It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's ok
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's ok
Remember JFK
He tried to pave the way
To make a better day
It's alright, it's ok
But then they shot him down
From up in downtown
It was a lonesome sound
As that flag came down
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's ok
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's ok
Remember MLK
He tried to pave the way
To make a better day
It's alright, it's ok
For he was killed one morn
When the world was torn
It was a painful thorn
And the world did mourn
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's ok
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's ok
Remember me some day
I tried to pave the way
To make a better day
It's alright, it's ok
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's ok
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's ok

Basic is going good.  just on leave right now for christmas so I'm getting on.  I've met alot of really great people that have meant alot to me these past few weeks.  can't wait to go back and finish up.  well actually I think I can.  lol


 shine a light so bright that all can see
and you will find the joys that echo within me

thanks you guys.  and as for the picture nan, my message icon says it all.  it's on there somewhere...

perhaps I'll write something I actually like instead of the disjunctured ramblings of someone too tired to remember what a "b" looks like... *wink*
