"Best Day Of My Life"

I had a dream so big and loud 
I jumped so high I touched the clouds 
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh [x2]
I stretched my hands out to the sky 
We danced with monsters through the night 
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh [x2]

I'm never gonna look back 
Woah, never gonna give it up 
No, please don't wake me now 

Oo-o-o-o-oo 
This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife 
My li-i-i-i-i-ife 
Oo-o-o-o-oo 
This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife 
My li-i-i-i-i-ife 

I howled at the moon with friends 
And then the sun came crashing in 
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh [x2]
But all the possibilities 
No limits just epiphanies 
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh [x2]

I'm never gonna look back 
Woah, never gonna give it up 
No, just don't wake me now 

I hear it calling outside my window 
I feel it in my soul (soul) 
The stars were burning so bright 
The sun was out 'til midnight 
I say we lose control (control) 

Everything is looking up, everybody up now 
This is gonna be the best day of my li-ife 
My li-i-i-i-i-ife.

Saturday Song #2

SONG #2: 

Well, I wear my clothes like this because I can

And I wear my hair like this because I can

And I walk around like this because I can

and I do my thing like this cuz its who I am.

And if you're expecting me, to give you an apology for being nothing that you're used to

Well go right on ahead and wait, hold your breath and concentrate. 

Keep holding 'til your face turns blue.

My road, it ain't your road but trust I know (I know just where I'm going)

My flow, it ain't your flow but trust I know (I know just how I'm flowing)

I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my thing)

Please feel free to hate and complain

I'ma do my thing

Say what you like because this one ain't gonna change

I'ma do my thing

{janelle}

I can't wear my clothes like you, because I'm not

I can't do my hair like you, because I'm not

I can't walk around like you, because I'm not

I can't do my thing like you, well that just ain't hot

And if you're expecting me, to give you an apology for being nothing like you're used to

Well go right on ahead and wait, hold your breath and concentrate. 

Keep holding 'til your face turns blue.

My road, it ain't your road but trust I know (I know just where I'm going)

My flow, it aint your flow but trust I know (I know just how I'm flowing)

I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my thing)

So please feel free to hate and complain

I'ma do my thing

And say what you like because this one ain't gonna change

I'ma do my thing

You don't know where I'm going, and so you think I'm lost

I ain't on your page ok, so to you that means I'm off.

When I dance, I dance to the beat of a drummer that you can't hear and can't see

So if I look offbeat to you, well the problem must be you, not me

Irregular but never irrelevant, unusual but never uncool.

You're not cut from my cloth so you don't get me. Well, I don't get you.

Either a believer of the fact that unique equals love.

Am I going to fast for you? Open your mind and speed up.

My road, it ain't your road but trust I know (I know just where I'm going)

My flow, it ain't your flow but trust I know (I know just how I'm flowing)

I'ma do my thing (I'ma do my thing)

So please feel free to hate and complain

I'ma do my thing

And say what you like because this one ain't gonna change

I'ma do my thing

Song # 1...MY FAVORITE:

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

And since your history of silence
Won’t do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave

Who Cares How You Feel?

Remember when you were a kid and your parent told you to do something...right in the middle of Tom & Jerry? In your heart, you really didn't feel like doing it but in your head you knew you had to.

How you felt about it didn't matter AT ALL...you had to do what had to be done. How did that conviction or obedience get so distorted in adult life??? 

Now we complete things for ourselves based on how we feel but go to work or do things for someone else even if we're sick as dog because "we have to". How did our conviction get so strong for others and so weak for ourselves?

Maybe it's because we felt obligated to our parents, teachers or other people in authority over us. Maybe it's because in our heart we didn't really want to do what was asked and now that we're "grown" we don't have to do what we don't want to. Maybe we give in to so many other things/people we just draw the line!

The problem with any of these reasons is they don't work out for our own betterment! As an adult, we have authority over ourselves and we should feel obligated to our own goals and dreams more than anything else!  

If you'd go to work for someone else sick, suffering or coughing up a lung, you should be just as committed to our own tasks! Just because we're grown up and can do whatever we want, when we give in to our every changing feelings, we usually run over to easy street! You see, when our feelings lead us (especially the one of "deserve"), we take the front seat on an emotional roller coaster. We start something great in January (at the height of excitement) and then feel like we deserve a break in March (when fatigue sets in). Changing our minds and actions based on the whim of how we feel is exhausting! Know what you want and decide to keep going until achieved, conquered or acquired!

I challenge you to do what needs to be done without thinking about the feeling...you know, like when you brush your teeth! Most of us don't stand at the sink and decide if we feel like brushing...we just do it! So let's do this together, let's stick to these goals and resolutions regardless of how we feel! Let's not only choose to be more disciplined, let's choose to have the best life possible...that's all it is, a CHOICE!
