Actions speak...

More words of wisdom/food for thought from the late Jonathan Larson, from 'tick tick BOOM', excerpts of lyrics from the song 'Louder Than Words'

Louder than Words

Why do we play with fire?
Why do we run our fingers through the flame?
Why do we leave our hand on the stove
Although we know we're in for some pain?
Oh why, do we refuse to hang a light
When the streets are dangerous?
Why does it take an accident before the truth gets through to us?

Cages or wings - which do you prefer?
Ask the birds
Fear or love, baby? Don't say the answer
Actions speak louder than words

What does it take to wake up a generation?
How can you make someone take off and fly?

Why would we rather put ourselves through hell than sleep alone at night?
Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution?
If we're so free, tell me why - someone tell me why
So many people bleed

Cages or wings - which do you prefer?
Fear or love, baby? - Don't say the answer
Actions speak louder than words.

I seem to find it much easier to use other people's words to express myself than my own. Hmm.
