I'm taking Dela's idea - what gets you thru the day? This one has become my new motto song.

 

"Lessons Learned" by Carrie Underwood

 

There's some things that I regret,

Some words I wish had gone unsaid,

Some starts,

That had some bitter endings,

Been some bad times I've been through,

Damage I cannot undo,

Some things,

I wish I could do all all over again,

But it don't really matter,

Life gets that much harder,

It makes you that much stronger,

Oh, some pages turned,

Some bridges burned,

But there were,

Lessons learned.

 

[Chorus:]

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,

Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,

Every change, life has thrown me,

I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,

I'm grateful, for every scar,

Some pages turned,

Some bridges burned,

But there were lessons learned.

 

There's mistakes that I have made,

Some chances I just threw away,

Some roads,

I never should've taken,

Been some signs I didn't see,

Hearts that I hurt needlessly,

Some wounds,

That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,

But it don't make no difference,

The past can't be rewritten,

You get the life you're given,

Oh, some pages turned,

Some bridges burned,

But there were,

Lessons learned.

 

[Chorus:]

And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,

Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,

Every change, life has thrown me,

I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,

I'm grateful, for every scar,

Some pages turned,

Some bridges burned,

But there were lessons learned.

 

And all the things that break you,

Are all the things that make you strong,

You can't change the past,

Cause it's gone,

And you just gotta move on,

Because it's all,

Lessons learned.

i'll play. this is wilco's "sky blue sky":

 

Oh, the band marched on in formation

The brass was phasing tunes I couldn’t place

Windows open and raining in

Maroon, yellow, blue, gold and gray

 

The drunks were ricocheting

The old buildings downtown

Empty so long ago

Windows broken and dreaming

So happy to leave what was my home

 

 

With a sky blue sky

This rotten time

Wouldn’t seem so bad to me now

Oh, I didn’t die

I should be satisfied

I survived

That's good enough for now

 

 

With a sky blue sky

This rotten time

Wouldn’t seem so bad to me now

Oh, if I didn’t die

I should be satisfied

I survived

That's good enough for now

Stranger than your sympathy

This is my apology

I'm killing myself from the inside out

And all my fears have pushed you out

 

I wish for things that I don't need

All I wanted

And what I chase won't set me free

All I wanted

And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees

 

Oh yeah everything's all wrong yeah

Everything's all wrong yeah

Where the hell did I think I was?

 

Stranger than your sympathy

I take these things so I don't feel

I'm killing myself from the inside out

Now my head's been filled with doubt

 

It's hard to lead the life you choose

All I wanted

When all your luck's run out on you

All I wanted

You can't see when all your dreams are coming true

 

Oh yeah it's easy to forget yeah

You choke on the regrets yeah

Who the hell did I think I was

 

Stranger than your sympathy

All these thoughts you stole from me

I'm not sure where I belong

Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

 

And I wasn't all the things

I tried to make believe I was

And I wouldn't be the one to kneel

Before the dreams I wanted

And all the talk and all the lies

Were all the empty things disguised as me

Yeah stranger than your sympathy stranger than your sympathy

...a love message from God ... :cool:

Oh! Great tune! I didn't get the connection with Townshend's religious beliefs from that song, but when I read the lyrics it actually makes sense (I saw it as a basic "boy tells girl he loves her" thing).

Lyrics to Closer To Love :

She got the call today

One out of the gray

And when the smoke cleared

It took her breath away

She said she didn't believe

It could happen to me

I guess we're all one phone call from our knees

We're gonna get there soon

 

If every building falls

And all the stars fade

We'll still be singin' this song

The one they can't take away

I'm gonna get there soon,

She's gonna be there too

Cryin' in her room

Prayin' Lord, come through

We're gonna get there soon

 

[Chorus:]

Oh it's your light,

Oh it's your way,

Pull me out of the dark

Just to show me the way

Cryin' out now

From so far away...

You pull me closer to love

Closer to love

 

Meet me once again

Down off Lake Michigan

Where we could feel the storm blowin' down with the wind

And don't apologize

For all the tears you've cried

You've been way too strong now for all your life

I'm gonna get there soon,

You're gonna be there too

Cryin' in your room,

Prayin' Lord come through

We're gonna get there soon

 

[Chorus:]

Oh, it's your light

Oh, it's your way

Pull me out of the dark

Just to show me the way

Cryin' out now

From so far away...

Pull me closer to love

Closer to love

 

'Cause you are all that I've waited for

All of my life (We're gonna get there)

You are all that I've waited for

All of my life

You pull me closer to love

Closer to love

Pull me closer to love

Pull me closer to love

Closer to love, oh no

Closer to love

Closer to love

Pull me closer to love

"In the liner notes of Townshend's Gold (Remaster) CD, he refers to this song as 'Jesus sings.'" (Wikipedia, "let my love open the door" entry)

Original work in progress...~ MKH 9/19/2010

 

Here alone, without you to hold me

The smell of you still lingers in my mind

I hold each memory as a sacred part of me

Each time I have to go and leave you behind

 

I'm barely gone and I'm already crying

Barely gone, but inside I know I'm dying

Trying to stay strong

Keep my heart where it belongs

 

Each time just gets harder

but what can I do?

I'm barely gone,

but I'm already missing you.

 

I long for the day I can see your smile

Hear your laugh and feel

your warm breath on my skin

And though I know it's only

for a little while

I love the memories until I can

share them with you again.

 

I'm barely gone and I'm already crying

Barely gone, but inside I know I'm dying

Trying to stay strong

Keep my heart where it belongs

 

Each time just gets harder

but what can I do?

I'm barely gone,

but I'm already missing you.

 

Barely gone, but I'm already missing you.

I found this song about 3-4 days after my divorce, I've never really shared this with anyone. But this song and it's words helped me in my most darkest hour! I played it almost everyday, at least once and let the words hit my heart. Sometime when my friends are over and my iPod is connected to my living rooms home theater system, and the iPod starts to play it, sometime I have to run over and hit "shuffle", even today the song can make me cry, don't want to look like a leaky faucet to my friends, but I'm sure they would be ok with it.

 

"(This Is A) Song For The Lonely".........by Cher

 

When you're standing on the edge of nowhere

There's only one way up

So your heart's got to go there

Through the darkest night

See the light shine bright

When hero's fall, in love or war

They live forever

 

[Chorus:]

This is a song - for the lonely

Can you hear me tonight?

For the broken hearted, battle scarred

I'll be by your side

And this is a song - for the lonely

When your dreams won't come true

Can you hear this prayer?

'Cause someone's there for you

 

Well, love don't need a reason

She can pick you up

Or leave you bleeding

I've seen a strong man cry

I know the reason why

We all forgive, we all forget

We just keep believing

 

[Chorus]

 

So let it find you

Wherever you may go

I'm right beside you

You don't have to look no more

You don't have to look no more, oh no

 

[Chorus]

 

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

 

This is a song

A song for the lonely

And that's not you only

Through the darkest night

You're gonna see the light

 

Love don't need a reason

Just to leave you bleeding

 

Can you hear this prayer?

Someone's there

 

This is a song - for the lonely

Can you hear me tonight?

For the broken hearted, battle scarred

I'll be by your side

And this is a song

For the lonely
