ROMAN POLANSKI

So much trouble you’ve seen
So much trouble you’ve given
What memories you must have
What scars

If you could take back any sleepless memory
Any stone weight chained to you for eternity
I wonder, would it be
A young girl, duct-taped and asking to be free?

U2 Concert – Charlottesville, VA

The closest thing to church
So many of us will ever see
Better than some churches I could choose
But only a whisper of what a church can be

Here we hear hints of holiness
Murmurs of the Magnificence
Echoing beneath the moon and stars
Paroxysms of praise in rising rifts

Bono grows plaintive
And the Edge closes his eyes
We share the music like bread
With our hands held high

What I Wish Someone Would Say to Them

Diva Rachel, you are a star

You have a Father who wants you to go far

Gay Kurt, we know you hurt
Your Father loves you despite your skirt

Teacher Will, you need to chill
You don’t need to please everyone, sit still

“Mother” Terri, you are scary

You don’t need a baby to be loved or marry

Red-haired Emma, there’s a way
To be clean of dirt in every way

Cheerleader Quinn, you talk of sin
But rules don’t make you right within

Mohawk Puck, your life may suck
But there’s a place for toughs run out of luck

Coach Sue, it’s time for you
To fall and break your pride in two.

Glee

Could it be God made us to feel glee?
Could it be He wants us free?
Could it be…we have an enemy?
Could it be it is not He
But someone else misleading me
Away from glee to misery?

Hard to Heal

Heal the world, make it a better place
Change the shape of your own face
You were so excited to change everything
You were on top of the world

But all the optimism of the 80′s
Was not enough to change anything
The heart is a lonely place
No matter what words we sing

Unseen Sides

Quiet politeness and open curiosity
Virtues hidden by celebrity
You were close to the kingdom of heaven
I hope you found your way in.
　

Good Night

Michael Michael, strong and able
Get your moonshoes off the table
Step off into mystery
Say good night to all you see.
Good night
