When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.

If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind...
Have you ever danced in the rain, or thanked the sun just for shining o'er the sea?
Oh no- take it all in - the world's a show -? and yeah, you look much better, look much better when you glow...
Hey hey- what ya say we both go and seize the day?
'Cause what's your hurry - what's your hurry anyway?

You Can Still Change Your Mind
Artist: Tom Petty
Album: Hard Promises
It's gonna be another hard night
You wanna take it all alone
You wanna face up to your troubles
You wanna face up to your soul
And baby you can have it anyway you want it
You just get a little lost from time to time
Sometimes it gets a little crazy somewhere down inside
But you can still change your mind
You can change your feelings
You can still change your mind
Everybody wants all the world can give
Everybody wants to get all he can get
Everybody's waiting for somethin' that hasn't come yet
And you can hide it for a little while honey
You can try and just lose it for awhile
Then it's gonna do somethin' to ya somewhere down inside
But you can still change your mind
You can change your feelings
You can still change your mind
Oh it gets harder by the minute
Oh it gets harder every day
Listen to me darlin', oh you don't have to wait
It's alright
You can still change your mind
You can still change your feelings
Just hold tight, everything's gonna be alright
If you can change your mind
You can change your feelings too

Here it is:
Something Happens - Parachute
Take your parachute and jump, you can't stay here forever
When everyone else is gone, being all alone won't seem that clever
Take your parachute and go, there's gonna have to be some danger
Take your parachute and jump, you're gonna have to take flight
If the wind don't catch you, I will, I will
If the wind's not there, I'm here
Don't look out before you, you know it's a long way down
I'll make it safer for you, your parachute won't let you down
Take your parachute and go, and maybe come back tomorrow
Take your parachute, I am, stop you ever getting sorrow
Cause the winds might change, and the winds might blow over you
And the winds might cut you in two, unless perhaps you get a raincoat
Take your parachute and go, and wave to me as you are falling
Take your parachute and jump, you'll hear a sound, it's just me calling
It's a beautiful day for jumping, and nothing's here to keep you back
I'll make it safer for you, your parachute is on your back
Cause the winds might change, and the winds might change
Take a parachute, I am
And jump (the wind should come and catch you)
And jump (before you hit the ground)
And jump (the wind should come and catch you)
And jump (before you hit the ground)
Jump
Take your parachute

Think this was posted somewhere on here before.:
Everybody Hurts ~ R.E.M.
When the day is long and the night,
the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life,
well hang on
Don't let yourself go,
'cause everybody cries
and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong.
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much
of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts.
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts.
Don't throw your hand.
Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone,
no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life,
the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much
of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries.
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts.
You are not alone

We can all be angels to one another. We can choose to obey the still small stirring within, the little whisper that says, "Go. Ask. Reach out. Be an answer to someone's plea. You have a part to play. Have faith."

I have this one on my living room wall, along with the serenity prayer.
YOU MUST NOT QUIT!
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns;
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow;
You may succeed with another blow!
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell just how close you are;
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
When things seem worst, you must not quit.
