I've been meandering about You Tube again ~ and found a couple of video's/song's that appeal to me, rather strongly in fact...I'm one of those people that listens to the words, the meaning or what I perceive the meaning to be for me, myself and I... life's lessons are a good basis for expression when people write these songs.  In the medieval times they had troubadours and bards that spread the news of the time, that spoke of life lessons ~ they've merely been replaced with the life and time's of today.  I find that with these thoughts that others express thru music and ballads, I find strength, humility and compassion yet also conviction thru anger etc.

 

Following is a video/song by Rascal Flatts called  "Stand" ~~ enjoy.

 

 

 

 

Stand

 

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright
You'll be alright

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you stand
Then you stand

Life's like a novel with the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon with only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you stand (then you stand)
Yea, then you stand (then you stand)

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place, yea
Ooohhh

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you stand (then you stand)
Then you stand (then you stand)
Yea, then you stand (then you stand)
Yea (then you stand)
Ohhh (then you stand)
Ohhh (then you stand)
Ohhh (then you stand)
Ohhh (then you stand)
Then you stand
