I Grew Up Reading Shakespeare And Mark

People Know More About Baseball Players Contracts Than They Do About The Policies That Govern The Fate Of Our Childrens Lives In Twenty Years. Think About It. People Used To Say, The Whole Time I Was Growing Up, Do You Want To Bring A Child Into This World? Thats Pretty Dire.

Into A Dancer You Have Grown From The Seeds Somebody Else Has Sown.

You've Had To Struggle, You've Had To Fight To Keep Understanding And Compassion In Sight You Could Be Laughing At Me, You've Got The Right But You Go On Smiling So Clear And So Bright

I'm Not Sure What I'm Trying To Say, It Could Be That I've Lost My Way.

Caught Between The Longing For Love, And The Struggle For The Legal Tender, Where The Sirens Sing And The Church Bells Ring, And The Junk Man Pounds His Fender. Where The Veterans Dream Of The Fight, Fast Asleep At The Traffic Light, And The Children Solemnly Wait For The Ice Cream Vendor.
