Just Stand Up ~ One of the most inspiring songs ever heard

I heard this song during my recent trip through the States and it struck a cord, filled me with an inner fight and resolve to fight for another day, always.  Perhaps it will do the same for you… I love it and woke up this morning with it in my head! (no shock I know shush)

Just Stand Up Lyrics
ALL:
Every thing will be alright

Ain’t got the patience

Through it all
Just stand up

Together we cry…

Some may say that this song is sad once you listen to the lyrics and the truth that they hold, perhaps though a few of you may hear it as I do.

“Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life
Show your kids the truth, and hope they never lie”

We all have to do what we can, the best that we can do and try our best to teach our children, live as we believe we should and to help the world in order to make it a slightly better place for our children’s children.  Sometimes we fail, sometimes we succeed. Truth is that no matter what we do we can’t prevent all things, we can’t control what happens in the world or to those that we love.  Instead we can only be there for them in their time of need, guide them where we can and to teach them the best we can in hope that they then have the skills to survive what ever trials come their way.

“Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life
Show your kids the truth, and hope they never lie”

For me this song holds a valuable lesson, we cry, we feel guilt for what we never did (in reality weren’t in a position to do) and we torment… all we can really do, ever do, is be the best we can be each and every day we arise to a new dawn…

Together we cry
Together we cry

Jenny was a poor girl, living in a rich world
Named her baby hope when she was just 14
She was hoping for a better word for this little girl
But the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree
When she gets that call, Hopes too far gone
Her baby’s on the way, with nothing left inside
Together We Cry

What about the john play, could have gone the whole way
Lighting up the stage tryna get a deal
Now he’s lighting up the wrong way, something for the pain
Man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin’ unreal
When he gets that call, he’s too far-gone
Can’t get it together to sing one song
And they won’t hear tonight, the words of a lullaby

Together We Cry [X4]

Mary’s ambition, she wants to be a politician
She’s been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought, that she’d be the one who could change the world
Always tryna pave the way for women in a man’s world
But life happened, house, kids, 2 cars, husband hit’s the jar,
Checks that don’t go very far now
Now she ain’t making changes, she keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattling cages are her own

Together We Cry [X2]

Theres so much sad gonna flood the ocean
Were all in tears from a world thats broken

Together We Cry [X2]

The comes a time that every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It’s hard to let your children go, leave home, where they go, who knows?
Gettin’ drunk, gettin’ stoned all alone
Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life
Show your kids the truth, and hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they’ve gone to something better
Bet your sorry now, I wont be coming home tonight

I’m sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry, we cry, we cry

Together We Cry

Song of the day ~ Someone Who Believes in You

Sometimes all it takes is someone believing in us to pull us through, so for today and always, a song just for you… one close to my heart and soul, one that stands for all that I am.

Someone believes in you…

When there’s a dark storm on your horizon
And you think you can’t get through it
Just put your hand in my hand
And I’ll show you how to do it
When the future looks uncertain
You can count on me to be there
And when your heart and soul are hurtin’
Just look and you’ll see me there
Just follow where I lead
I’ll give you what you need
A love that’s always true
And someone who believes in you
So when you’re searching for that rainbow
I will help you find it
And when a mountain stands before you
I will help you climb it
Just follow where I lead
I’ll give you what you need
A love that’s always true
And someone who believes in you
It’s time to come alive
Your moment has arrived
I’ll bring out the best in you
We can have it all
No, we will never fall
Looking down from our celestial view
Just follow where I lead
I’ll give you what you need
And I’ll tell you something else
You’ll start believing in yourself
It’s an easy thing to do
When you have someone who believes in you
Someone who believes
Someone who believes
I’m someone who believes
And you’ve got someone who believes in you

A song to kick off 2009karamba

For those who have moments of going hmm for 2009 and what is to come, myself included… for you

You say I know it’s a waste of time
There’s no use trying
So scared that life’s gonna pass you by
Your spirit dying
Not long ago
I could feel your strength and your devotion
What was so clear, is now overcast
With mixed emotions
Deep in your heart is the answer
Find it, I know it will pull you through
Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
I think it’s true that we’ve all been through
Some nasty weather
Let’s understand that we’re here
To handle things together
You gotta keep looking onto tomorrow
There’s so much in life
That’s meant for you
Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
Get on your feet
Don’t stop before it’s over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder
Get up and make it happen
Stand up, stand up, stand up and take some action
Gotta get on your feet, yeah, yeah
Don’t stop before it’s over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder
Get on your feet
Get up, get up, get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up , stand up and take some action
Get on your feet

Coldplay ~ Clocks

There have been many times but none more so than the present where this song fits the spirit of the now. 

You have to admit Chris Martin knows how to sing…

Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You’ve put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple of my head (and a)
Trouble that can’t be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are

Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

You are [x6]
And nothing else compares
Oh no nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are [continues in background]
Home, home, where I wanted to go [x4]
