Bought an old cassette at a garage sale yesterday. First song that came on when I popped it in seemed to be sent to all of you who are leaving, have just left, are thinking of leaving, your A.
"Well I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free So often times it happens That we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key
Me I'm already gone And I'm feeling strong I will sing, sing this victory song Yes, I'm already gone..."
Well I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free ..(we finally free ourselves) So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key (ain't THAT the truth?)
When we figure out that it is us that has the key to our lives we can bust out of the chains.

I love the Eagles too...but I'm also a country and western fan, so all you Garth Brooks fans here goes:
You know a dream is like a river (Life) Ever changing as it flows (you can't live life with out change) And the dreamer's just a vessel (this body we possess is our vessel) That must follow where it goes (the river takes us there)
Trying to learn from what's behind you, (live and let live, Let Go and let God, Easy Does it) Never knowing what's in store (Faith) Makes each day a constant battle (One Day at a Time) Just to stay between the shores. (Life's struggles)
But I will sail my vessel (Live life to the fullest) 'til the river runs dry. (Don't ever quit on yourself) Like a bird upon the wind (fly in faith)
these waters are my sky. (reach for your dreams) I'll never reach my destination (negative thinking) If I never try. ("I will never give up, never give up, never give up...no, not I." quote from Peter Pan?) So I will sail my vessel (Old Man and the sea) 'til the river runs dry. (somtimes, God shuts the door, Maria, but he always opens a window"-Sound of Music)
Many times we stand aside; (apathy) Let the water slip away, (missed opportunities) Do what we put off 'til tomorrow (procrastination) It has now become today. (How'd that happen? Denial) So don't you sit upon the shoreline (Detach to a fault) And say you're satisfied. (Lie to oneself) Choose to chance the rapids (find the wildest ride at the theme park nearest you!) And dare to dance that tide. (how's the song go... if' i'd never dared to dance?)
There's bound to be rough waters (the song of the Edmond Fitzgarald) And I know I'll take some falls ("Many things about tommorrow I don't seem to understand, but I know who holds tomorrow and I know who holds my hand" Ira Stanphill, 1950 hymn) With the good Lord as my captain (God as we understand him) I can make it through them all. (Face it and Recover)
(Keep the main thing the main thing, and the main thing is?)
I am a substitute teacher and an english teacher wanted her 6th grade class to write their thought s on this song....I'm eager to see their responses!)
Take it easy... Take it easy... Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can don't even try to understand just find a place to make your stand and take it easy....
The guy who wrote these was a friend of my husband's family... Used to babysit my husband. HMMMMMMM Makes one wonder...
I also like nickleback quite a bit, they have great lyrics.
