all my little plans and schemes - nothing but a bunch of dreams. all i really needed to do - was maybe some love. i don't expect you to understand - the kingdom of heaven is in your hand. i don't expect you to wake from your dreams - too late for pride now it seems. why must we be alone? it's real, love - yes, it's real. -- john lennon

Joan freaking Baez. Maybe the best concert I have ever been to. For reals. She is completely prophetic. I love her with the fire of a thousand suns. I had that feeling you get sometimes when you feel like your body cannot possibly contain yourself, like if you don't scream or cry or run a marathon you will most likely not live through the moment. Frick, she is fantastic. Read these lyrics.

I believe in prophecy.
Some folks see things not everybody can see
And, once in a while
they pass the secret along to you and me

And I believe in miracles
Something sacred burning in every bush and tree
We can all learn to sing the songs the angels sing

Yeah, I believe in God
And God ain't me

I've traveled around the world
Stood on mighty mountains and gazed across the wilderness
Never seen a line in the sand or a diamond in the dust

And as our fate unfurls,
Every day that passes I'm sure about a little bit less
Even my money keeps telling me it's God I need to trust

And I believe in God
And God ain't us

God, in my little understanding, don't care what name I call
Whether or not I believe doesn't matter at all

I receive the blessings
That every day on Earth's another chance to get it right
Let this little light of mine shine and rage against the night

Just another lesson
Maybe someone's watching and wondering what I got
Maybe this is why I'm here on Earth

and maybe not

But I believe in God
And God is God
