Don't kill me for my enthusiasm; but I
Edited on Sat May-27-06 06:15 AM by lildreamer316
already have a suggestion for the campaign song.
"Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds
I know this sounds hoplessly foolish and idealistic; but I have faith.
Just wanted to post--it was my idea first dammit!
(as it sinks like a stone)...

You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you
You lift me up, dont you ever stop, I'm here with you
Now it's all or nothing
cause you say you'll follow through
You follow me, and i, i, I follow you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
Whats it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Whos got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Whos gonna save you?
Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is, alive and kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, alive

Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
Youll take me home where the magic's from
And I'll be with you

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
Whats it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Whos got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Dont say goodbye
Dont say goodbye
In the final seconds whos gonna save you?

Oh, alive and kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, alive and kicking
Oh, alive and kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, alive and kicking

1. Good song nomination - I like it!
We have some time to think on this issue...

I want it to reflect the fact that it would be a power-powered candidacy - not the miracle-worker coming down from the clouds, but initiated by and powered by the people.

The ONLY way we are going to get the change we really want to see - is to BE that change.

And, yes, when the students are ready, the teacher(s) will come.
