Day Three - The Rising

The Rising: Bruce Springstein

Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I've gone
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
On my back's a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder a half mile line

Come on up for the rising
Com on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li

Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light

Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li

I see you Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children
Dancin' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of the line

Sky of blackness and sorrow (a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness (a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear (a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow (a dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life (a dream of life)

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li

This song is the last one we did with my choir at the end of our spring show last year. Everyone did it, my friends and I all held hands and Threw up the hand-sign for Li, it was so much fun. Matt and I were singing this on the bus to sing at graduation with Acapella, and it's been stuck in my head. =) Thought I'd share this one today. ^_^

Day Two - At Your Side

"At Your Side" - The Corrs

When the daylight's gone and you're on your own
And you need a friend just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through, I will understand

And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

If life's standing still and your soul's confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes (make mistakes)
You can't let me down (let me down)
I will still believe (still believe)
I will turn around

And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side
You know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go,
'Cos I'm right there
I'll be at your side, I'll be right there for you
(Together we'll survive) through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go,
'Cos I'm at your side

I'll be right there for you
I'll be right there for you, yeah
I'm right at your side

-----------------------------------

This came out in 2000, not a lot of people know of the Corrs, but i really like them. They're mellow but still have something to say. I picked this one because... Well everyone has problems, but everyone should have someone they can go to for help in a time of need. One time i was talking to a friend, and they said "Sorry to drop this on your doorstep." My only response was "My door is always open" =) I'm always gonna be here for my friends, as long as i am able, and sometimes i think people need reminding. ^_^

Hopeless Romantic

To start of the blog, one i wrote called Hopeless Romantic. =)

Hopeless Romantic
-----------------
When I see - Your face
It brings a light to the dark
When I see - Your smile
It brings hope to the pain
and it makes me makes me makes me remember
That maybe everything'll be - O - K
*Chorus
Cuz I'm - a - Hopeless hopeless hopeless Romantic
All - I - Need is you to light up my Li~i~ife
Cuz I'm - a - Hopeless hopeless hopeless Romantic
All - I - Need is your lovin me
Cuz I Cry~y~y - in the night
But I~I~I will always always always remember - You~u
*Chorus End
Cuz i spend so much Ti~me
And i'm wa~a~aiting - for a light - in my life
Cuz i kno~o~ow it won't be you
No not anymore
*Chorus
Seems like everything I'm waiting for
won't - come - true
And it's never you, it's never you it's never you
*Chorus
A~always remember - You~u

I actually wrote this just today, Inspired by my friends and one of the characters in the story I'm writing. I am a Hopeless Romantic, but yeah. I hope you like it, comments are nice if you read this. Sorry about the dashes and squiggles,it's how i remember where the pauses and drawing out of words go, and i thought it might help you imagine where it goes. ^_^

This blog...

is a place for posting lyrics and songs that touch or inspire you, i know music has helped me through the dark parts of my life, so I'd like to extend that help to anyone else out there who's been helped through by music. If you'd be interested in authoring as well please send me an email at lauren.badkitty@gmail.com and I'll let you know. It's set up in a way that you post the lyrics or a clip of lyrics from a song, and after explain why that song. It can be stuff we write or stuff that exists, really anything. Enjoy!
