  2. it was september and high time to raise the timeworn question. Candy knocked back her shot and slammed the empty glass down on the bar, lined it up with the other four. she sucked down the last of her Budweiser and pushed a wad of cash toward the bartender. he winked. she sneered and swaggered out of the honkytonk. she drove a winding path home and blasted through the front door. ‘Hey Honey’ she hollered up the stairs. ‘Thanksgiving at my parents’ or yours this year?’

  3. Raise up, finally. Ich bin upgeraister als ich es je für möglich gehalten hätte. Es ist nicht nur so, dass ich die Erwartungen anderer erfüllen könnte (in gewisser Hinsicht zumindest), sondern was “die anderen” erwarten ist mir sogar weitgehend egal.

  5. I can’t see anything. My world is blacking out. The darkness creeps into the corners of my vision, uninvited. I need just a little more time, oh my goodness, just a little more time. I need to raise my head and keep running. I need to keep going, never give up. Never.

  6. We raised up our arms, splayed fingers a jubilant greeting to a waking sun. No one smiled, no one laughed; we simply stood in the early sunshine, still cold, ignoring all else but the joy in something so pure.

  7. Raise your voice, if you feel the need. I’m not going to stop you. I know what you’re going to say, what you’re going to do, because I know you. You’re petty and immature and naive and I … I don’t know what I want from you anymore. You were my friend, right?

  8. I won’t get a raise
    Unless I get my masters
    Classes I can’t afford
    Time I might have
    Stress I’m not sure I can handle
    Where do I go from here

  9. He looked at me with that same gaze I’d known for 30 years. I knew at that moment what he intended to do as he raised the glass to his lips. I was powerless, and it was over.

  12. People are always trying to raise themselves onto higher pedestals. We’re all born with pride. Pride always has her way of pulling out the red carpet from under our feet. Pride and summertime come before fall.

  13. “Let’s raise the roof! Let’s raise the roof!” was the chant heard as the steady rhythm of rave music pealed through the PA system in the hallways of the mental institution. The orderlies were locked in the quiet room and the patients had full access. “Let’s raise the roof,” chanted Edgar amid the confusion. He had found a crowbar, while Sophia joined him with a box of dry spaghetti as they both headed for the elevator.

  15. Rabbit heart we Raise it up.
    We break down the barriers.
    They know we’re coming.
    They know we’re ready.

    Or is it the victory?
    We know what we want
    and that’s their souls.

  16. The first thing I think of is Josh Groban’s song “You raise me up”. the word raise makes me think of things very inspirational – like the song. It also makes me think of church and God for some reason. It’s a powerful word
