lokizmomwhile i was driving to the BBQ today, i put in an old CD that was created for me by my friend jungle jenni and her friend greedy *snicker*. there are 2 songs on that CD that are always in my heart. instead of mucking up your friends pages with lyrics, i've put them behind the cut. but i think everyone should read these lyrics. they mean a lot to me...and should to you as well.
The River
Written by: - Victoria Shaw - Garth Brooks
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores.. and
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide.. yes
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all.. yes
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry
A Friend To Me
Written by: - Victoria Shaw - Garth Brooks
Well you and I
We're buddies
And we've been since we first met
Me and you
Well we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret
Lord knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But you've always been a friend to me
I can be so stubborn
There's times you think I just like to fight
And you hope and pray
you live to see a day
When I say you might be right
And there's times I'd rather hurt you
Than listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me
You've always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show me it's okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology
Oh you've always been
And you will 'til God knows when
Yes you've always been a friend to me
the lyrics to "a friend to me" were changed a bit to suit my vocalization of the thoughts in the song. there have been several times when a certain friend has called me stubborn and has wished for a day when i say they might be right. and another part of the song actually says "there's times i'd rather kill you than listen to your honesty". frankly...i would never want to kill someone...so i changed it to "hurt you" rather than "kill you".
