Inspired by the documentary about the band...Switchfoot
If time and reason travel light Then what becomes of burdens blight? When sun escapes the darkened cloud It's you who sings of hope aloud When mountains seem too high to climb The air above restores sublime If pockets of your life decay Then charge ahead, todays ok I've asked myself a million times The reasons why I'm in this rhyme And like the ocean waves that break Around the bend is Spirit Lake It's there my soul renews it's strength To carry on and love the length 10/05/14 12:33 am

Self expression to the needy don't belong... Benevolent love is the path for old and young... Cheers
