Fall In Love, Not In Line
By: Noah Eaton
10/3/04

I don't forget that my voice is but one,
just a grain of sand on the beach,
just a marble in a sack,
just a raindrop blanketed in a leaf.
"Be the change that you want to see in the world.",
a voice in the wind told me,
every since I was a little boy,
I've tried to figure out what that means...

Through the eyes of our mothers,
I go for a little saunter,
I go with the flow,
and I begin to wonder,
if we can all re-learn to smile,
maybe everyone can recognize,
this sacred language we take for granted,
and we can all open our eyes...

Fall in love, not in line,
live for today each and every time,
the message is in the medium,
can you hear its vibration chime?
Fall in love, not in line,
arms are for embracing,
don't place the future out of their reach,
hold it in for nurturing...



I've found in time standing,
amongst the birds and the bees,
that it is better to die on our feet,
than live on our knees.
I'm no longer afraid to live,
I'm no longer afraid to die,
and as you unfold your wings with me,
I find I'm not afraid to live another life...

Through the footprints of children,
I run barefoot following their lead,
running wearing flags as capes,
slipping in the mud, getting ourselves dirty,
if we could find a place in the sun,
maybe everyone can realize,
we all share this sun together,
my oh my...

Fall in love, not in line,
live for today each and every time,
the message is in the medium,
can you hear its vibration chime?
Fall in love, not in line,
arms are for embracing,
don't place the future out of their reach,
hold it in for nurturing...



Fingerpaint the world with your dreams,
fingerpaint them in wild honey,
don't be nervous,
show them you can sing...
...it takes a heart to travel,
it takes travelling to understand,
it takes understanding to believe,
to believe they believe,
we all tear from the eyes,
we all bleed the same color...

Fall in love, not in line,
live for today each and every time,
the message is in the medium,
can you hear its vibration chime?
Fall in love, not in line,
arms are for embracing,
don't place the future out of their reach,
hold it in for nurturing...

When we wake up tomorrow,
can we realize we are one,
forget borders, boundaries and maps,
and together fall in love.
When we wake up tomorrow,
can we realize we are one,
forget fences, doors and windows,
and together fall in love...



"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other"

Mother Teresa

Excecptional write so full of your dynamic energy. It reminds me of Sark look of writing thoughts down in colors of clarity. Love this piece, love the peace.

Just a note to tell you I read, and enjoyed this...

After all the violence, after all the hatred, it gives me great strength to know that young people are carrying the torch of peace...may what ever God you believe in give you courage to carry the messege on.

"Fall in love, not in line,
arms are for embracing,
don't place the future out of their reach,
hold it in for nurturing..."
