dynamic elf

when I was young and give and take
and foolish said, my fool awake
when I was young and fever fell
my spirit -- I will not tell
you're on your honor

on your honor

trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true
think of others, the others will think of you
silly rule
golden words make practice
practice makes perfect
perfect is a fault and fault lines change

I believe
my humor's wearing thin
and change
is what I believe in

(from REM, 'i believe', which is running the fuck through my head)
