bridge over troubled water

when you're weary / feeling small / when tears are in your eyes / i will dry them all / i'm on your side / when times get rough / and friends just can't be found / like a bridge over troubled water / i will lay me down / when you're down and out / when you're on the street / when evening falls so hard / i will comfort you / i'll take your part / when darkness comes / and pain is all around / like a bridge over troubled water / i will lay me down [...] if you need a friend / i'm sailing right behind / like a bridge over troubled water / i will ease your mind

one and the same

the need for love lies at the very basis of human existence. it results from the profound interdependence we all share with one another.

don't you know that when you sleep with someone, your body makes a promise whether you do or not?

what do we do...



... when we lose hope?

Look into your own heart, discover what gives you pain, and then refuse, under any circumstance whatsoever, to inflict that pain on anybody else.

[Karen Armstrong]
