For months I've been praying and trying to "figure" things out.... the things people say and the way they say them... finally, today it happened I think.... I think God answered my questions, my doubts, my uncertainties my insecurities in the form of a song.... I LOVE this song, BUT I can honestly say that I haven't heard it in years... and then there it was in all of it's glory as I drove home from the OC after a fun dinner with friends... for some reason I really paid attention to the lyrics this time, I really thought about what the song was saying and decided that I really need to forget or at least try to forget the things people say... and worry about the things people do, after all "actions speak louder than words, right?" so today I promise God and myself that I will try my hardest to let the things people say, and the things people have said, and will probably always say, roll off into the distance without giving them a second chance.... This will be easier said than done... I am sure of it... But I will try my hardest to achieve it.... ;) wanna listen along??
I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Chorus
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

:) What a great song!! It is so hard to dismiss what people say, I will be praying for ya! :)
haha!!! thanks! and yes, it is a great song, and just the reminder I needed... AND after hearing the song again... and taking it as a "sign" I've decided that enough is enough.... ;) I'm the only one who can really "change" the way I feel about the things people say... so change is what I will do! :D
