When you find yourself in some far off place, And it causes you to rethink some things, You start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else, And then you find yourself. When you make new friends in a brand new town, And you start to think about settlin' down, The things that would have been lost on you are now clear as a bell, And you find yourself, that's when you find yourself. Where you go through life so sure of where youre headed, And you wind up lost and it's the best thing that could have happened, 'Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's just as well, Because you find yourself. yeah, that's when you find yourself. When you meet the one that you've been waitin' for, And she's everything that you want and more, You look at her and you finally start to live for some one else, And then you find yourself, that's when you find yourself. We go through life so sure of where we're headed, And we wind up lost and it's the best thing that could have happened, 'Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well, Because you find yourself, yeah, that's when you find yourself...

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave bereft I am not there. I have not left.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
