I have co-titled this thread to reflect another new song that is constantly on my playlist... "invincible" from Kelly Clarkson's new album:
"You know I was broke down, I had hit the ground I was crying out, I couldn't make no sound No one hears the silent tears collecting You know I had lost hope, I was all alone Never been so long till you came along Teacher, I feel the dots connecting
Beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall Cause I can take on so much more than I had ever dreamed So beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall Cause baby, I am ready to be free
Now I am invincible No, I ain't a scared little girl no more Yeah, I am invincible What was I running for I was hiding from the world I was so afraid, I felt so unsure Now I am invincible Another perfect storm
Know I got this far, had a broken heart No one hears the silent tears collecting Cause it's being weak, but strong in the truth I found I have courage now, gonna shout it out Teacher, I feel the dots connecting
Beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall Cause I can take on so much more than I had ever dreamed So beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall Cause baby, I am ready to be free
Now I am invincible No, I ain't a scared little girl no more Yeah, I am invincible What was I running for I was hiding from the world I was so afraid, I felt so unsure Now I am invincible Another perfect storm
I was running from an empty threat Of emptiness I was running from an empty threat That didn't exist I was running from an empty threat Of abandonment I was running from an empty threat That didn't exist
Now I am invincible..."

The key line from that song for me right now is: "I can take on so much more than I had ever dreamed"
So true.

And the lyrics I love from "Masterpiece", of course, are:
"...I still fall on my face sometimes And I can't color inside the lines 'Cause I'm perfectly incomplete I'm still working on my masterpiece And I, I wanna hang with the greats Got a way to go, but it's worth the wait No, you haven't seen the best of me I'm still working on my masterpiece..."
-- "Masterpiece" by Jessie J
