A little less conversation, a little more ACTION.

Somebody does somethin' stupid, that's human. They don't stop when they see it's wrong, that's a fool.

We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain. As long as a man has the strength to dream, he can redeem his soul and fly.

You look like an angel, walk like an angel, talk like an angel. But I got wise, you're the devil in disguise.

You've got to follow that dream, wherever that dream may lead.
