Lyrics to Life

Music has been around for as far back as people can imagine - people sing for happy occasions, they sing for sad, they sing to make the work pass and they sing just because. Music is a form of self expression. It's been said that music is most link to memory recognition...it can transport you or bring them to the surface faster than many other methods.

So today I ask - what's your Life play list? If you had to sum it up what would best convey who you are?

Over the years I've had a few - they've seen me thru the good and the bad and the ugly, here's a few:

• Closing Time by Semisonic
  "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end"
  (Just learning about life)
  

• Angel by Sarah McLachlan
  "Spend all your time waiting for that second chance For the break that will make it OK"
  (First taste of bitter sweet love)
  

• In My Daughters Eyes by Martin McBride
  "She was sent to rescue me - I see who I wanna be"
  (Birth of my first daughter, changed my life)
  

• When I'm gone by 3 doors down
  "There's another world inside of me that you may never see"
  (First taste of war)
  

While each one of these has it's place and invokes memories of the person that once was, that is not who I am today. Perhaps remnants of me still exists somewhere, but if I was going to choose just one song then this would be it (click on the title to hear it):

Before It's Too Late
Goo Goo Dolls

I wonder through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
And I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes

And hold on before it's too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

And the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you don't live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone

Hold on before its too late
We'll run til we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

So live like you mean it
Love til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone

What is YOUR song?
