And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

    Man, I needed that! Very nice.

    Boooo to those Aussie cops who tried to ban the hugs! :p
    I also really enjoyed that song.......
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    That was really touching. I'm sending it everywhere. Thanks for posting it.

    Didn't do anything for me, but I can see why others would probably feel something from it.
    no matter where you go,

    I love it.

    It reminds me of this guy who stands at around 1st & Columbia here is Seattle holding a sign reading...

    "SMILE"

    Of course, everytime I see him I do.

    He just doesn't know it makes me think of Pearl Jam.
