"I'll Keep You My Dirty Little Secret"

I love literature of all kinds... and lately, lyrics have been at the top of my favourite kinds of literature.

At times, it seems almost as if you are the subject of their words...

~Punk Rock Princess~
Maybe when I'm done with thinking,
Maybe you can think me whole.
Maybe when I'm done with endings
This can begin, this can begin
This can begin.



And other times you are inspired but what others have learned and are now passing on to the world...

~I Hope You Dance~
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance



And other times, when reading these words, you are reminded of amazing things, that at times seem so far off and almost fake...

~I can only Imagine~
I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine


Writing of any kind has a uniqueness to it that influences me in so many ways, and at times it makes me wish that i lived in the world of fiction... like my very own fairy tale.


~there is only one place where you can dream as big as the sky~

lyrics of songs have a way of touching everyone in some way shape or form...unless it's that Foo Fighters song "Skin and Bones" or a Gwen Stefani song...but songs are great for speaking to people

Maybe we DO live in our own little world of fiction.
