"I wish that I could cry, Fall upon my knees. Find a way to lie Bout a home Ill never see.It may sound absurd but dont be naïve Even heroes have the right to bleed. I may be disturbed but won’t you concede Even heroes have the right to dream. And its not easy to be me."
"Fifteen, theres still time for you, Time to buy and time to lose, fifteen. Theres never a wish better than this, When you only got a hundred years to live."
"Im thirty-three for a moment, Im still the man, but you see Im a "they" A kid on the way, babe, A family on my mind. Im forty-five for a moment, The sea is high And Im heading into a crisis, Chasing the years of my life."
"What kind of world do you want? Think anything. Lets start at the start, Build a masterpiece. Be careful what you wish for, History starts now..."
"Then he said, "Heres a riddle for ya: Find the answer. Theres a reason for the world: You and I."
"Picked up my kid from school today. "Did you learn anything? Cause in the world today, You cant live in a castle far away. Now, talk to me, come talk to me." He said, "Dad, Im big, but were smaller than small. In the scheme of things, well, were nothing at all. Still, every mothers child sings a lonely song. So play with me, come play with me."
"There are secrets that we Still have left to find. There have been mysteries From the beginning of time. There are answers Were not wise enough to see. He said, "Youre looking for a clue I love you free."

"Chances are when said and done Wholl be the lucky ones Who make it all the way? Though you say I could be your answer. Nothing lasts forever, No matter how it feels today.Chances are well find a new equation Chances rolled away from me Chances are all they hope to be."
"Shot down, said you never had the chance, Took a ride on a suicide romance. Could have sworn there was somebody home To facilitate the great unknown. Oh woman, I aint going to meet you anywhere. Dont know where Im going yet, But I sure am getting there."
"I cant stand to fly. Im not that naïve. Im just out to find The better part of me.Im more than a bird, Im more than a plane, Im more than some pretty face beside a train. Its not easy to be me."
"Got blood on my hands Got blood on my hands And I dont understand Whats happening Theres blood on these hands And still Americans Left to the Taliban Now hows that happening?
