"Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what" -Harper Lee

A song for my kids :o)

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

For the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles thats what you do
There’s a love that’s devine
And its yours and its mine, like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one 

“Have I told you lately that I love you” by Rod Stewart

Crash and Burn

Posted: August 10th, 2009 | Author: Ann | Filed under: Lyrics | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

by Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it’s back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It’s hard to find relieve and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can’t take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You’re not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You’re caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can’t face they day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You’re not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it’s over you’ll breathe again
You’ll breath again


A pause for some lyrics!

Blocking out the world with my headphones, heard some new lyrics that hit the bone… thought I’d make a pause with my “Journal Stories” and post them.

“Street Lights” by Kanye West

let me know, do I still got time to grow
things aint always set in stone
with that being, let me know
let me

seems like streetlights glowing
happened to be just like moments
passing, in front of me so
I hopped in, the cab and
I paid my fair, see
I know my, destination
but im just not there
all the streetlights glowing
happened to be just like moments
passing, in front of me so
I hopped in, the cab and
I paid my fair, see
I know my, destination
but im just not there in the streets
in the streets
I’m just not there in the streets
I’m just no there
life’s just not fair


Feeling high and dry…

Posted: July 14th, 2009 | Author: Ann | Filed under: Lyrics | Tags: , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

There’s this one feeling I get every now and then in my life that I just have never been able to describe. It’s like a sense of loss and confusion but at the same time it’s a time to recap and make some new decisions. It’s bittersweet in some way, a yucky feeling deep down mixed with an urgency to review what I’m doing just to make sure it’s what I want, need. Every time I get to this point, I begin to feel a high about certain aspects in my life but at the same time I feel dry inside… and funny enough both those words are one of my favourite songs in the whole world. I’ll try to explain:

Recapitulation: the art of recapturing lost energy stored in the muscles of the body from thoughts & feelings of past events, a natural healing process. Self Re-examination. 

Regret: to feel sorrow or remorse for (an act, fault, disappointment, etc.); to think with a sense of loss

Overcome: to get the better of in a struggle or conflict; conquer; prevail, to overpower or overwhelm in body or mind.

Frustration: a feeling of dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or depression, resulting from unfulfilled needs or unresolved problems.

Thoughtful: occupied with or given to thought; contemplative; meditative; reflective: in a thoughtful mood.

Mute: silent; refraining from speech or utterance. not emitting or having sound of any kind, incapable of speech; dumb.

HIGH AND DRY

Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that’s pretty clever don’t you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle,
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You’d kill yourself for recognition,
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror,
You’re turning into something you are not Read the rest of this entry »
