Grown-Up Christmas List
by
Amy Grant
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee;
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies.
Well, I'm all grown-up now,
And still need help somehow. (can you still help somehow)
I'm not a child,
But my heart still can dream.
So here's my lifelong wish,
My grown-up christmas list.
Not for myself,
But for a world in need.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start, (and wars would never start)
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up christmas list.
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree. (wrapped beneath the tree)
Well heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up christmas list.
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth. (there'd be)
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end, oh.
This is my grown-up christmas list.
This is my grown-up christmas list.

This Christmas has been low for Greg and I this year. We haven't seen a lot of our friends, and we haven't celebrated Christmas with his family due to Chemotherapy that his father has to go through. His whole family can't even see each other with his dad's immune system so low and the kids having Chicken Pox. It feels that anything I wanted for Christmas was insignificant compared to the pain of Greg's family not being able to celebrate as a family for Christmas this year. That's why I picked this song. Something more significant should be asked for this Christmas, not clothing or computer items or things that just end up cluttering your home. Just being able to see our friends, and have them stop being so busy and to sit and chat for a while or for others, casting the issues aside for a while because seeing them is far more important than any "issues" whatever those "issues" may be. Having our family together at Christmas, despite the sickness and the erratic schedule of a mother who is a nurse and caretaker. There is so much to be thankful for and so much of the time we forget all about the forgiving and the time we need to take to celebrate with those we respect and love.

When I Look To The Sky
by
Train
When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go
Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me
Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And I can always find my way when you are here

It's nice to think that those who have gone before us are watching out for us. This song totally makes me think of that. When I "look to the sky" sometimes I feel that I have someone watching over me. Not some metaphorical angel, but I know my grandparents are up there spying down on me and watching what I do. I know that someone who loves me is always watching out for my interest. And I think that that goes for others who don't "believe" in heaven or hell, or Christianity or any religion at all. At least one person that they have lost in their life watches over them and in some manner. And it leaves a warm feeling of hope in our hearts that life can't be all bad and that it will all turn out alright.

Seek Up
by
Dave Matthews Band
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling,
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
what we think what we see
I'm not going to change my ways
just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud,
willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong,
ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round about
this merry-go-round
If at all God's gaze upon us fall,
his mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty
we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Sit a while with TV's hungry child,
big belly swelled
Oh, for the price of a coke or a smoke,
keep alive those hungry eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me,
mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all again
Forget about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that your emotions can be
swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, I am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up on emotion
and your cup is overflowing
You seek up on emotion,
sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
going- ha,ha...ha, ha
(Say, say)
Oh look at me in my fancy car
and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
into my grave, I'd save
Take a look again, take a look again
Everyday things change...stay the same
Forget about about the reasons and
the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
our emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked,
don't be tricked into thinking so
Soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up on emotion
and your cup is overflowing
You seek up on emotion,
sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
going- ha,ha...ha, ha
Fall back again, fall back again,
fall back again, fall back again,
fall back again, fall back again,
fall back again, fall back again

Intentions are not wicked,
don't be tricked into thinking so
These are part of the lyrics that drew me to this song. It's funny how people think that just because you don't talk to them in a while, that you hate them. Or if you try to do something nice, you are trying to get something out of them. I wish that people were less paranoid about the simplicity of things. Sometimes, a nice gesture is just that, a nice gesture and sometimes not talking to someone for a while is just because you are busy.

3x5
by
John Mayer
I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been
You held this letter probably got excited,
but there's nothing else inside it
didn't have a camera by my side this time
hopping I would see the world with both my eyes
maybe I will tell you all about it
when I'm in the mood
to lose my way with words
Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliche
And strange how clouds that look like mountains
in the sky are next to mountains anyway
Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it
when I'm in the mood
to lose my way but let me say
You should have seen
that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's
Guess you had to be there
Guess you had to be with me
Today I finally overcame
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it
when I'm in the mood
to lose my way but let me say
You should have seen that sunrise
with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's
no more 3x5's

Yes yes... I know, another John Mayer song. I can't help myself. I get lost in the music. This one is great. I love the fact that he's seeing life from a different perspective and has stopped looking to capture it on film. You have to see some things in person in order to feel what others do when seeing them. Sorta like our Northern Lights show that was massively huge thruout Wisconsin. It's just something you have to see for yourself. You can describe it to someone and even take a picture but it's nothing like seeing it for yourself.
