"To love. To be loved.
To never forget your own significance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest of places.
To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated nor complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away.
And never, never, to forget."

Tell me did you sail across the sunDid you make it to the milky way to see the lights all fadedAnd that heaven is overratedTell me, did you fall for a shooting starOne without a permanent scarAnd did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out thereTell me did the wind sweep you off your feetDid you finally get the chance to dance along the light of dayAnd head back to the milky wayAnd tell me, did venus blow your mindWas it everything you wanted to findAnd did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there♥
