Then Job replied: "Indeed, I know that this is true. But how can a mortal be righteous before God? Though one wished to dispute with him, he could not answer him one time out of a thousand. His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger. He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars. He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. He is the Maker of the Bear (Arcturus)and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him. [Job 9:1-11 NIV]
I Once Was A Girl
When When I was a girl
and like a girl I did twirl
I dressed puppies in pajamas
and stuck my thumb in pies
blueberry and rhubarb and raisin
When I was a girl
and like a girl I did twirl
I turned kites into paperdolls
and ran from witches
up stairways of soot and cobwebs
When I was a girl
and like girl I did twirl
I formed castles from clay
I sang into spinning fans
that blew through screened windows
When I was a girl
and like a girl I did twirl
I hid in bundles in barns
and popped my cowgirl gun
and kissed a boy and held his hand
When I was a girl
and like a girl did twirl

"Dog & Butterfly"
by Heart
Lyrics:
There I was with the old man
Stranded again, so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities, of gettin' what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said "No, no, no, no, no child"
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
The dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She rolled back down
To the warm soft ground laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly
Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires, frozen strangers
Stealing your fires
The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find
Are see the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
And she rolled back down to the warm soft ground
While laughing to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly
We're getting older, the world's getting colder
For the life of me, I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' , making us give in
Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide
We're balanced together, ocean upon the sky
Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
Just begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly (dog and butterfly)
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
And she rolled back down to the warm soft
Ground with a little tear in her eye, yeah
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly, yeah
Up in the air he like to fly
The dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
And she rolled back down
To the warm soft ground, laughing
She don't know why, but she had to try
She had to try
Dog and butterfly
