Is it time to turn away from the vast media chatterbox, and stop engaging in their games; the ugly pantomime promotingdiscontent? Concise truths cannot be expected, even from the highest hill, and we fall prey to those pushed buttons in our minds. Why not try an escape, take flight from the everyday hovering over us and take yourself even through imagination, to a beautiful surround like the one below?
“I see it’s still standing,” smiling as he recalls days of gathering here. He and his fellow soldiers were on leave—tired, hungry and ready for a bit of home.

“Hey, sonny, is this an Uber? I’ve heard of that brand and always wanted to ride in one. Do you go through any McDonald’s drive thrus? I could sure use some french fries!

Didn’t know that I’d fall so hard Then my feet left the ground Gravity don’t make no sense when you’re around I come up against myself when Demons in my head get loud I don’t know how you do it, but you turn them down
I slip and wonder who I’d be If I never found you and you never found me Well, I don’t wanna see
So won’t you give me tonight And the rest of your life? I wanna have it all with you I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes I’ll be there by your side I wanna have it all with you I wanna have it all with you
‘Cause your love is biblical Biblical, it’s biblical
If you evеr go to pieces Fall between thе thunder clouds I will put you back together, I won’t let you down
I slip and wonder what I’d do If you never found me and I never found you I don’t know what I’d do
So won’t you give me tonight And the rest of your life? I wanna have it all with you I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes I’ll be there by your side I wanna have it all with you I wanna have it all with you
I wanna have it all I wanna have it all I wanna have it, I wanna have it all ‘Cause your love is biblical It’s biblical, it’s biblical
So won’t you give me tonight And the rest of your life? I wanna have it all with you I wanna have it all with you
So come on and give me tonight And the rest of your life I wanna have it all with you I wanna have it all with you
And when you open your eyes I’ll be there by your side I wanna have it all with you I wanna have it all with you
‘Cause your love is biblical It’s biblical, it’s biblical
