The Song of the Righteous is a Prayer to the Heart

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. Baby I was born this way. This is just the half-life. God is the DJ, Life is the dance floor, love is the rhythm. Every now and then I get a little bit terrified. Every now and then I fall apart. And I need you now. I will never say never. Gonna give everything I have, its my destiny. Everybody wants to be loved. My world crumbles when you are not near. I keep my cool but Im fading. Its a beautiful day, don't let it get away. Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly. I'll stand by you. You're original, cannot be replaced. Imagine all the people. When you're dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part. She will be loved. Speak now. Fathers be good to you daughters, and daughters will love like you do. We're one, but we are not the same, we've got to carry each other. I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset. After a hurricane, comes a rainbow. Hello world, hope you're listening. Just enjoy the show. I throw my hands up in the air sometimes. Just dance. I hope you dance. A face without freckles is like the sky without the stars. Trouble is a friend. Vienna waits for you. Viva la vida. Where is the love? Caught in between ten and twenty, and I'm just dreaming. Life is a mystery. You're a firework, come on let your colors burst.

Ok, I know. I should have just titled this post "Holy Cheese Ball!" But I just had to do it. Music plays an important part of my life. Especially with swim season starting, I'm going to need some good tunes. Those 500s can get pretty boring without it. Good music can change everything. It changes your mood, and changes how you interact with others. At least for me anyway.

Music makes the hard things in life more enjoyable. So thats my goal:

Make the difficult things in life more enjoyable. Whether this happens just by having a good attitude, "Fakin' it til you make it" or some other profound thing, I don't know just yet. I don't want to make the more difficult and boring things more enjoyable for just myself. I really want to help other people not dread seminary, or practice, or cleaning. I have no idea how to do that, but its a work in progress for now.

I think it probably starts with ourselves. I mean, if one person is enjoying themselves while doing something rather unenjoyable, wouldn't everyone else around them start enjoying themselves too? Its like being the music in life. I think that by having a good attitude during times of trial, its like blasting your favorite song....and dancing to it.....then saying "Bring it!" to your biggest enemy. Basically, what I mean is good attitude=I'm ready for anything. Kind of like great song stuck in my head=I'm ready for the hardest swim practice ever.

Bring it.
