I’ll uphold you, with my righteous right hand, tonight... . . . . . . . . ...you’re the warmth... ...in all these tears I’ve cried... ...I’ll help you find a chord in your mind, that you can recite... . . . ...you’re the warmth... ...in all these tears I’ve cried... ...you’re what keep them burning bright... . . .  . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...it’s you that still rocks the cradle... ...and it’s your warmth I feel in the blue of the moon... ...and that’s what brings me back to you...  . . . . . . . ********************************** Contribute to Katrina families today! * Charity Navigator http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm/bay/content.view/catid/68/cpid/310.htm Mercy Corps http://www.mercycorps.org/index.php?sections_id=3&subsections_id= 28&items_types_id=7&items_id=830&source=1050 ********************************** "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |
