SING!

Okay, I have to admit that I am not much of a singer. In high school I was asked to sing in my friends band, he said I reminded him of Courtney Love, if that tells ya anything.
But I find music so powerful. There are certain songs that I can never get tired of.

Songs that will always make me cry.

Songs that remind me of a time in my life.

Songs that give me strength.

Songs that give me that feeling inside that I just want to burst.

Songs that make you raise your arms to the Heavens.

Songs that say exactly what I feel.

I just love it when there is a song that does all of that! It is like my theme song (for you Ally McBeal fans). You know the one that takes you to another place, you don't care who hears you singing it. It is what is on your heart. For me, that song is Ready by Third Day.
Here are the lyrics:

I’m ready for the winds to change
I’m ready for a brighter day
I’m ready for the sun to shine down on me
I’m waiting for a song to sing
I’m looking for a brand new thing
I’m ready now to live a life that I believe

I want the world to turn because of love
And mercy to find each of us
Doing what we can to just believe
I want the world to know that You’re the One
Who fills me up and gives me hope
And brings about this change that’s in me
Oh yeah, I’m ready, yeah
You know I’m ready now

I’m ready for the truth to be
Something that can set us free
Does anybody still believe we’ll make it through
I’m ready now to take a stand
To live life for more than myself
Tell me now, my friend, are you ready, too

I want the world to turn because of love
And mercy to find each of
us
Doing what we can to just believe
I want the world to know that You’re
the One
Who fills me up and gives me hope
And brings about this change
that’s in me
Oh yeah, I’m ready, yeah
You know I’m ready now

I can’t sit around waiting for it all to change
It’s gonna take every single one of us doing what we can
There’s lots of fighting in this world but there’s so much loving,too
So take my hand, I’m ready now for you

I want the world to turn because of love
And mercy to find each of
us
Doing what we can to just believe
I want the world to know that You’re
the One
Who fills me up and gives me hope
And brings about this change
that’s in me
Oh yeah, I’m ready, yeah
You know I’m ready now
Lord knows I’m ready
You know I’m ready

I’m ready for the winds to change
I’m ready for a brighter day
