Guillaume --- English Translation: God's will be done. (Fiat voluntas Dei.) God of Providence, you who have never failed us, Be blessed now and always. you created All things with an eternal love, For our greater good you gave them to us; the bird, our brother, does not sow nor harvest; Though for him to be fed, oh Lord, you provide. A simple lily, a tiny flower, Surpasses the splendor of the great King Solomon. God of Providence, you who have never failed us, Be blessed now and always. Why must we worry of the things to come? Why so many concerns for our future? God of Providence, Master of the Universe, you give to your children more than is needed. In spite of our fears and despite our misfortunes, In our moments of joy and even in our pains, We implore you, oh Lord, God of Providence, you offer us always your divine presence.

I sat you down and told you how the truest love that's ever found was for oneself you pulled apart my theory With a weary and disinterested sigh So yes I guess I'm asking you To back a horse that's good for glue And nothing else But find a man that's truer than, Find a man that needs you more than I Sit with me a while And let me listen to you talk about your dreams and your obsessions I'll be quiet and confessional the violets explode inside me when I meet your eyes then I'm spinning and I'm diving Like a cloud of starli...    arent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
