Tag! You're it!

I've just been tagged by Kara. (I've got to figure out how to link her blog to her name. Check out Karachele's blog in my favorites list.)

The object is to find a song on my hard drive that suits me and my personality. It's not as easy as you would think.

I thought about Martina McBride's "In My Daughter's Eyes"...

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daugter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

This song is the reason I breathe...and her name is Abby.

Then there's Toby Keith's "If I Was Jesus"...
If I Was Jesus,
I'd have some real long hair
A robe and some sandals,
is exactly what I'd wear
I'd be the guy at the party, turnin' water to wine
Yeah me and my disciples, we'd have a real good time.
Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you (woooooh)
And I show you who's the boss (woooooh)
I'd forgive you and adore you
While I was hangin' on your cross
If I Was Jesus.
I'd have some friends that were poor
I'd run around with the wrong crowd,
man I'd never be bored
Then I'd heal me a blind man,
get myself crucified
By politicians and preachers,
who got somethin' to hide.
If I Was Jesus, I'd come back from the dead
And I'd walk on some water,
just to mess with your head
I know your dark little secrets,
I'd look you right in the face
And I'd tell you I love you,
with Amazing Grace.

The reason for Toby's song is not because I think I'm Jesus...but this is exactly the way I see Jesus. Just like a real person...a person who dedicated his life to making the world a better place.

Then there's Savage Garden's "Affirmation"...

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

What I believe in a song.
Then there's Savage Garden's "The Animal Song"...

'Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind

Just ask my dogs if being an animal in my house isn't pure heaven.
Oh...was I just supposed to pick one? Woops!

Christy (Christybelle), Rin (Bass Fairy), and Kerry (Webgrits)...you've just been tagged. (I guess I can alter the rules slightly...if you don't have music on your hard drive...just find a song.)
