I've missed you all so so much; you are all such wonderful friends to me and I love you all so much, and thought of you all while I had a great vacation in Orlando.

Beautiful World
By: Noah Eaton
11/18/01

My good friend, it's been so long
I've missed you so since I've been gone
It feels just like forever
There's so much I want to say
You've been on my mind everyday
So tell me, how's the weather?

Justified stars glisten like champagne in the sky
Of all these wishes we've made by and by
Our love will never mar
When you wished upon a star?
Did you take the time to spread it far?
Did you cross your heart?

When you look at the world from here
What do you revere?
In a world of laughs and tears
One of hopes and fears
These blessings He contrives
Brings tears to my eyes
Wish upon a star, and your dreams will come true
It's a beautiful world

My oh my, how time does fly
But these memories that never die
We build castles, reaching to the sky
This love you share with me
Oh, all that you want to be
My reason to believe...

What must I bring along in this excursion?
How must I cleanse my integrity of superstition?
I will worship my imagination
Having the will to sacrifice
To create and reach to the sky
I just want to try

When you look at the world from here
What do you revere?
In a world of laughs and tears
One of hopes and fears
These blessings He contrives
Brings tears to my eyes
Wish upon a star, and your dreams will come true
It's a beautiful world

I've heard Buddhist temples praise
I've seen the Mediterranean Sea's purple haze
I've thought of Venetian nights with stars of murano glass
I've seen glass blowers capture the future yet cherish the past
I have seen pyramids rise and stave churches line the coast
I have heard Irish girls play and raise a toast
I've heard God's word from one end of the world to the other
I have marvelled to the sight of joining lovers

I just want to see this world evermore
I just want you to see the beauty in this world

When you look at the world from here
What do you revere?
In a world of laughs and tears
One of hopes and fears
These blessings He contrives
Brings tears to my eyes
Wish upon a star, and your dreams will come true
It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world...
I just want to see this world evermore
I just want to see the beauty in this world
It's a beautiful world...

Welcome back Noah, we've missed you. And I see you brought some beautiful writing back with you. And yes, indeed it is a beautiful world.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
