Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning

Heavy metal thunder

Racin' with the wind

And the feelin' that I'm under

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

"Patience"

1,2,1,2,3,4
[whistle]
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes
To make it, We won't fake it,
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it

[whistle]
...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need *

I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT
JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT
HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE
BUT BABY THE NAME
I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
'CAUSE I NEED YOU
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
OO, I NEED YOU
WHOA, I NEED YOU
OO, ALL THIS TIME **
(ah)

#MusicMonday - [TAKE ACTION EDITION] Michael Jackson: "Heal The World"

#MusicMonday this week is dedicated to Michael Jackson, who is a timeless and classic Musician that has and continues to inspire the importance of individuality around the world through respect for diversity. It is hard to put into words what Michael did to inspire others, so in the true beauty and essence of music, it shall speak for itself...

What can you do to heal the world?

In partnership with www.ichoosemynews.com, here is my personal list to take action:

1. Use a reusable water bottle everyday.
2. Use a mug, instead of paper or compostable cups for coffee/tea.
3. Take the bus, walk or ride my bike to work everyday.
4. Help plant trees (and send digital certificates when I do).
5. Pick up trash when I see it on the ground around me, especially foil products.
6. Use reusable grocery/tote bags when shopping/traveling and in general for carrying items.
7. Use digital resources as much as possible, instead of paper (i.e. sporting event and concert tickets).
8. Carpool with friends and family whenever possible (...the more the merrier!)
9. Support and donate to conservation organizations by being aware and volunteering my time and money to help.
1. www.arborday.org

3. www.worldwildlife.org
4. www.billionacts.org/
5. www.globalcitizen.org/en/
6. www.nrdc.org/
7. www.change.org/
10. Encourage others to do these things through word of mouth and actively engage in asking others what they are doing to help so that I can learn and do what they are doing, too.

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make it a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread
We stop existing and start living

The it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be god's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #3: Mari Barron

Mari has been one of my best friends since we were in middle school and is someone that I know I can truly trust. We love a lot of the same music and whenever we are together we are always cracking jokes, laughing and having a good time! When Mari gets in the zone, her one of a kind artistic style truly shines and she is especially great with stencil work. She is so focused and has such a high attention to detail, sprinkled with an amazingly laid back, fun, unique and creative vibe. Mari is an amazing artist and I have really enjoyed seeing the many different projects that she has created over the years. She drew all of the original VoliteINC. t-shirt designs, which are classic to the official branding of this company. Thank you, MariB!

Here's an original drawing that Mari made especially for Volite, INC.:
