Crazy Life

Ever hear a song that just catches you at the right moment, like you were meant to hear that song at that time?

On my Tuesday ride home from work, I was listening to the Prayer of a Common Man CD by Phil Vassar, one I've listened to many times before. Usually I just skip around to my favorite songs but this time, I let it play straight through to the last song, called Crazy Life. This song really struck me, and I found myself playing it over and over again, at least 1/2 dozen times. (I have a really long commute!)

It's a sweet ballad with a catchy melody and I wanted to share it here. It reminds me that even though life is hectic and crazy sometimes, it's all about choice... it's all about perspective... it's all about balance. This is my new theme song, I think!

I rise and stumble from the bed

It wakes the worries in my head

And I pour myself a bowl of Cheerios

I think about the good and the bad

The happiness outweighs the sad

And the balance evens out the highs and lows

Today, there's lessons to be learned

There's progress to be made

Tomorrow, I can say, "I'm a little older and wiser."

.

It's a crazy life, a crazy life

It keeps you on your toes

You never know what lies in store for you

Or where it's gonna go

Hellos, goodbyes, you laugh, you cry

You're free to pick and choose, you win and lose

You're either wrong or right

Yeah, it's a crazy life

.

I think of lovers come and gone

And people I've depended on

And I subtract the pleasure from the cost

Except for maybe two or three

They've drifted far away from me

Or maybe I'm the one who's gotten lost

But you can never go back home, no matter how hard you try

And once you've said, "goodbye."You've said it all and it's over

.

It's a crazy life, a crazy life

It keeps you on your toes

You never know what lies in store for you

Or where it's gonna go

Hellos, goodbyes, you laugh, you cry

You're free to pick and choose, you win and lose

You're either wrong or right

Yeah, it's a crazy life

.

Thanks for letting me share my crazy life with all of you!

~*~*~ May you always remember to dance in the rain, and may you have plenty of ladybugs beside you! ~*~*~
