Then you're there, in the tunnel, stuck in the dark

"There's always light after the dark. You have to go through that dark place to get to it, but it's there, waiting for you. It's like riding on a train through a dark tunnel. If you get so scared you jump off in the middle of the ride, then you're there, in the tunnel, stuck in the dark. You have to ride the train all the way to the end of the ride."

And if the pow'rs of human virtue fail

"Here sleep the relics of an orphan flower,
Crush'd by the brutal foot of lawless pow'r;
Another victim to the thousands slain
Within the mighty slaughterhouse of gain.
O! come ye kind philanthropists, who feel
The noblest int'rests in the people's weal,
Pause on this infant-martyr's new turn'd grave, 
Swear to emancipate the British slave;
Tell the oppressor, that the widow's God,
Injustice, wields an all-avenging rod.
And if the pow'rs of human virtue fail,
The hand of heaven will certainly prevail."
- Death of a Factory Child, John Critchley Prince

I would ride with you upon the wind

"Come fairies,
take me out of this dull world. 
For I would ride with you upon the wind
and dance upon the mountains like a flame"

As long as you spread the kindness

"i truly believe if we love enough
the earth will love us back. 
you are made of wind
and fire
and rain
and dust
and as long as you spread kindness
consistently and abudantly, 
the flowers and trees
will grant you freedom. 

your body will be so warm,
the sun will ask you to dance, 
and you will feel so wonderful, 
there is no way you
wouldn't say
yes."
