"I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."
-- Hoban Washburne

And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again
-- Stan Rogers, Mary Ellen Carter

Oh, the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers.
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to non-believers -
come and stand beside us; we can find a better way.
-- John Denver, Rhymes and Reasons

Do you hear the people sing, lost in the valley of the night
It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light
For the wretched of the earth there is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise
-- Alain Boublil translated by Herbert Kretzmer, Finale, Les Miserables
