"East To West" by Casting Crowns
This song touched my heart (again) this morning, and I'd like to share it with you.
I saw them in concert a few months ago. My sister treated me, my husband, and my Dad to the show at the Toyota Center. God was smiling on her that day. She had to buy last minute tickets, and we got to sit down in front because some "will-call" were not picked up.
Here is a link to the video which is posted on YouTube.

And just read these touching lyrics:
Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
In your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where you found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight
I know you've cast my sins as far
As the East is from the West
And I stand before you now as
As though I've never sinned but today
I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way
Jesus can you show me
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other
I start the day the war begins
*End*less reminding of my sin
Time and time again
Your truth Is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way
Jesus can you show me
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other
I know you've washed me white
Turned my darkness into light
I need your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel
But by the truth your word reveals
I'm not holding on to you
But your holding on to me
Your holding on to me
Jesus, you know just how far
The East is from the West
I don't have to see the man I've been
Rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
(The arms of your mercy I find rest)
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other (x2)
(Just how far, the East is from the West) (x3)
From one scarred hand to the other
This has always been one of my favorite songs ever since I was a little kid and I wore it out on my vinyl album - one of my favorite artists, too. It always cheers me up when I'm sad. Here's the lyrics so you can sing along with the video. I think the lyrics sound a lot like a children's book, don't you? Just thought I'd share with you, maybe you're down and need a little cheering up....
Hope you like it. Enjoy!

Nerf Herder Lyrics - Mr Blue SkySun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It stopped raining
Everybody's in the play
And don't you know its a beautiful new day (eh-eh)
Running down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today (hey-hey)
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to hide away for so long
(so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to hide away for so long
(so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr. Blue Sky's up there waiting
And today is the day we've waited for (oh-oh)
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to hide away for so long
(so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there mr. blue we're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mr. Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creeping over now his hand is on your shoulder
Nevermind
I'll remember you this-i'll remember you this way
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to hide away for so long
(so long)
Where did we go wrong?
ba ba-ba ba ba ba
(repeat to infinity)

This is one of my favorite songs, and I really love Fiona Apple's soft take on it. The video is of her in black and white with chaos all around her while she maintains her inner peace. My husband speaks fluent Hindi, and the words "Jai Guru Deva" basically mean "Salutations to the greatest teacher." And "Ohm" means "Self" or really "Me".
"Across The Universe" by the Beatles
(Fiona Apple's version)
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
[Across The Universe lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open views inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Hey AudioJeff, thanks alot, I just got that song out of my head!
I'm talking about "A Fifth Of Beethoven" off of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. I don't know where it came from, but that song got back into my brain after the thirty years it took to get it out. In fact, it was so stuck in there, I had to go watch clips of the movie on YouTube just so I could actually listen to it somewhere else but inside of my head! Somebody in there just keeps putting quarters in that jukebox. I asked them to keep it down, but I guess they had the music turned up too loud to hear me. Tehehehe!
Well, it was cool with the traffic shot from Sky Fox. Now I have to listen to it playing in my head all day, though!

I was just commenting on a blog here in which myself and another blogger had advised this (most likely stressed-out) peer to take a moment- a little breather, if you will for the sake of tranquility and peacefulness, to promote some needed tolerance and compassion. I took a quick break, too, I committed to it, and POOF! My poetry/song-writers block evaporated instantly.
(I came up with this short sweety!)
After the storm….
The skies become brighter and the air becomes clearer
As I notice a bird and a leaf flutter towards the ground
I wonder to myself….
“Which imitates the other?”
Then I realize….
I have stumbled upon one of God’s many mysteries
God’s mysteries which are truly
God’s peace.

Desiderata - Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
And remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull & ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain & bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing future of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment
it is perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness.
Beyond wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees & the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labours & aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiderata
