“Don't talk back;
Just drive the car.
Shut your mouth;
I know what you are.
Don't say nothing;
Keep your hands on the wheel.
Don't turn around;
This is for real.
Digging in the dirt.
Stay with me, I need support.
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt.
Open up the places I got hurt.”

Peter Gabriel (1950) English singer-songwriter, record producer and humanitarian

“I can't find a word to say to you
I can't comprehend, I can't relate to you

Plain to see your faith for me
Take me higher angel fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know.”

“You tried to love me I know you did,
you racked your brain trying,
to the point of lying,
but matters of the heart
can't be arranged,
and nothing I do can bring a change.”

“Oh I’m on my way, I know I am,
Somewhere not so far from here
All I know is all I feel right now,
I feel the power growing in my hair
Sitting on my own not by myself,
Everybody’s here with me
I don’t need to touch your face to know,
And I don’t need to use my eyes to see”

Cat Stevens (1948) British singer-songwriter
