Ok, this is my first time doing this, so hopefully I can link it right!! I probably won't be able to post these daily, but I think I want to do song lyrics that mean a lot to me, and other quotes. (and hopefully the video goes in right!!)

 

Turn up the Music, by Point of Grace

Verse 1:
Wake up to the sunlight
With your windows open
Don’t hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want
But want what you have
And don’t spend your life lookin’ back

Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won’t regret it
Lookin’ back from where you have been
Cuz it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live

 

Verse 2:
So go to the ballgames
And go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don’t run from the truth
‘Cause you can’t get away
Just face it and you’ll be okay

 

Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won’t regret it
Lookin’ back from where you have been
‘Cause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live

 

Bridge:
Oh wherever you are and wherever you’ve been
Now is the time to begin

 

Verse 3:
So give to the needy
And pray for the grieving
E’en when you don’t think that you can
‘Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
Make peace with God and make peace with yourself
‘Cause in the end there’s nobody else

 

Chorus
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
‘Cause you won’t regret it
Lookin’ back from where you have been
‘Cause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live

 

‘Cause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live

Great song and a great lesson!  ‘Cause it’s not who you knew, And it’s not what you did, It’s how you live.

Amen to that!

I had heard it before, but yesterday it came on the radio and I  really listened to the words. I have another song I like (that I'll try to post this weekend) that has a similar message. I think these are really touching me right now, because so many times I feel like I'm just going through the motions of life....with work, housework, etc. and not spending time doing the things I REALLY want to!!! (like my art!!) It's time I start really enjoying my life!
