---Send Revival, Start With Me by Matt Redman---

We're looking to Your promise of old
That if we pray and humble ourselves
You will come and heal our land
You will come, You will come

We're looking to the promise You made
That if we turn and look to Your face
You will come and heal our land
You will come, You will come to us

Lord, send revival, start with me
For I am one of unclean lips
And my eyes have seen the King
Your glory I have glimpsed
Send revival, start with me

----Bring Him Home from the musical "Les Miserables"---

God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there

He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.

Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy.

You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live.
If I die, let me die
Let him live, bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

---Breakfast at Tiffany's---

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

Refrain:
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

I see you - the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It's plain to see we're over,
And I hate when things are over
When so much is left undone
Refrain
You say we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
But I know you just don't care

(Written by Mike Cassidy. San Jose Mercury News, September 19, 2001)

There are not enough tears.

Not enough tears to mourn those who died in last week?s attacks. Not enough to bring them back. Not enough to set the world right again.

But go ahead and cry.

As a nation, we are weeping. Two symbols of the United States have emerged since the building blew up: American flags and tears.

Many of us were raised to think crying was poor form It was something to be done alone, in the dark, out of sight. Tears are a sign of weakness, we were told. Crying never solved anything. Big boys don?t cry. Women must hold back tears to hold onto power.

They are old notions that were fading even before terrorism visited September 11. Now, they?ve been polished off completely. The tears serve as a symbol of our common pain.

Dan Rather, our rock in times of national crisis, cried on ?The Late Show With David Letterman? on Monday night. Letterman fought back tears. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been reduced to tears.

Baseball came back Monday and with it, tears. New York Mets Manager Bobby Valentine, who spent recent days helping rescue workers, wept in the dugout before his team?s game in Pittsburgh. St. Louis Cardinals reliever Steve Kline faced down the Milwaukee Brewers with the bases loaded. He nearly broke down afterward, when the TW announcers asked if it had been hard to concentrate.

Even President Brush cried on national television, and who could blame him?

Thousands of civilians dead. The Pentagon a shambles. Rescue workers sifting through rubble. The future uncertain.

Tell us about your prayers, a reporter asked last week, and where your heart is.

Bush turned away, lowered his head and turned back with tears in his eyes. His voice caught.

?Well, I don?t think about myself right now,? he said. ?I think about the families, the children.?

The tears were reassuring. The most powerful man in the most powerful country in the world crying. Just like me. Just like you.

These are times to think about what holds us together when so much seems to be falling apart.

In the past week, I?ve encountered people crying in conversations that started out innocently but turned to the World Trade Center or the airplanes.

It?s hard to know what one thing or combination of things brings it on.

For me, it?s the firefighters. My brother is one who, thankfully, works far from New York. For you, maybe it?s something else. The stories of the children who lost parents. The familiar sound of an old friend?s voice. A song on the radio.

Sometimes the tears come with good reason and fair warning. We can feel them boiling up like a volcano as we listen to yet another victim?s relative recount her loved one last moments on earth

Other times, the tears come unexpectedly and in odd places. On the freeway. At work. In line at the grocery.

Some push back the tears with work. The rescue workers in New York, news reporters, military strategists, counselors.

They toil with resolve at least until there is a moment of rest and reflection.

Did you see the newspaper photo of firefighter Tony James at the funeral for New York fire chaplain Mychal Judge? There was James in dress uniform executing a crisp salute. But his face: contorted in grief, tears streaming down. Shattered.

The pictures told a thousand words. And those thousand words spoke for millions.

? Je n?ai alors rien su comprendre ! J?aurais d? la juger sur les actes et non sur les mots. Elle m?embaumait et m??clairait. Je n?aurais jamais d? m?enfuir ! J?aurais d? deviner sa tendresse derri?re ses pauvres ruses. Les fleurs sont si contradictoires ! Mais j??tais trop jeune pour savoir l?aimer. ?

? Les gens ont des ?toiles qui ne sont les m?mes. Pour les uns, qui voyagent, les ?toiles sont des guides. Pour d?autres elles ne sont rien que de petites lumi?res. Pour d?autre qui sont savants elles sont des probl?mes. Pour mon businessman elles ?taient de l?or. Mais toutes ces ?toiles-l? sa taisent. Toi, tu auras des ?toiles comme personne n?en a?

Quand tu regarderas le ciel, la nuit, puisque j?habiterai dans l?une d?elles, puisque je rirai dans l?une d?elles, alors ce sera pour toi comme si riaient toutes les ?toiles. Tu auras, toi, des ?toiles qui savent rire !

Et quand tu seras consol?, tu seras content de m?avoir connu. Tu seras toujours mon ami. Tu auras envie de rire avec moi. Et tu ouvriras parfois ta fen?tre, comme ?a, pour le plaisir? ?

in light of the recent national events, i think what this country needs are not candlelight walks because not only does that not enforce accountability, we're probably importing the candles from afganistan. what this country needs to do is appoint Arnold Schwarzenegger secretary of kicking ass. see, doesn't that send waves of fear down your spine already. bush would say the nation security advisor, the secretary of state, and the secretary of kicking ass are currently reviewing the american offensive strategy. and bin laden's gonna crap himself because he's seen predator and terminator and even parts of twins and he knows that any man who can give birth could probably break his skull. by then bin laden's gonna wish arnold bombed his ass but arnold's just gonna tear him limb by limb and eat him for protein and use bin laden's thick beard for a throw rug.

Words - Bee Gees

Smile an everlasting smile, a smile can bring you near to me.
Don't ever let me find you down, cause that would bring a tear to me.
This world has lost its glory, let's start a brand new story now, my love.
Right now, there'll be no other time and I can show you how, my love.

Talk in everlasting words, and dedicate them all to me.
And I will give you all my life, I'm here if you should call to me.
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say.
It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away.
