If You Hold On Tight To What

You Seek Up An Emotion And Your Cup Is Overflowing, You Seek Up An Emotion Sometimes Your Well Is Dry

I Think Making Things That Aren't Necessarily Shiny, Happy Feelings, Putting Them In That Environment Is Sometimes An Easy Way To Deal With The Ugliness. Like, I Know That As A Kid, That I Found - I Think I Learned This A Bit From My Mother - That If I Could Be As Warm Around Strangers, No Matter How Strange Or What Different Environment I Was In, That People Tended To Be Warm Back.

I Don't Think Socialism, And I Don't Think Warmness And Respect Are Necessarily Bad Words.

When I Was A Kid Growing Up In New York, I Was Pretty Unaware Of Racism. I Think When We're Young - Before We Lose Our Innocence - We're Sort Of Unaware Of The More Flawed Qualities Of Each Other.

Oh, Man, Oh How I Wish I Didn't Smoke Or Drink To Reason With My Head.
