I have a new anthem to live by, as I go forward in the next weeks and months.
For entertainment and distration, I was watching the Academy Awards last night, and as Melissa Etheridge began to sing her nominated song, "An Inconvenient Truth", each line of the lyrics rang clearly through my heart with a tone of truth.
Without further ado, here are the lyrics:
Melissa Etheridge:
I Need to Wake Up
Have I been sleeping? I've been so still Afraid of crumbling Have I been careless? Dismissing all the distant rumblings Take me where I am supposed to be To comprehend the things that I can't see
Cause I need to move I need to wake up I need to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Something's got to break up I've been asleep And I need to wake up Now...
I am not an island I am not alone I am my intentions Trapped here in this flesh and bone
And I need to move I need to wake up I need to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Something's got to break up I've been asleep And I need to wake up Now
I want to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Oh, Something's got to break up I've been asleep And I need to wake up Now
