Artist: Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes you gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Whoa oh oh

Artist: Journey

Here we stand
Worlds apart
Hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you, you, you

Feelin' that it's gone
Can change your mind
If we can't go on
Survive the tide, love divides

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways

If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways

Troubled times
Caught between
Confusion and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes
Promises we make
Were in vain, in vain

If you must go, I wish you love
You'll never walk alone
Take care, my love
Miss you, love

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways

If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you

If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you

I still love you, girl
I really love you, girl

And if he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
No, no

Artist: The Basics

Pictures of places
Memories of faces
Lost on me
I see you running
and I wonder how long 'til you
Find your feet

I think you know
What I'm thinkin'
I know you feel it too
All the pressure
In the moment
When you have to choose

Oh, you can bide your time
For the rest of your life
Keep your options open
So you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize
Or is it fear of failure

Everyone changes
Workin' our way through these fallen leaves
While the branches are breaking
Can't help mistaking if I rest for the trees

I know there's no one
Bad decision
This just can't go on
Stumblin' blind

Oh, you can bide your time
For the rest of your life
Keep your options open
So you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize
Or is it fear of failure

So you keep treading the same ground
Forgetting that you found
The faith you need
You say your future's in limbo

With your head
In the clouds
Don't look down
I am holding you up
With my feet
On the ground
We can make sense of the pictures, places,
memories, faces that we lost on the way

Well, you can bide your time
For the rest of your life
Keep your options open
So you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize

Well, you can bide your time
For the rest of your life
Keep your options open
So you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize
Or is it fear of failure
Or is it fear of failure

Artist: Tears for Fears

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find You acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own desire
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never, never, never, need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

Artist: Collin Raye

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, you might not understand
But a long, long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none
But I loved your grandma so"

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see
And between now and then, 'til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me

I read those words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church
Where me and grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

Artist: LeAnn Rimes

How do I,
Get through the night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,

And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,

And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?

If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby don't you know that you're everything,
Good in my life?

And tell me now,
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

How do I live without you?

How do I live without you baby?]]> 2019-04-10 00:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/erenken7214/k7t4qn1zcwm/wish/350171017 The Candyseller erenken7214 https://padlet.com/erenken7214/k7t4qn1zcwm/wish/350171042 --------------------------------
Song: The Candy Man
Artist: Sammy Davis Jr.

"They do it because they were born to do it, just like Willie Wonka was born to be a candy man."

Alright everybody gather 'round
The Candy Man is here
What kind of candy do you want
Sweet choc'late
Choc'late malted candy
Gum drops
Anything you want
You've come to the right man
'Cause I'm the Candy Man

Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise)
Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew)
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)

Who can take a rainbow (who can take a rainbow)
Wrap it in a sigh (wrap it in a sigh)
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)

Now you talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes

Oh, who can take tomorrow (who can take tomorrow)
Dip it in a dream (dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)

Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Who can take tomorrow (who can take tomorrow)
Dip it in a dream (dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good (makes the world taste good)

Yes, the Candy Man can

Artist: Rush

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade?

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream 'oppression!'
And the oaks, just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw

Artist: Sheryn Regis

People laugh us they
Stare at you and say
She's got no where to go
But if they only know you're thinkin

Where did I go wrong
How should I move on
Inspite of what I see
They're losing faith in me

You tell your self you believe
That in every feat
It takes a heart to endure
All the pains and grief,
Having the hope to see the best that you can be...

Follow your dream
The courage found within
Your soul is keeping you so strong
That you could rise each time you fall
And stand up on your own
This time you won't go wrong
Just give your best to hold your will
Persistently, become the one
You've always aimed to be

Got to find your place
Where you'll proudly face
The woes that come your way
Sometimes it's hard to say
If you can stick to your desire
Never lose the fire
That burns up light inside for you to win the fight

You tell your self to achieve
You must not retreat
Persist the stops and be tough
If you must compete
Learning the path of fate
By every road you take

except last word

Reaching that peak so high
But you can't describe
All you're fears inside
That one day you might be filled
With worries
You'll find out in time
Every misery meant to make
You feel you're stronger to run free
Repeat

It gives the trees a personified appearance as the maples complained about the oaks height and ended up making a union (this, according to The Alchemist, this can only be understood through the Language of the World). ]]> 2019-04-11 11:08:28 UTC https://padlet.com/erenken7214/k7t4qn1zcwm/wish/350712209 Santiago and "Love, Me" erenken7214 https://padlet.com/erenken7214/k7t4qn1zcwm/wish/350714177 This song represents Santiago's love for Fatima in conjunction with the pursing of his dreams. Similar to what happens in the book, one character can't continue their love at the moment - a result of prior obligations (such as following one's dreams or Personal Legends) - but will never stop loving the other or trying to get back to them when their goals are complete]]> 2019-04-11 11:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/erenken7214/k7t4qn1zcwm/wish/350714177 "Everybody Want to Rule the World" and the 4th Obstacle erenken7214 https://padlet.com/erenken7214/k7t4qn1zcwm/wish/350717686 This song is about the desire of everybody to do what they want to do in life. But, as it is said in the lyrics:

"So glad we've almost made it/So sad they had to fade it/Everybody wants to rule the world"

Not everyone is able to push past the 4th obstacle, Fear of Achieving One's Dreams. Another part of the song refers to why some can't ultimately reach their goal:

"I can't stand this indecision/Married with a lack of vision/Everybody wants to rule the world"

The thought of not having anything to work for after reaching one's goals prevents some from achieving their goal in the first place; even though, it is said in the book that once you accomplish one goal, another will form to keep you moving towards becoming one with the Soul of the World.]]> 2019-04-11 11:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/erenken7214/k7t4qn1zcwm/wish/350717686
