The Twenty Third Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green Pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake,
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, thy rod and staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Meditation Thoughts on the Twenty Third Psalm.
The Twenty-third Psalm is one of the most powerful pieces of writing in existence, and it can do marvelous things for any person. Charles Allen, author of 'God's Psychiatry' says that he has suggested this psalm to many people and, in every instance in which he know of it being tried, it has produced results. He says that this psalm can change your life very quickly.
Allen suggests that you read this psalm 5 time a day for one week. Read it the first thing when you wake up in the morning. Read it carefully, meditatively, and prayerfully. Read it again immediately after breakfast. Do exactly the same thing, immediately after lunch, again after dinner, and, finally, the last thing before you go to bed.
Don't just go through the motions and chant it quickly. Instead, think about each phrase, giving your mind-time to soak up as much of their meaning as possible. At the end of just one week, things would be different, he says.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "A man is what he thinks about all day long." Norman Vincent Peale says, "Change your thoughts and you change your world." The Bible says, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).
The Twenty-third Psalm is a pattern of thinking, and. when the mind becomes saturated with it, a new way of thinking and a new life results.
Twenty-third psalm represents a positive, hopeful, faith approach to life. It is believed to have been written by David, who had a black chapter of sin and failure in his life. But David chose not to dwell on his past mistakes. He chose to look forward.
Allen talked about a story about an old man and a young man on the same platform before a vast audience of people.
A special program was being presented. As a part of the program each was to repeat from memory the words of the Twenty-third Psalm.
The young man, trained in the best speech technique and drama, gave, in the language of the ancient silver-tongued orator, the, words of the Psalm.
"The Lord is my shepherd ..." When he finished, the audience clapped their hands and cheered, asking him for an encore so that they might hear again his wonderful voice.
Then the old gentleman, leaning heavily on his cane, stepped to the front of the same platform, and in a feeble, shaking voice, repeated the same words-"Lord is my shepherd. . ."
But when he was seated -no sound came from the listeners. Folks seemed to pray. In the silence the young man stood to make the following statement:
"Friends," he said, "I wish to make an explanation. You asked me to come back and repeat the Psalm, but you remained silent when my friend here was seated. The difference? I shall tell you. I know the Psalm, but he knows the Shepherd"
Psalm of David has sung its way across the barriers of time, race, and language. For twenty-five centuries it has been treasured in the hearts of people. Today it is more beloved than ever before. Why? Because it tells that above all the strife and fears, the hungers and weaknesses of mankind, there is a Shepherd.
A Shepherd who knows his sheep one by one, who is abundantly able to provide, who guides and protects and at the close of the day opens the door to the sheepfold-the house not made with hands.
The Twenty-third Psalm gives men the assurance that we are not "alone". That is why it lives in the hearts of men, regardless of race or creed.

| Life Stories - From Yoga to Christ | True story from "Karma to Grace"
Early Ideals
The real spiritual
struggle began in me when my early days of innocence were gone. In my joyful
childhood I did not know what sin was. Even though I had bad thoughts and
committed unworthy deeds I did not bother about them. When I began to feel that
there was a God and was told that I could see Him because every child was
sinless, I thought I could go to forests for mediation to see Him face to face
on some future occasion, like the Rishis1 of whom I heard. In my
care-free boyhood, I beheld beauty in silver streams and blue hills, songs of
the birds and flowers of nature. The vaulted sky with fleecy clouds, the bright
sun by day, the gleaming moon and twinkling stars at night, were very pleasant
to me. There was joy in play and friendship, in food and clothes. But the very
sincere spiritual conflict began in me after I crossed the sequestered vale of
those innocent days.
I was like a fresh
blooming flower and I supposed that I could by means of my brain, as yet
undisturbed by this world of woe, perform any task I wished. I never knew that
this flower was going to be blown on the arid winds of sin and would wither. I
thought that I must, according to noble ideals, become a great writer or great
official to render social service to my countrymen. Thus my goal of life was of
earth.....earthy. While I was in the middle school, I was selected as a member
of the Debating team for the Inter-Middle School Debating Contest. The subject
was: Difference of race and religion are harmful for the welfare of India. Instructed well by my teacher, I spoke in the
debate, saying that a Hindu, a Mohammedan and a Christian who were commanded by
their religious books to lead a virtuous life could live in the bonds of love
and peace if they followed strictly their tenets. I thought God was everywhere
and in everything, and Christ was of course one of the great religious teachers.
Therefore I read the Bible, the Ramayana and the Koran and bowed down to the
idols in the temples. The most interesting lessons to me in history books were
the lessons on the Buddha and Jaina. As I began to grow, I learnt to tell a lie
intelligently and steal cunningly; and I displayed my power of wit in calling
girls names to enjoy some fun. Restlessness of heart began when I became
conscious that several things which I was doing were not noble, good or
honorable. Knowledge of morals and principles of law which I acquired from books were very
unpleasant when my conscience pricked me. I frequented cinema theaters now and
then, listened to gramophone songs and beguiled much time in useless talk with
my friends to get some joy and peace. I wanted to stifle the ever-fault-finding
still small voice within me; but I returned from cinema halls and friends even
more miserable and restless than I had been before.
Trying to Save Myself:
I had a sincere
Brahmin friend with whom I used to read the moral discourse of Swami
Vivekananda, Swami Ramatirtha and Ramakrishna Pramahamsa. We were told that one
could see God by many ways - Gnana Marga or the Way of Knowledge, Bhakti Marga
or the Way of piety, Karma Marga or the Way of Action etc. etc. We were further
instructed that just as several roads lead to a city, so also all religions and
all ways will take you to God. This appealed to us as very rational. In order to
get the first marks in the examinations, I had to work hard. Similarly to achieve salvation, the greatest
thing in the world, I had to work the hardest. We believed that Tat tvam asi
(Thou are that; i.e., Thou are God) and the divine spark, which is dim, must be
enkindled by Yoga which transforms first your body into shining brightness. My
friend and I were proud to know that Christ was born in Asia which is the seat
of several religious philosophies. I thought that by my knowledge of flesh and
blood that Christ was one of the prophets who attained divine nature by his
realization of Tam tvam asi. We began to think - Why was the life of Christ
almost blank until his 30th year? Surely he must have come to India,
made contact with our Rishis and performed penance before he preached.
My Brahmin friend
and I began to practice the Asanas2 and the Pranayama3. In
order to acquire will-power and concentration of mind, we shut ourselves up in a
room and focused our sight on the tip of the nose or an idol - he on that of a
Hindu deity and myself on that of Christ. I remained according to the yogic
prescr i ptions a vegetarian, avoiding onions and spices; and used to fast now and
then to emaciate the body because we thought that lustful thoughts could be
driven out if our bodies were weakened. I tried by self-effort to be a righteous
man. I gave food , clothes and money to poor people and beggars, in spite of
natural reluctance in my heart against which I had to battle to be charitable.
My friend, having finished his first year of college, went to Benaras to join a
math4 . There he was told that he had to perform Yoga for twelve
years, and if was his luck, he would see a flash of light across his mind as a
sign of salvation. The head of the math also told him that, if fortune did not
favor him, they could not guarantee him salvation even after twelve years
penance. He was frightened and returned home, wrecked in health. When we were
still pursuing our own course of life, my father used to tell us, “By faith in
Christ alone you can have salvation. It was a gift of God.” I debated vehemently with my father saying,
“Look at the Christians; what wicked lives they lead! Are they better than
Hindus or Mohammedans? All must work hard to be god.” I used to think , “My father is an old man.
He cannot kneel down in prayer. In order to escape from the rigorous life
Christians always dogmatize like this.”
Failure And Despair
There was assurance
for me that my sins were forgiven by my austere life. When I was sometimes good
by my self-effort it increased my pride and boastfulness. There was no
improvement in my thoughts. My parents loved me and my sisters were proud of me;
my brothers liked me and my friends respected me. I aimed at one noble thing in
life and was searching for God. All these things could not make me truly joyful.
I had everything in this world that a student could desire; but I was like the
one Christ warned, “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?” By spiritual
darkness and misfortunes my health declined and my mind was deeply depressed. My
spiritual struggle reached a deadly climax. I used to complained bitterly
against God: Am I not , O God, more mindful of Thee than my brothers and
sisters? Why art Thou doing to me like this? Am I am not seeking Thee? But I now
realize why God allowed those painful times in my life. Is it not true that all
things work together for the good of them that love Him? I gave up reading the
Bible and religious books and lost interest in prayer. I had no assurance, and
in spite of all my advantages in this world, that I was able to keep myself pure
and righteous by my self-effort or will-power, knowledge or charity. I was tired
of God and desired death. I groaned grievously, “Oh to be a child again and when
I can think again afresh of God and perform penance in a lively manner!” I
thought that it was better for me to put an end to my life so that I might come
again into this world as a child in the next life. The Hindu philosophy of Cycle
of Births was a baneful stimulus to my thought of suicide. I was afraid of
suicide whenever I was reminded of the words uttered by my father at news of
suicides that no one but God had the right to take life. I knew well now that
the invisible hand of God withheld me from this terrible sin. The doctors
examined me and said, “This boy suffers from no disease. He must eat well.” My mother wept bitterly for me and brought me
to Madras for further medical treatment. I was thoroughly examined by expert
physicians of the Government General Hospital and they too could not diagnose
any disease in me. I knew that spiritual gloom was the cause of my ill-health. A
cousin of mine came to me one day and took me to a gospel meeting. There the
message preached was, “Christ can save you from any kind of sin. He shed His
blood for your sins. Come to him. Confess your sins, believe in His blood; and
He will give you peace, joy and rest.”
