Imagine there's no Heaven.
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people.
Living for today.
J Lennon
Some people live to work, work to live.
Any little tremble and the earth might give. Ya can't hide it in a Volvo or a London Fog.
Can't hide it in a mansion with an imported dog.
No matter how we plan and rehearse, we're at pink slip's mercy in a paper universe.
And we're afraid that we're just a bum.
Someday when all our stuff is gone. and we're left without a dime.
Time ain't money when all ya got is time.
And we can see us standin on the corner with our nine-day beards and our bright red eyes.
Greg Brown
At a time when the world
seems to be spinnin'
hopelessly out of control,
there's deceivers an' believers
an' old in-betweeners,
that seem to have
no place to go.
W Nelson
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people.
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made.
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things.
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it, babe.
—Bob Dylan
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
---Cat Stevens
