7. "Corner Stone", a song by Bob Marley

"Corner Stone"
(-- a song
by
Bob Marley)

The Stone
that the Builder refused
will always be
the head cornerstone.

The Stone
that the Builder refused
will always be
the head cornerstone.

You're
a Builder,
baby.

Here I am
a Stone.

Don't you pick
and refuse me --
'cause the things
people refuse
are the things
they should use!

Do you hear me?
Hear what I say!

The Stone
that the Builder refused
will always be
the head cornerstone.

The Stone
that the Builder refused
will always be
the head cornerstone!

I can be
soft as a pillow,
weep
like a willow,
caress,
and bring happiness!

Don't refuse me.
Don't you refuse!
Don't -- don't --
don't you refuse!

3. "To be a child" -- Francis Thompson, English Poet and Writer (1859 - 1907), quotations

Quotations
from
Francis Thompson,
English Poet and Writer 
(1859 - 1907)

"All things
by
immortal power
near or far,
hiddenly
to

each other
linked
are,
that thou

canst not
stir
a flower
without

troubling
of
a star."

“An atheist

is a man
who believes
himself
to be
an accident”

“Look for me
in
the nurseries
of Heaven.”

“Know you
what it is
to be
a child?

It is to be
something
very different
from
the man
of today.

It is to have
a spirit
yet streaming
from
the waters
of baptism;
it is
to believe
in love,
to believe
in loveliness,
to believe
in belief;
it is
to be so little
that
the elves
can reach
to whisper
in your ear;
it is
to turn
pumpkins
into
coaches,
and mice
into horses,
lowness
into
loftiness,
and nothing
into everything,
for each child
has
its fairy godmother
in its
own soul.”
