Barry Louis Polisar - All I Want Is You (Juno OST)

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you/ will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you/ will you stay with me
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

If you were a river in the mountains tall
The rumble of your water would be my call
If you were the winter/ I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me/ let the cold winds blow

All I want is you/ will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you/ will you stay with me
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

If you were a wink/I'd be a nod
If you were a seed/well I'd be a pod
If you were the floor/ I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss/ I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you/ will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you/ will you stay with me
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

If you were the wood/ I'd be the fire
If you were the love/ I'd be the desire
If you were a castle/ I'd be your moat
And if you were an ocean/ I'd learn to float

All I want is you/ will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you/ will you stay with me
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea

Gayatri Mantra

Let us meditate on the Divine Light that is inherent in us,
May it dissolve all Ignorance and Darkness.

Alfred Tennyson - The Charge of the Light Brigade

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.

Coldplay - Spies

I awake to find/ no peace of mind
I said/ how do you live/ as a fugitive
Down here/ where I cannot see so clear
I said/ what do I know
Show me the right way to go


And the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them though
'Cause they're all spies/ they're all spies


I awake to see /that no one is free
We're all fugitives
Look at the way with it
Down here/ I cannot sleep from fear/ no
I said/ which way do I turn
Oh I forget everything I learn


But the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them though
'Cause they're all spies/ they're all spies

And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us
If we don't hide now
They're going to catch us where we sleep
And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us

The spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so good 'cause you know
That those spies hide out in every corner
They can't touch you no
'Cause they're just spies/ they're just spies


They're just spies/ they're just spies/ they're just spies

Maya Angelou - Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my steps
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please
And to a man
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
A hive of honey bees.
I say
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say
It's in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say
It's in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

W.H. Auden - Funeral Blues

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
