Then there are those of us, who just deal with general ups and downs of life
Expecting life to be one way and then being dealt an entirely different card.
The ultimate question: will you be a victim, or will you have victory?
Will you allow your pain and your disappointments to keep you down
or will you rise above them
Even the people I initially spoke of
must make this choice
Being a victim keeps you stuck
Victory gives each the ability to slap your abusers in the face, so to say...
"I will not allow you to keep me down"...
I pray that I find victory every day...
This theme seems to be replaying itself in my life. I first started thinking of this from a song that I've heard lately that I've come to love (I will post the words in a few). Another is, believe it or not, (those who know me well might find this funny) a marquis on a store. I usually HATE marquis, ESPECIALLY those on churches. They are way too trite for me. But, I saw this marquis on a storage place in town and it said:
If you do your raindance
until it rains
then you will have succeeded.
I read something else today:
The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.
Arabian proverb
This theme seems to keep replaying itself in my life. I cannot quit. I cannot allow my circumstances to defeat me. I must be a victor, no matter how hard it may be. If I stay down and defeated, then I've allowed myself to be a victim to my circumstances... I must be victorious...To me, that simply means NEVER, NEVER, NEVER giving up...
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
Oh, oh, oh 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
Oh, yeah, yeah
