For this I am eternally grateful to Jewel.<\/strong><\/p>\nLast night was a rough night, so I sang along as I played it over and over. Jewel has nailed my perspective, which makes her the third song in my “Sue’s Theme Song List”<\/p>\n
Here are the rest of the lyrics:<\/p>\n
If I could tell the world just one thing
\nIt would be that we’re all OK
\nAnd not to worry ’cause worry is wasteful
\nAnd useless in times like these
\nI won’t be made useless
\nI won’t be idle with despair
\nI will gather myself around my faith
\nFor light does the darkness most fear
\nMy hands are small, I know
\nBut they’re not yours, they are my own (x2)
\nAnd I am never broken
\nPoverty stole your golden shoes
\nIt didn’t steal your laughter
\nAnd heartache came to visit me
\nBut I knew it wasn’t ever after
\nWe’ll fight, not out of spite
\nFor someone must stand up for what’s right
\n‘Cause where there’s a man who has no voice
\nThere ours shall go singing
\nMy hands are small I know
\nBut they’re not yours, they are my own (x2)
\nI am never broken
\nIn the end only kindness matters (x2)
\nI will get down on my knees, and I will pray (x3)
\nMy hands are small I know
\nBut they’re not yours, they are my own (x2)
\nAnd I am never broken
\nMy hands are small I know
\nBut they’re not yours, they are my own (x2)
\nAnd I am never broken
\nWe are never broken<\/p>\n
Thanks Jewel<\/p>\n
As I post this I’m reminded of today’s date. The lyrics for this song fit today’s theme too. My heart goes out to everyone affected 9 years ago when the planes attacked. <\/p>\n
“In the end, only kindness matters….We are never broken”<\/p>\nPeace be with you<\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Well, one to add to my list – but it’s a short list. So far there are only two that spring readily to mind worthy of being my ‘theme. The first is an oldie, Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive. The second is from the movie Footloose, Holding out for a Hero. My new addition started poking into my consciousness during my “OMG will I make it in time” flight home last month. Just two lines from Jewel’s, Hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[109],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-deathofmydad"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1052"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1279,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1052\/revisions\/1279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
