    "I am
    I will
    So no longer
    Will I
    Lay down
    Play dead
    Play your doe
    in the headlights locked down
    and terrified
    Your deer in the headlights
    shot down and horrified when
    Push comes to pull comes to shove
    Comes to step around this
    Self-destructing dance that never
    would've ended till I
    Rose,
    I roared aloud here
    I will
    I am."

    Agh! Such a powerful song.

    Especially when I hear "when push comes to PULL".

    I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other.
    Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life -
    whoever you are, whatever our differences.

    This is sweet. He always struck me as a gentle man. Troubled (who isn't), but gentle.

    (and damned if I love "Calypso" :) )

    Yes, a gentle man but J.D. had his fill of problems as well. Calypso (one of many great songs in my opinion.)

    "Give away the stone
    Let the ocean take and transmutate
    This cold and fated anchor
    Give away the stone
    Let the waters kiss and transmutate
    These leaden grudges into gold"
