People probably won't know it, but I have to suggest "Everything Possible" 
by Fred Small. Beautiful song, and I'm pretty sure someone perfomed it at a 
Hava Nashira Beit Cafe this past year.

Here's the chorus:

You can be anybody you want to be,
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around,
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done.

need not email Billy Jonas with info on me, I've gotten in touch with him!
