$20 dollar bill

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by
holding up a $20.00bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
who would like this $20 bill? Hands started going up.
He said, I am going to give this $20 to one of you but
first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple the $20
dollar bill up. He then asked, Who still wants it?
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, What if I do this. And he dropped it
on the ground and started to grind it into the floor
with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled, and
dirty. Now who still wants it? Still the hands went
into the air.

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable
lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still
wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was
still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are
dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the
decisions we make and the circumstances that come our
way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter
what has happened or what will happen, you will never
lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are
still priceless to those who love you. The worth of
our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but
by WHO WE ARE.

You are special - Don't EVER forget it. If you do not
pass this on, you may never know the lives it touches
the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it
can bring. Count your blessings, not your problems.
Never be afraid to try something new.

Bruderschaft - Forever

I was never what you wanted
I could never, never please
I swallowed all our sorrow
In the midst of my disease

I don't beleive
In the existance
Of Mercies' guiding hand
Not with all that i have witnessed
I cannot understand
Forever burdened with the knowledge
That I could have been so much more
when the truth is hard to suffer
I knew this all before

There's no comfort in faith
The heavens still will fall
A thousand towers rise before me
I cannot climb them all
There's no kind of joy in this
There is no time that it can heal
In emptiness in shadows' bliss
There is nothing left to feel

I Have Not Abandoned Hope
Though I know there's nothing more
Tired and alone
You forget what you have hoped for

And I will walk this ground forever
And stand guard against your name
I will give all I can offer
I will shoulder all the blame
I am sentry to you now
All your hopes and all your dreams
I will hold you to the light
Thats' what 'Forever' means.

I was never what you wanted
I could never, never please
I swallowed all our sorrow
In the midst of my disease

All my fortunes all my gains
All the battles I have won
Now collapsing like the rain
I stand alone, your only son

Take some solace in these words
Take notice of this place
Hollow whispers wrap around
Like the wind upon my face

Just sing softly in my ear
And look at me with wonder
I will try to ease your fear
As the darkness pulls you under...

As the darkness pulls you under...

As the darkness pulls you under...

And i will walk this ground forever
And stand guard against your name
I will give all i can offer
I will shoulder all the blame
I am sentry to you now
All your hopes and all your dreams
I will hold you to the light;

That's what 'forever' means

That's what 'forever' means

That's what 'forever' means

I don't beleive
In the existance
Of Mercies' guiding hand
Not with all that i have witnessed
I cannot understand
Forever burdened with the knowledge
That I could have been so much more
When the truth is hard to suffer
I knew this all before

I was never what you wanted
I could never, never please
I swallowed all our sorrow
In the midst of my disease
All my fortunes,
All my gains,
All the battles I have won

And I will walk this ground forever
And stand guard against your name
I will give all I can offer
I will shoulder all the blame
I am sentry to you now
All your hopes and all your dreams
I will hold you to the light
Thats' what 'Forever' means.

And I will walk this ground forever
And stand guard against your name
I will give all I can offer
I will shoulder all the blame
I am sentry to you now
All your hopes and all your dreams
I will hold you to the light
Thats' what 'Forever' means.

Ian Van Dahl - Tears

The day you walked into my life
I opened up my heart to you (my heart to you)
I always thought that you and I
Could stand the test of time
Now my tears are falling (tears are falling)
Nothing else that I can do
Now my tears are falling (tears are falling)
Nothing else that i can do

All those tears in your eyes can't comfort me
So tell me right now
What you decide
All those tears in your eyes can't comfort me
All those tears in your eyes
I think i'm better off without you

Tell me why you tried to hide
All the secrets deep inside (deep inside)
So baby tell me face to face
Are you gonna stay?

Now my tears are falling (tears are falling)
Nothing else that i can do
Now my tears are falling (tears are falling)
Nothing else that i can do

All those tears in your eyes can't comfort me
So tell me right now
What you decide
All those tears in your eyes can't comfort me
All those tears in your eyes
I think i'm better off without you

Flake - Jack Johnson

I know she said it's alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it's not right
There ain't no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down

I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go

The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me by

Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down
