HAPPY BIRTHDAY GODDESS!!!!
Happy 25th Jai, and may this day bring you all the happiness and light that you deserve. And in the spirit of you being the "light that guides the lost from their shadows of dissillusionment"... I give thee the complete lyric to one of my favorite songs. They have always reminded me of you... I hope they are enjoyed. I wish you could hear the tune as well, but I'll make do.

"Surrounded"
by: Dream Theater
Morning comes to early and nighttime falls to late.
And sometimes all I want to do is wait.
The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today.
I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye.
But I will raise a shelter to the sky.
And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie.
She will slowly yeild the light as I awaken from the longest night.
Dreams are shaking, set sirens waking up tired eyes.
With a light the memories all rush into his head.
By a candle stands the mirror of his heart and soul she dances.
She was dancing through the night above his bed.
And walking to the window he throws the shutters out against the wall.
And from an ivory tower hears her call,
"Let the light surround you."
It's been a long, long time
he's had awhile to think it over.
In the end he only sees the change
light to dark,
dark to light.
Light to dark,
dark to light.
Heaven must be more than this when angels waken with a kiss.
Sacred hearts won't take the pain but mine will never be the same.
He stands before the window, his shadows slowly fading from the wall.
And from an ivory tower hears her call,
"Let the light surround you!"
Once lost but I was found,
when I heard the staind glass shatter all around me.
I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill.
But I will hold this one on high above me still.
She whispers words to clear my mind,
I once could see, but now at last I'm blind.
I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye.
But I have given all that I could take.
And now I've only habits left to break.
Tonight I'll still be lying here...
surrounded...
in all the light.
