Matisyahu - One Day

One Day lyrics by Matisyahu

sometimes I lay

under the moon

and thank God I'm breathing

then I pray

don't take me soon

cause I am here for a reason

sometimes in my tears I drown

but I never let it get me down

so when negativity surrounds

I know some day it'll all turn around

because

all my life I've been waiting for

I've been praying for

for the people to say

that we don't wanna fight no more

they'll be no more wars

and our children will play

one day x6

it's not about

win or lose cause

we all lose

when they feed on the souls of the innocent

blood drenched pavement

keep on moving though the waters stay raging

in this maze you can lose your way (your way)

it might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way)

sometimes in my tears I drown

but I never let it get me down

so when negativity surrounds

I know some day it'll all turn around

because

all my life I've been waiting for

I've been praying for

for the people to say

that we don't wanna fight no more

they'll be no more wars

and our children will play

one day x6

one day this all will change

treat people the same

stop with the violence

down with the hate

one day we'll all be free

and proud to be

under the same sun

singing songs of freedom like

one day x4

all my life I've been waiting for

I've been praying for

for the people to say

that we don't wanna fight no more

they'll be no more wars

and our children will play

one day x6

ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I have a friend who just started a blog recently (sweet & simple) and she has some music on it. It made me realize that I love listening to music and should listen more. This is one of the songs on the playlist.

And on that note: Goodnight world :)

Darius Rucker - This

This song is close to our wedding song (Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts but WAY better lol)

 

Darius Rucker - This

Got a baby girl sleepin' in my bedroom
And her momma laughing in my arms
There's the sound of rain on the rooftop
And the game's about to start
I don't really know how I got here
But I'm so glad that I did
And it's crazy to think that one little thing
Could have changed all of it
Maybe it didn't turn out like I planned
Maybe thats why I'm such, such a lucky man

For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
Cause it led me here to this

Like the girl that I loved in high school
Who said she could do better
Or the college I wanted to go to
Till I got that letter
All the fights and the tears and the heartache
I thought I'd never get through
And the moment I almost gave up
All led me here to you
I didn't understand it way back when
But sittin' here right now
It all makes perfect sense

Every stoplight I didnt make
Every chance I did or I didnt take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank god for all I missed
Cause it led me here to this

Oh I cried when my momma passed away
And now I got an angel
Looking out for me today
So nothing's a mistake

Every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
Everything I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
Cause it led me here to this

Led me here to this

Tigger

I was so excited to see that ABC Family was playing the "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" so I recorded it. As I set that up I noticed they were doing "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too" so I recorded that as well. JD and I watched them as Isaac put Rae to bed. It was great to watch and try to remember them. Like I had forgotten how Tigger got down from the tree after he and Roo ended up at the top. Do you remember? JD was really enjoying watching Tigger jump around in case you forgot or just want to sing along:

The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I'm the only one
Tiggers are cuddly fellas
Tiggers are awfully sweet
Ev'ryone el-us is jealous
That's why I repeat... and repeat

The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are marvelous claps!
They're loaded with vim and vigor
They love to leap in your laps!
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I'm the only one
I-I-I'm , the only... oof!
Ouch!

He was full of smiles and laughing as I sang along. Because who doesn't love to sing along with him when I realized that I have seen this smile in JD before. Its the same one he gets when watching Rae bounce around the room. I was realizing this as I was coming to the realization on my own of the similarities. When we watched "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too" I almost cried I know I cry at everything but this was serious. A couple of months back I went to visit my bestest friend and we talked and I told her how I felt about how people feel about Rae's energy, it still makes me upset. I feel like people just can't handle her. So I don't take her out, I don't want to be around people with her. I know I can't save her or me from people forever but I want her to live at least a few years without the cruelty that is humanity! I digress... anyway. When we watched Rabbit do to Tigger what people do to Rae I remembered the end of the story how all stories like this end they really do love him for who he is and everything is good. While this is a frustration of mine because I know people who this does happen to they are dumb and rude and people really just think they are the greatest thing and don't tell them the truth even when asked... trust me people who aren't helping anyone it doesn't happen to me or my parents or sister and so I fear and have seen that it isn't going to happen to Rae. BUT in watching JD's reaction and being reminded that Tigger is my favorite Winnie the Pooh character, I love Rae and I love who she is. I wouldn't change her for anything. Now I just need others to feel the same way. Or be surrounded by enough people who feel the same way I do to cancel out the crappy people. And I don't want false crap. If you have a problem don't look me straight in the face and tell me you think she is the greatest, cause that just ticks me off even more!!

Ok. I wanted this to be a happy post about how JD and I love Tigger and Tigger reminds us of Rae. Here is a video sing-a-long actually to help you appreciate Tigger and therefore Rae also.

It All Started With The Big Bang

MY FAVORITE THEME SONG
Just hearing this makes me smile
(I love the show too:)

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and pangea
See ya wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!

It all started with the big BANG!

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will cause the stars to go the other way,
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it wont be hurt
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!

Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating out while here they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang!

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big BANG!

I Love Music

I started listen to some Christian Music on the computer because someone had Kirk Franklin "Brighter Day" and maybe sometime I will put that up but for tonight... I moved over to the TV to listen to music and ended up on the Country Music station and missed the beginning of this one like I always do so I looked it up. Enjoy :)

they called them crazy when they started out
said 17 to young to know what loves about
they've been together 58 years now
thats crazy
he brought home 67 bucks a week
bought a little two bedroom house on maple street
where she blessed him with 6 more mouths to feed
thats crazy
just ask him how he did it
he'll say pull up a seat it'll only take a minute to tell you everything

be your best friend
tell the truth
and over use i love you
go to work
do your best
dont out smart your common sense
never let your prayin knees get lazy
and love like crazy
they called him crazy when he quit his job
sellin home computers boy they'll never take off
well he sold his one man shop to microsoft
and they paid like crazy
just ask him how he made it
he'll tell you faith and sweat
and the heart of a faithful woman who never let him forget

be your best friend
tell the truth
and over use i love you
go to work
do your best
dont out smart your common sense
never let your prayin knees get lazy
and love like crazy
always treat your woman like a lady
never get to old to call her baby
never let your prayin knees get lazy
and love like crazy
they called them when they started out
they've been together 58 years now
aint that crazy
