some versions of it.)

You’ll have to speak to me some other way.

Sometimes it feels like the heart is no place to be singing from at all.

I could give you promises for keeps
And I would only take them back
If they become your own
And you give them to me

AND

We could grow and become what we’ll be.

We told each other there is no other way.

AND

If it would help to give the world back what it gave
Then I would…
I would for you

Well, I love this one.  It makes me laugh every time I hear it…because it’s so often true, and if someone would respond in that way, it would be so refreshing…well, like Jack!

Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You’ll go down in history!

But Rudolph he didn’t go for that
He said, I see through your silly games

How can you look me in the face
When only yesterday you called me names?

All of the other reindeer, man
Well, they sure did feel ashamed

Rudolph you know we’re sorry
We’re truly going to try to change
