The Theme Song To My Life Right Now...

I'm sure you've all heard it: it's that song that gets your blood pumping. It almost seems to lift your spirit from where you are now, to where you should be... where you want to be... where you KNOW you're supposed to be.

Songs like this will not soon be forgotton, because they harbor a small place in our hearts where we once lent it the keys to unlock our imagination, the keys to our heart, or to the very floodgates of our souls.

Music touches us all in many different ways: but moreso than not, music has a way touching lives, impacting the hearts of all who hear it, changing perspectives, calming restless souls: ushering us to a place within ourselves where we can connect the physical, the spiritual, the mental, and the emotional, to even for a fleeting moment, create a sense of total peace - when we hear that perfect song.

I'd like to share with you a song that I stumbled across which pretty much gives life to the feelings that I have been harboring inside of me for sometime now. When I hear this song (however pop-y and bubble-gum sounding it may be), it takes me to the place that I mentioned before. It reminds me of where I not only SHOULD be, but of where I am going rather soon.

God has a way of using music in my life to remind me of the things that I have let go of since growing into adulthood: the sense of wonderment that I used to carry with me - I was always such a dreamer, and still am to a point. But I ALWAYS carried this feeling within me when I was younger of a longing for adventure, discovery, fulfillment. This song reminds me of that feeling, but also reminds me that I'm about to embark on an adventure that is going to quench that thirst that I've been harboring within me - that I almost let myself forget about.


NATASHA BEDINGFIELD LYRICS

Unwritten

I am unwritten,
can't read my mind,
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning,
the pen's in my hand,
ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition,
sometimes my tries,
are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
to not make mistakes,
but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
