If My Life is a Song
Thursday, November 3rd, 2005I wanted to update my Friendster profile (something I had not done in quite a while :D)… with a video…
Naturally, I wanted a video which features a song that will describe me or my life or how I feel or at the very least, a song that I like… hehehehe…
During my search… I am reminded of song lyrics… some that made an impression… or those that seemed "profound" to my ears… or maybe those I can relate to… hehehehe…
Here are some of them:
"I Hope You Dance" - Lee Ann Womack
"…I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they’re worth taking
Lovin’ might be a mistake
But it’s worth making
Don’t let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance… "
"Jesu Durabunct Acta" - Assumption Antipolo Batch 1999 (:-D)
“…When I do become all I ever want to be
When I reach great heights for all the world to see
I’ll look back to what life has made of me
And give back to God all the glory
When the cares of this world beckon me
To live for my self alone
I’ll always look back to this truth I’ve known
I can ask a million questions
I can try to do great things
But all things in this world will pass
Only what is done for Christ will last…”
"Warrior is A Child" - Gary Valenciano
"Lately I’ve been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I’m amazing
Strong beyond my years
But they don’t see inside of me
I’m hiding all the tears
They don’t know that I go running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
‘Cause deep inside this armour
The warrior is a child… "
"Collide" by Howie Day
"… Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide… "
"Someday We’ll Know" - Switchfoot
"… Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I’m speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety-seventh time… tonight
Someday We’ll Know
If love can move a mountain
Someday We’ll Know
Why the sky is blue
Someday We’ll Know
Why I wasn’t meant for you… "
"I Know Him by Heart" by Vonda Shepard
"… Am I living an illusion?
Wanting something I can’t see
If I compromise, I’d be living lies
Pretending love’s not meant to be
Cause I know my heart’s worth saving
And I know that he’ll be waiting
So I’ll hold on and I’ll stay strong ’till then
Cause I know he’s out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I’ve never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we’ve never been together
We’ve never been apart
No we’ve never met
Haven’t found him yet
But I know him by heart… "

"Kudos" to the song writers.. I am sorry I am only able to give the names of the artists who sang these songs…
By the way, for some reason the video in my Friendster profile ended up with…
"All the Love in the World" by the Corrs
"I’m not looking for someone to talk to
I’ve got my friends, I’m more than O.K.
I’ve got more than a girl could wish for
I live my dreams but it’s not all they say…
…
"Love’s for a lifetime not for a moment
So how could I throw it away
Yeah I’m only human
And nights grow colder
With no-one to love me that way
Yeah I need someone who really sees me… "
