Christina Aguilera from the Disney movie Mulan

Loyal Brave and True

 

I play this on repeat! Reminds me of my inner strength!

 

This is so good!  "Who am I without my armor?  All I know is that is harder to be loyal, brave, and true."

 

What this means to me in my current troubles is that when our nervous system is raw, it's like fighting without our armor.  Who will we be?  How will we fight?  How will we treat our loved ones?  So much to think about.

Not Broken - Skye 

 

Oooo, I love this.

 

That's one that got me through withdrawal. I still can't hear it without crying.  It has so much meaning to me.

Exactly! When she asked the question “ what would a warrior do? Who am I without my armor? Am I loyal brave and true?” Fighting all alone

The Water - Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling 

 

All that I have is a river

The river is always my home

Lord, take me away

For I just cannot stay

Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones

 

The water sustains me without even trying

The water can't drown me, I'm done

With my dying

 

Please help me build a small boat

One that'll ride on the flow

Where the river runs deep

And the larger fish creep

I'm glad of what keeps me afloat

 

The water sustains me without even trying

The water can't drown me, I'm done

With my dying

 

Now deeper the water I sail

And faster the current I'm in

That each night brings the stars

And the song in my heart

Is a tune for the journeyman's tale

 

The water sustains me without even trying

The water can't drown me, I'm done

With my dying

 

Now the land that I knew is a dream

And the line on the distance grows faint

So wide is my river

The horizon a sliver

The artist has run out of paint

 

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

And the big yellow sun leads me home

I'm everywhere now

The way is a vow

To the wind of each breath by and by

 

The water sustains me without even trying

The water can't drown me, I'm done

With my dying

Comfort - The Weepies 

 

When everyone has gone to sleep and you are wide awake

there's no one left to tell your troubles to.

Just an hour ago, you listened to their voices

lilting like a river over underground

and the light from downstairs came up soft like daybreak

dimly as the heartache of a lonely child.

 

If you can't remember a better time

you can have mine, little one.

In days to come when your heart feels undone

may you always find an open hand

and take comfort wherever you can.

 

And oh, it's a strange place.

And oh, everyone with a different face

 

but just like you thought when you stopped here to linger

we're only as separate as your little fingers.

 

So cry, why not? we all do

then turn to one you love

and smile a smile that lights up all the room.

Follow your dreams in through every out-door

it seems that's what we're here for.

 

And when you can't remember a better time

you can have mine, little one.

In days to come when your heart feels undone

may you always find an open hand

and take comfort, there is comfort.

Take comfort wherever you can, you can, you can.

Ashes on Your Eyes - Deb Talan 

 

Just about the time your heart breaks like a wheel

not in a straight line, but all in pieces

some you'll leave behind on a road you won't revise

No, you won't revisit that dirty compromise.

 

Now you only dream in peaceful blue

the morning doesn't even scare you anymore.

You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet

Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.

 

So look up, up ahead

the city lights are dancing for you.

 

Or is it the aurora burning off the edges of the sky?

Don't cry, don't cry

that's all over now.

 

Dry your wings in the sun

you have only begun to understand.

When it's time to move on

there is no one to hold your hand.

So let go.

 

Here the night is fine, the stars are sparks of steel

chiseled in the mines of twilight.

You tell me something real, say

"Don't try, don't try. Just remember how."

 

Lyrics taken from <a href="https://www.elyrics.net/read/d/deb-talan-lyrics/ashes-on-your-eyes-lyrics.html">this page</a>

Lullaby - Billy Joel 

 

Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes

And save these questions for another day

I think I know what you've been asking me

I think you know what I've been trying to say

 

I promised I would never leave you

And you should always know

Wherever you may go

No matter where you are

I never will be very far away

 

Good night my angel now it's time to sleep

And still so many thing I want to say

Remember all the songs you sang for me

When went sailing on an emerald bay

 

And like a boat out on the ocean

I'm rocking you to sleep

The water's dark and deep inside this ancient heart

You'll always be a part of me

 

Goodnight my angel now it's time to dream

And dream how wonderful your life will be

Someday your child may cry and if you sing this lullaby

Then in your heart there will always be a part of me

 

Someday we'll all be gone

But lullabies go on and on

They never die

That's how you

And I

Will be

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's going to be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, (bright) bright (bright)

Sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)

Sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)

Sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright)

Sunshiny day

Bright, bright, bright, bright, bright (bright) bright (bright)

Sunshiny day

  True colors Phil Collins version. I love this video with all the cute kids of different races encouraging each other with compassion when having a tough time. Hope it puts a smile on your face as it does mine every time I watch it. Enjoy!

"Lean On Me"

 

 

 

Hmm... hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain

We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me

When you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride

If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill

Those of your needs that you won't let show

You just call on me brother when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me

When you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother

When you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear

That you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me

Call me

If you need a friend

(Call me)

Call me (call me)

If you need a friend

(Call me)

If you ever need a friend

(Call me)

Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me) Call me

(Call me)

If you need a friend

(Call me)

Call me