Peace at Last
I had hitherto
depended on my will-power and self-effort. But God showed me by the foregoing
incidents in my life that these were powerless. There was nothing in my life
which I could trust. He brought me to a state of helplessness and nothingness
and I could not gainsay the Gospel. I simply believed it like a child. A servant
of God anointed my head with oil and prayed for my health in the name of Christ.
My failing memory was restored, and my weak body strengthened. Thoughts of
suicide faded away. I thought I could not continue my studies, but God enabled
me to pass the B.A. with the highest
success in the University. The Bible became a living book to me and my desire
for prayer increased. New thoughts, new health, new mind, new heart ....
everything in me became new, new!! New !!! Because I was in Christ, I became a
new creature, old things are passed away.. Behold, all became new. The sense of
my sin was taken away because Christ became my righteousness. I was like a
child; I was born again. There was no need for me to put an end to my life
according to the Cycle of Births. I can declare with utmost veracity and
sincerity that Christ cleansed me and gave me joy, rest and peace, not as the
world gives. I now realize that salvation is so great a thing that none can do
anything to get it. It is most priceless; it is the gift of God through Jesus
Christ to everyone who confesses his sin, believes in the blood of Christ and
accepts Him as personal Savior.

| One Day at a Time | |
One day at a time, with its failures and fears,
With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears,
With its portion of pain and its burden of care;
One day at a time we must meet and must bear. One day at a
time to be patient and strong,
To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong;
Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease;
It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace.
One day at a time - but the day is so long,
And the heart is not brave, and the soul is not strong,
O Christ, be Thou near all the way;
Give courage and patience and strength for the day. Swift
cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet;
"Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet;
I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve;
I will not forsake thee; I never will leave." Not
yesterday's load we are called on to bear,
Nor the morrow's uncertain and shadowy care;
Why should we look forward or back with dismay?
Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day. One day at a
time, and the day is His day;
He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay.
His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone;
As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own.

| The Five Fingers of Prayer | |
1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty."
2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.
4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger; as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.
5. And lastly comes our little finger; the smallest finger of all. Which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself.
By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight,
just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.
Should you decide to send this to a friend,
you might brighten someone's day!
Pass this on to someone special... I did! God Bless!

| Faith in Doubt | "Faith in Doubt"
Our faith in God is easy when the
Waters 'round are stilled,
When the voyage undertaken finds
Our dreams have been fulfilled.
But holding on to God is hard
When wrestling with our doubt,
And when the storms are fiercest,
And our boat is tossed about.
It's then our faith is shaken,
When the Master's sound asleep,
Not knowing we are sinking, and
The waters 'round are deep.
We wonder then how He, Who's Lord
Of all the land and sea,
Could seem to be so unaware
Of our catastrophe.
It's when our faith seem weakest, God
Will calm the sea and soul,
And when we are most broken that
He'll touch, and make us us whole.
(Sister Miriam Barker-Author)

| Yuwie Tips + Get More Referrals | HOW-TO INCREASE YOUR YUWIE EARNINGS IN DAYS!
This is a guide designed for Yuwie members that really want to build a massive Yuwie network and earn a substantial monthly residual income.
How Do I Make Money With Yuwie? It is really important to know the criteria used by Yuwie to work out your earnings. Yuwie pays you for the number of page views that you generate. Yuwie also pays you on the page views generated by the members that you refer and also the members they refer, 10 levels deep (Your Referral Tree). Yuwie gets paid by advertisers for displaying adverts on the page views that members in your referral tree generate.
What actually counts as a paid page view?
When anyone views any of these pages, it counts as 1 page view for you:
• Your profile page
• Your blog pages
• View all your friends
• View all your comments
• Your picture pages
• If someone views one of your share layouts.
