But with your mind.

I feel the necessity of reiterating the lyrics behind the name of this blog. Perhaps for no one else's benefit except my own. These words are like the blood that runs through my veins, forcing my heart to pump. Adage is not the right word, but its the first that comes to mind.

There’s a dream that I see, I pray it can be
Look cross the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
I Dream that I see, don’t kill it, it’s free
You’re just a man, you get what you can

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

Listen to me, don’t walk that street
There’s always an end to it
Come and be free, you know who I am
We’re just living people

We won’t have a thing
So we’d got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

You’ve got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We won’t have a thing
So we’ve got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

But with your mind

Caroline--I need your expertise. I'm making another blog for myself and I need to think of a url. ______.wordpress.com. I can't think of any ideas at all!
