because your hands physically manifest thought.
So your world becomes what you feel and what you think.

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,
and not to worry cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these.
I won't be made useless.
I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.

this is me down on my knees.

I'm having a bad day. I am not size six.
My legs are not skinny as sticks,

I feel weak, so you're gonna take the fall.
You're so shallow.

Assemble yourself with wild things,

A man who will Kiss the Flame.

We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.
If you think like that, you surround yourself with
other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

People living their lives for you on TV;

and move yourself at the same

You have to realize: OK, I don't know how
to solve a political problem,
I don't know how to solve the pollution problem...
all I know is in my own life,
I need to figure out some sense of purpose,
I need to figure out how to be happy...
and I'm willing.