When you view any of these pages, it counts as 1 page view.
Any of your control panel pages, including but not limited to: settings, messaging, friends, referrals, favourites, etc.
The following does not count as a page view:
• Refreshing/reloading a page.
• Any page that’s viewed within 3 seconds of the last page doesn’t count.
How Much Can I Earn With Yuwie?
We can't say exactly, but here's an example of what could happen. The chart below assumes you refer 3 people, and those 3 people refer 3, then those refer 3, through 10 levels, and each referral gets 1000 page views for the month, and the month's RSR is $0.50.
Level Referrals Page Views Percentage Earnings
1 3 3000 10% $0.15
2 9 9,000 10% $0.45
3 27 27,000 10% $0.54
4 81 81,000 4% $1.62
5 243 243,000 4% $4.86
6 729 729,000 4% $14.58
7 2,187 2,187,000 4% $43.74
8 6,561 6,561,000 10% $328.05
9 19,683 19,683,000 10% $984.15
10 59,049 59,049,000 30% $8,857.35
Total 88,572 88,572,000 $10,235.49
Results are not guaranteed. This is just an example of what could happen.
The RSR (Revenue Sharing Rate) and the page views on each level determine how much you get paid. Here's how it works. After each month, a report will be generated in your earnings area. It will show exactly how many views your referral tree accumulated on each level. It will also show your earnings for each level. Here's the actual calculation: RSR x (Page Views/1000) x Level Percentage = Your Earnings
How can I get more page views?
The best way to get more page views is to add more content to your profile. Leave comments for friends, upload more pictures, and maintain an active blog. All of this activity will cause more people to view more pages on your profile. The more active you are, the more page views you'll get. Remember, whenever you add something to your profile, all your friends get notified through their friend feed.
Rate the profiles of your friends, read their blogs and leave comments.
Share useful information with your friends my sending out network messages and personal messages.
Join the Make More Yuwie Friends Club:
http://clubs.yuwie.com/morefriends/
Make as many friends as possible and interact with your friends to increase your page views.
Reply to messages from your friends, also read their comments and reply back if necessary.
Using Leverage To Boost Your Yuwie Earnings
You will need to generate over 50 Million page views to earn a substantial monthly income using Yuwie. It is virtually impossible to generate over 50 Million page impressions on your own. If you just relied on your own activity to earn money on Yuwie, you would not earn much.
A small number of Yuwie members understand the income potential offered by the 10 level deep referral tree structure offered by Yuwie.
The leverage offered by the 10 level deep referral tree is huge. If you build a structure like the one in the example, you could earn over $10,000 residual income each and every month.
If the three members that you referred to Yuwie also referred three members each, and the members they referred also done the same, down to your 10th Level, you would have 88,572 members in your referral tree.
From my own experience with Yuwie, I can tell you that this did not happen for me. I had to refer over 100 members myself, before my referral tree started to grow from the activity of the members that I referred.
Not everyone will see the earning potential offered by Yuwie. This is because they joined Yuwie for FREE and they have never got much out of anything that was FREE before.
What I would like to point out is that the MySpace social network generates millions every month from advertisers. None of that money is ever seen by its members.
Yuwie is not trying to create a new advertising model, Yuwie is using a proven advertising model and sharing the revenue with its members. Social networks attract a large number of members that keep on coming back to it day after day. This has created an advertising platform that works well online. MySpace has over 100 Million registered members.
Yuwie is still new, the members that take advantage of the referral program offered by Yuwie will have an excellent chance to earn a substantial monthly income from Yuwie. Just remember that you joined Yuwie for FREE and everyone can also join Yuwie for free anywhere in the world.
Yuwie offers everyone the same opportunity worldwide. It’s FREE to join and everyone has the opportunity to build a referral tree that can earn them a substantial monthly income.
Some people complain about not having had a opportunity to build a sizable income using the internet. The opportunity is here, it is Yuwie… It’s FREE, but worth $1000’s monthly.
A small number of visionaries will become the pegs in the 3x3 plan, they will build the largest referral trees and also pile up the highest number of page views. These member will also get the biggest slice of Yuwies monthly revenue. Just imagine what Yuwie’s monthly revenue will be when it reaches the same size as MySpace!
This could happen in 24 months, or less… The membership is starting to follow the exponential model… Take advantage of this wave of signups, don’t wait until it starts to level off. The largest amounts of money is made by people that follow trends and ride the wave… The Yuwie wave has just started to peak, are you ready for the ride?
