If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,

I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.

that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

A man who will Kiss the Flame.

and move yourself at the same

You have to realize: OK, I don't know how

Life is a journey. It is not a race to test

Always question WHY you are doing something.
Is it a free-will gift or an obligation?

on the part of the recipient.
