I'm really excited to see the post about lyrics.  They have had a very profound impact on me this week.  I'm making a trip to see a dear close friend from HS.  Not really sure if I should be making this trip.  Especially after some roadblocks put in the way.  I seriously questioned my will vs thy will, as did the person i was visiting. 

I'm listening to a new age intrumental cd, hoping for some solitude and some thought while making the drive.  I get about 1/2 way and decide I"m going to put some music on.  I like college radio for it's diversity.  First song one that I've never heard before, Ziggy Marley:  Be True to Yourself.  Program bells are going off and I'm starting think "I'm right where I'm supposed to be."  It also told me that it might be time to do the next right thing. 

life has come a long way since yesterday I say

and its not the same old thing over again I say

just do what you feel and don't you fool yourself I say

cause I can't make you happy unless I am I say I say

 

I got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

 

day in day out I've asked many questions I say

only to find the truth it never changes I say

if you don't deal with it it keeps killing you a little by little I say

call me selfish if you will my life I alone can live I say I say

 

I got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

 

I don't care if it hurts I'm tired of lies and all these games

I've reached a point in life no longer can I be this way

don't come crying to me I too have shed my share of tears

I'm moving on yes I'm grooving on well I'm finally free

 

I've

got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

got to be true to myself got to be true to myself

This being college radio the play list is a little Eclectic, the next song, new by Lyle Lovett, "Up in Indiana" first line is "up in indiana where the tall corn grows, doing a little thinking about <fill in name of person visiting>  oh...and I had to drive past a large portion of corn fields on the way.  LOL

I go home looking for the lyrics for the True to Myself and stumble upon another Ziggy tune.  "Love is My Religion"  it reminded me about the love and peace of the program.
Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
I'll take you to the temple tonight

All my days I've been searching, to find out what this life is worth
through the books and bibles of time I've made up my mind
I don't condemn, I don't convert, this is a calling have you heard
bring all the lovers to the fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul

Which then made me thinking.  Bob Marley had some pretty spritual stuff do even if he was a user of marijuana. 
Three Little Birds:

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,

Bobump....banging into the wall over and over again is insanity....unless maybe your doing it with me to a regae beat this week.
