Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Hello Roy. Angelina is very cool. Here’s a video of several artists performing Unchained Melody over the years and wrapping up with Angelina about age 12. Never heard of her until today.

Howdy Tom. Thanks for the link. Angelina has posted more than 150 videos including about 7 of her own compositions. She just turned 16 and has a very large Band of Angels who folow her. She has the most beautiful, enchanting voice I have ever heard – and that goes back more than 70 years. She just recently signed with her first record label, Republic. You, and the world, will soon be very conscious of her.
The phrasing was spectacular in Angelina’s singing
Trang, it is her phrasing that elevates her beautiful voice into another realm altogether. She has covered many artists in many styles. She makes each song her own with subtle variations in timing and pronunciation. Example: YOU are the one vs. You are the ONE. There are many “reactors” on Youtube who play songs and react to them. Most of them are just ooh and ahh types but there are professional musicians and voice teachers also. The pros pick up on all the subtlties and are uniformly impressed with her. Here is one example:

Just when I think the world has completely gone to shit and that all hope is lost, Vanderluen goes and posts one of these “Something Wonderful” videos and brings me back from the brink. Thank you sir. You are appreciated more than you know.
Five years old, acting like an adult while playing to the camera. May God have mercy on this child.
Estoy Listo-
Babies are so much smarter than we give them credit for. This was really adorable.
I showed it to my 3 year old grandson, figuring he’d like it. He loved it once. I asked if he wanted to see it again or if it was too much. He watched it a second time and then said “too much”! He will gladly listen to the lollipop song by the Chordettes a million times though.
Awesome! Amazing! Wonderful.
Thanks for the diversion in these depressing times. I forwarded it to all the usual suspects and the response was totally uplifting. We need more of this and we will come out on top.
She’s a cutie, and has some stage presence.
