Polvie, I appreciate the thought. I'm not carrying a weight over this ordeal. I'm not going to let that experience drag me down & keep me down. I've been handed & been forced to deal with my share of BS in my life, believe me. Like most folks do, you sometimes have to put up with some BS no matter where you work, live & play. If it gets to be too much, then either stand up do something about it & accept the consequences........ or if need be, simply move on. I try to learn from all my experiences, including the bad ones....... learn how to avoid falling into the same traps again..... but most importantly, learn how NOT to treat others. No, if I had to pick song lyrics appropriate to that situation, I think something like, 'Show Me The Way', 'Fooling Yourself (the Angry Young Man)', 'The Best of Times' & 'Man of Principle' would be more apropos........... Show Me The Way Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there is a heaven And every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that I've lost my faith (Please) Show me the way, show me the way Take me tonight to the river And wash my illusions away (and) Show me the way And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment my dreams are sacred I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred That I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've so far to go And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't know (Please) Show me the way, Show me the way Take me tonight to the mountain And wash my confusion away And if I feel light, should I believe Tell me how will I know (so) Show me the way, show me the way Take me tonight to the river And wash my illusions away (and) Show me the way, show me the way Give me the strength and the courage To believe that I'll get there someday (Please) Show me the way Every night I say a prayer In the hope that there is a heaven... Styx - circa 1990 __________________________________________________________ Fooling Yourself (the Angry Young Man) You see the world through your cynical eyes You're a troubled young man I can tell You've got it all in the palm of your hand But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest You're foolin' yourself if you don't believe it You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it How can you be such an angry young man When your future looks quite bright to me How can there be such a sinister plan That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man You're foolin' yourself if you don't believe it You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it Get up, get back on your feet You're the one they can't beat and you know it Come on, let's see what you've got Just take your best shot and don't blow it You're foolin' yourself if you don't believe it You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it Get up, get back on your feet You're the one they can't beat and you know it Come on, let's see what you've got Just take your best shot and don't blow it. Styx - circa 1977 ___________________________________________________________ The Best Of Times Tonight's the night we'll make history Honey you and I. 'Cos I'll take any risk To tie back the hands of time And stay with you here tonight. I know you feel these are the worst of times I do believe it's true. When people lock their doors and hide inside Rumor has it, it's the end of Paradise. But I know, if the world just passed us by Baby I know, I wouldn't have to cry. No no. The best of times are when I'm alone with you Some rain, some shine We'll make this a world for two. Our memories of yesterday Will last a lifetime. We'll take the best forget the rest And someday we'll find These are the best of times. These are the best of times. The headlines read: These are the worst of times I do believe it's true. I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide I wish the summer wind could bring back Paradise But I know If the world turned upside down Baby I know You'd always be around. My my. The best of times are when I'm alone with you. . When I'm alone with you, Evrything's alright. When I'm alone with you, You brighten up the night. Styx - circa 1980 ___________________________________________________________ Man of Principle One day he'll walk from out of this place. You'll see a quiet determination on his face. He'll toe no lines. Suffer no fools. But he'll raise three cheers to the losing team from the other school. A little dedication. A little pair of daddy's shoes to fill. Compleat education. One day he'll be a man of principle. And the battle's on. And he'll play to win. Feel the blue blood rushing quick beneath his skin. And grim they stand. And hard they fall. Harder still, when their backs are up against the wall. Gonna get your attention. But he's carrying his cross to the other hill. With divine intervention, he can be a man of principle. In the evening light, with a fair-ground girl-- he stops himself as his head begins to whirl. And he walks her home. And there's a kiss goodbye. She feels a chill as she looks him in the eye. Well, there's a time and a place now and it's not tonight she'll bend his will. Slow realization--she's looking at a man of principle. Hung from the highest station by his old school tie-- undressed to kill He could be a real sensation. But he's a man of principle. Jethro Tull - circa 1988 Ö¿Ö
