You look around what do you see?
I'll tell you what I see is a world belonging to me
Take time to find what you may dream
It's all right there within your grasp
Just beyond what you can see
We're the ones, the only ones, strong ones, proud ones
We're living for today
Those for the past and tomorrow they'll have hell to pay
And if your life is going by to fast
It's time for you to slow down
Time for you to make it last
Before you trip and slip and you will miss this happy little stepping stone
Just before eternal bliss your life goes by before you know
You gotta take time to slow down
Better take time to veer off the road enjoy the sights
While you are here there's nothing to fear but fear itself
Who knows when the end is near
Don't make plans with your hands tied
You'll never know you're missing out
Repeatedly on the things that help you grow
You've got to own your soul
You've got to take control
Find a one day plan young man get this straight
Live for today

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