How To Refer More Members
You will need to refer more than three members to find the people that will also have a strong desire to build a large referral tree. I have referred more than 100 members myself to find a select few that are ready to build a large Yuwie referral tree.
I will now introduce you to some of the marketing methods that are working for success Yuwie members to bring in referrals daily.
You will need to know your Yuwie referral URL. Your Yuwie referral URL will be in the format: http://ww9.yuwie.com/yuwie.asp?r=xxxxx
Where xxxxx will be replaced by your Yuwie ID.
You can get this from your Yuwie home page. It’s located on the left hand side under Your Referral URL:

Patrick Web’s Secret To Success With Yuwie
After Patrick Web posting a note on Yuwie about reaching 1,000 plus referrals he started getting a lot of messages from Yuwie members asking him to reveal his secrets.
Patrick says that there is no secret involved, he is sharing his methods with all Yuwie members. Patrick is also new to Yuwie like most of us, we are all trying to figure out Yuwie. Patrick answers some questions put to him:
How are you doing this? (very simply)
How do I motivate people? (I educate - I don't motivate)
How do I convince people that Yuwie is not a scam? (Simply - I have never heard of a scam that doesn't require the scammed to surrender money)
Are you spamming people? (ABSOLUTELY NOT!)
RE: Spam, Patrick has a very simple philosophy on that subject and here it is.
"Trying to build an honest business on the money received by spamming people, is like trying to build a church from the money earned at a brothel" Patricks Methods:
• Use the Craig's List and Myspace techniques
• Tell your friends about Yuwie
• Keep in touch with your down line via personal e-mails, blogs and posts. Try to contact everyone in your first 3 levels directly.
• Copy and post/blog any good advice that you receive.
The fact is that I actually don't put too much time into Yuwie because of my other commitments in life. I wish that I could do much more. It is my down line that is doing all of the work. It's YOU guys that I need to thank you all for getting me as far as I am in Yuwie. You see once this snowball really starts rolling then the referrals just start growing and growing.
The Routine:
Here is a routine based on Partick’s original.
How To Find First Level Referrals:
• Post in Craig's List and Myspace ads
• Post messages to your friends on Myspace
• Tell your personal friends about Yuwie
When Someone Signs Up On Your First Level
1 - Post a comment on their page
Comment - "Welcome to Yuwie and let me know if I can help, read my blogs etc..."
You can post more
2 - Send 3 personal messages
• Message 1 – “The Yuwie Master Plan” (a link to download this ebook)
• Message 2 - " How Much Can I Earn With Yuwie?" (attach the tree diagram)
• Message 3 - "Marketing Tools" Create a blog or webpage with your affiliate links for online marketing tools that you are using (traffic exchanges, safelists, paid to read…). You can also send them links to marketing tools that are working for you offline.
When People Sign Up On Levels 2 and 3
You can only see the first 3 levels of your referral tree, but if you really work at those three levels, then the rest of the tree should take care of it's self. Contact everyone in your 2nd and 3rd level, and issue a friend request, stating that they are in your downline and that you would love to become their friend and share advice on how to make their Yuwie account a success. Then post the exact same comments and messages as you would with your first level friends. Post more if you have the time of course. Note #1: Some profiles are set to private. If this happens, then simply rate the person's profile, and do NOT Rate it anonymously. If you give a decent rating, then that person may add you as a friend. You will also want to research the higher level and see if you can determine who their sponsor is, and ask the sponsor to advise their downline members to make their profiles public. Note #2: If you come across profiles that have no layouts, suggest to that person that they dress up their page. First impressions are everything!

| I hope you Dance. | Dancing with God
When I meditated on the word GUIDANCE, I kept seeing
"dance" at the end of
the word. I remember reading that doing God's will
is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow
with the music; and everything is quite
uncomfortable and jerky. When one
person realizes that and lets the other lead, both
bodies begin to flow with
the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a
gentle nudge to the body
or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become
one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes
surrender, willingness, and
attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance
and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the work "GUIDANCE". When I
saw "G" I thought of God,
followed by "u" and "i". "God," "u," "i," "dance."
God, you and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that
I would get guidance
about my life. Once again, I became willing to let
God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and
mercies be upon you this
day and everyday. May you abide in God as God
abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to
guide you through each
season of your life.
"I HOPE YOU DANCE!!!!!!!!!!"
I Hope You Dance
lyrics by Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
Time is a wheel in constant motion always
Rolling us along
Tell me who
Wants to look back on their youth and wonder
Where those years have gone
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
