The Ones We Wish Could Hear Us

A Quality Of Justice A Quantity Of Light A Particle Of Mercy Makes The Color Of Right

If The Future's Looking Dark, We're The Ones Who Have To Shine. If There's No One In Control, We're The Ones Who Draw The Line. Though We Live In Trying Times, We're The Ones Who Have To Try. And We Know That Time Has Wings, So We're The Ones Who Have To Fly.

Once I Had Defined Myself As A Compositional Drummer, I Thought, "well, I Want To Be An Improvisational Drummer."

I Can Worship Nature, And That Fulfills My Need For Miracles And Beauty. Art Gives A Spiritual Depth To Existence -- I Can Find Worlds Bigger And Deeper Than My Own In Music, Paintings, And Books. And From My Friends And Family I Receive The Highest Benediction, Emotional Contact, And Personal Affirmation. I Can Bow Before The Works Of Man, From Buildings To Babies, And That Fulfills My Need For Wonder. I Can Believe In The Sanctity Of Life, And That Becomes The Revealed Word, To Live My Life As I Believe It Should Be, Not As I'm Told To By Self-appointed Guides.

There's Still A Lot I'm Angry About, A Lot Of Human Behaviour That's Appalling And Despicable, But You Choose What You Can Fight Against. I Always Thought If I Could Just Put Something In Words Perfectly Enough, People Would Get The Idea And It Would Change Things.
