You Can't Change The World If You Look Like It-
Something written in Carrie's friend's bible cover.

I can see that you are lost I've come to find you. Even though you chose to leave and go your way. You thought you'd find more than what I could give you, So I let you go still I want you to know I've seen you struggle, I've seen you crying. Seen you do those things you swore you would never do. Oh, your guilty soul has got you slowly dying. What your running from you should run to. Open up your heart to me and I will set you free. Open up your eyes and see IM everything you need. Open up your mind and know I'll never let you go. It won't be hard for you to believe if you open up your heart to me.
~Open up your heart by out of eden.

Gather round while I sing to you of Wernher von Braun
A man whose allegiance
Is ruled by expedience
Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown
"Ha, Nazi schmazi," says Wernher von Braun

Don't say that he's hypocritical
Say rather that he's apolitical
"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down
That's not my department," says Wernher von Braun

Some have harsh words for this man of renown
But some think our attitude
Should be one of gratitude
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun

You too may be a big hero
Once you've learned to count backwards to zero
"In German oder English I know how to count down
Und I'm learning Chinese," says Wernher von Braun
-Tom Lehrer
[i]Wernher Von Braun[/i]
"Do you understand that there is nothing to understand without understanding it?"
-The Fifth Son
