This one is dedicated to Andrea:

Nothing Could be Separate
by Steven Walters

Rising with eastern light
Still as the dew of the morning
Fresh from a dreamless night
Filled with a lovers longing
How deeply the branches bough
As deeply the rotos must be holding
May I remember what I'm knowing right now
As strong as the winds may be blowing

That,
Nothing, nothing could be separate from this
Nothing, nothing could be separate from this
Nothing at all

Coffee from a paper cup
So fine on this autumn day
The sights and sounds I'm drinking up
But it's in the silence that I stay
Again I wonder how it could be that
One hand moves all in grand design
Yet under these blue skies I can so clearly see
Even amidst the concrete and fast food signs

That
Nothing, nothing could be separate from this
Nothing, nothing could be separate from this
Nothing at all

Let life come
I will find out what is changing
I will find out what is real
And I will find that place that is no place at all
At the center of the center of
The center of the wheel

So I turn my collar to the wind
And pray that I will remember
What I know so clearly this day
In northern California, late November

That,
Nothing, nothing could be separate from this
No, nothing, nothing could be separate from this
Nothing at all

I made a thread about this song last summer. It's on page one of my two pages of threads started by me.

Nether Lands

By Dan Fogelberg

High on this mountain
The clouds down below
I'm feeling so strong and alive
From this rocky perch
I'll continue to search
For the wind and the snow and the sky

Oh I want a lover and I want some friends
And I want to live in the sun
And I want to do all the things that I never have done

Sunny bright mornings and pale moonlit nights
Keep me from feeling alone
Now I'm learning to fly and this freedom is like
Nothing that I've ever known
Oh I've seen the bottom and I've been on top
But mostly I've lived in between
And where do you go when you get to the end of your dream

Off in the Nether Lands I heard the sound
Like the beating of heavenly wings
And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain
Of my soul as she rises and sings
Anthems to glory and anthems to love
And hymns filled with earthly delight
Like the songs that the darkness composes to worship the light

Once in a vision I came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go
Oh, one road was simple acceptance of life
The other road offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release

If you ever get the chance to listen to the song don't pass it up. It has an orchestral arrangement that will make your soul soar. The lyrics alone are beautiful and very moving.

Hey people,

What great lyrics and good hearts - especially reading them in the context of the shared but diverse experiences of the JWs.

This one helped me a lot when I first left. 'Waiting' by Green Day: I've been waiting a long time for this moment to come I'm destined for anything .... at all Downtown lights will be shining on me like a new diamond ring out under the midnight hour no one can touch me now and I can't turn my back It's too late ready or not at all I'm so much closer than I have ever known ... wake up Dawning of a new era calling ... don't let it catch you falling ready or not at all so close enough to taste it almost ... I can embrace this feeling ... on the tip of my tongue I'm so much closer than I have ever known ... wake up better thank your lucky stars ... I've been waiting a lifetime for this moment to come I'm destined for anything at all Dumbstruck colour me stupid good luck you're gonna need it where I'm going if I get there ... at all ... wake up better thank your lucky stars ...

I used to listen to that song (and much of the album it was on) when I was a teen. You're right, it's really beautiful...Thanks for bringing it back to mind with the lyrics.
