My songs
I have found my song.
I have had a lot through the years. They change as I change. But this one, I think, I might be something I hold on to, at least for a while. It's how I live. Plus I like the song, and the singer. I've had the CD for awhile now, I just really realized that this song is me.
I Stand - Idina Menzel
When you ask me who I am,
What is my vision, do I have a plan,
Where is my strength, have I nothing to say?
I hear the words in my head and I push them away.
Because I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love 'til it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
I stand for the strange and lonely
I believe there's a better place,
I don't know if the sky is heaven,
But I pray anyway.
And I don't know what tomorrow brings,
The road less traveled, will it set us free?
'Cause we're taking it slow, with these tiny legacies,
If I don't try to change the world,
Then what would you make of me.
'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love 'til it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
I stand for the strange and lonely,
I believe there's a better place.
I don't know if the sky is heaven,
But I pray anyway.
Honorable mentions can go to a couple other songs, with equally powerful and appropriate words. Since I'm in a sharing sort of mood, here they are:
Unwritten - Natasha Beddingfield
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window,
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it, Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Brave - Idina Menzel (I seriously love her)
Don't know just where I'm going
And tomorrow, it's a little overwhelming
And the air is cold, And I'm not the same anymore
I've been running in your direction
For to long now
I've lost my own reflection
And I can't look down
If you're not there to catch me when I fall.
If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my rite of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid, but it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid, cause it's my turn to be brave
All along all I ever wanted, was to be the light
When your life was daunting
But I can't see mine When I feel as though you're pushing me away
Well who's to blame, are we making the right choices
Cause we can't be sure if we're hearing our own voices
As we close the door even though we are so desperate to stay
If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my rite of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid, But it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid, Cause it's my turn to be brave
And I might still cry
And I might still bleed
These thorns in my side
This heart on my sleeve
And lightening may strike
This ground at my feet
And I might still crash
But I still believe
This is the moment I stand here all alone
With everything I have inside, everything I own
I might be afraid, But it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last time before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid, Cause it's my turn to be brave
