Turn up the music

Lyrics from some songs really speak to me. And it's funny how I can listen to a song over and over and not really hear it, and then one day I will really listen and the lyrics really pop out at me. I heard this song today, and it really spoke to me. It's such a good reminder to just enjoy your life. Stop and smell the roses, love each other, and spend time doing the things you enjoy. In the end, it doesn't matter how much money you made, or how many cars, houses, and nice things you have. It doesn't matter who you knew or how powerful you are/were, all that matters is how you live. How you spend time with your loved ones.....thats the important stuff.

Wake up to the sunlight
With your windows open
Don’t hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want
But want what you have
And don’t spend your life looking back

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won’t regret it
Looking back from where you have been
Coz it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live

So go to the ballgames
And go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don’t run from the truth
‘Cause you can’t get away
Just face it and you’ll be ok

Oh wherever you are and wherever you’ve been

Now is the time to begin

So give to the needy
And pray for the grieving
E’en when you don’t think that you can
‘Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
Make peace with God and make peace with yourself
‘Cause in the end there’s nobody else
