Michael's Tree

 

When I go, remember me
Through little things, the memories
The laughter spilled, the local park
A kiss, a dance shared in the dark

 
When I go, take time to grieve
Then find the will to plant a tree
And meet me there among the leaves
The summer air is calling me

 
Seasons come and seasons go
What happens next, we cannot know
I held you then, I hold you still
And in the breeze, I always will

 
Whеn I go, remember mе
And from your love will grow the tree

- Sammy Copley

Tower of Song

 

Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey

I ache in the places where I used to play

And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on

I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song

-Leonard Cohen

Let Them Hear You

 

And say to those who blame us

For the way we chose to fight
That sometimes there are battles
That are more than black or white...

And I could not put down my sword
When justice was my right
Make them hear you

Go out and tell our story
To your daughters and your sons
Make them hear you
Make them hear you

And tell them, in our struggle
We were not the only ones
Make them hear you
Make them hear you

Your sword can be a sermon
Or the power of the pen
Teach every child to raise his voice
And then, my brothers, then

Will justice be demanded
By ten million righteous men
Make them hear you
When they hear you
I'll be near you
Again

Love is Pleasin'

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

I wish, I wish I was a youth again

But a youth again I can never be

Till the apples grow on an ivy tree...

And love and porter makes a young man older

And love and whiskey makes him old and grey

And what can't be cured, love, has to be endured, love 

             -the Dubliners

the Climb

 There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

  Miley Cyrus

If This Is the End

 Look at how the candles flicker in the window

Look at how the leaves are turning gold out on the trees
Sounds a little corny, a little like john denver
But the turning of the seasons gives me something to believe in
So if this is the end
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
No one I’d rather see the end with
Tell God on his throne to leave us alone
If this is the end

- Noah Gunderson

Fairytale of New York

"I could have been someone", well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
