singing my song <3
So recent events with "friends" have had me down but I decided to bust out my old Christina CD last night on the way to Russell's and it did a world of good. I rediscovered some awesome songs (including one from Kairos that I forgot about!!) and I feel MUCH better. It's funny how something as simple as a song can help things make so much sense. So I'm back to using "Singing My Song" as my mantra. It's funny cause it's really all so high school. Ha. So go ahead, keep hanging out without inviting me - you're loss. I'm moving on from it, it's a waste of my time and energy to even stress about people that can't give me the time of day anymore. We grow up, we change, some for the better and some for the worse. It's a fact of life and the quicker I get over it, the better off I'll be. Moreover, I gotta stop letting other people affect how I feel and my life so much. So people haven't been calling me to hang out, it's not like I don't know anyone but THOSE people. I have tons of other acquaintences I can easily call up and invite to happy hour. And dammit, I'm gonna start doing it. When life throws you lemons, find a little kid with papercuts :) (aww I miss my Joey!) ANYway, here's the lyrics for those of you who don't know the song :)
I woke up this morning with a smile on my face (sha-oooh)
and nobody's gonna bring me down today (sha-oooooh)
been feeling like nothing's been going my way lately
i decided right here, right now,
that my outlook's gonna change
that's why i'm gonna
say goodbye
to all the tears i've cried
every time somebody hurt my pride
feelin' like they won't let me live life,
and take the time to look at what is mine
i see
every
blessing
so clearly,
and i thank god
for what
i got
from above
Chorus:
i believe they can take anything from me
but they
can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
they can say all they wanna say, about me,
but i'm
i'm gonna carry on, (carry on)
i'mma keep on (keep on) singin' my song (oooh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh)
(la la la la…ect)
i never wanna dwell on the pain again, ooo, no, no
there's no use in relivin' how i hurt back then, ooo, no
rememberin' too well the hell i felt when i was runnin' out of faith, oooh
every step i'm 'bout to take well it's towards a better day
cause i'm about to
say farewell to every single lie
and all the fears i've held too long inside
every time i felt i couldn't try, all the negativity and strife
cause too long, i've been, strugglin' couldn't go on
but now i've found i'm feelin' strong and i'm moving on
chorus
i believe they can take anything from me
but they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
they can say all they wanna say, about me,
but i'm
i'm gonna carry on, (carry on)
i'mma keep on (keep on) singin' my song
(lalala…..ect)
every time i tried to be what they wanted from me
it never came naturally,
so i ended up in misery
was unable to see all the good around me
wasting so much energy on
what they thought of me than simply
just rememberin' to breathe, ooohhhhhhhhh
i'm humanly unable to please everyone at the same time
so now i find my peace of mind living one day at a time
in the end i answer to one god,
comes down to one love
till i get to heaven above
i have made a decision never to give in
till the day i die no matter what
i'm gonna carry on, i'mma keep on singin' my song……
(lalalalalalala…ect)
