Which Will I Do?

Day 29 - Breathe

"A song I hear on the radio."

"Breathe"

by Ryan Star

she's fine, most of the time
she takes her days with a smile
moves like a dancer in light
spinning around to the sound
but sometimes she falls down

breathe, just breathe
take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me
breathe, just breathe
let the life that you live
be all that you need

she likes New York at night
she dreams of running away
shine on, bright like the sun
when even the sky turns gray
i need you to hear me say

i need you to hear me say

breathe, just breathe
take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me
breathe, just breathe
let the life that you live
be all that you need

let go of the fear
let go of the doubt
let go of the ones
to try to put you down
you're gonna be fine
don't hold it inside
if you hurt right now
then let it all come out

breathe, just breathe
take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me
breathe, just breathe
let the life that you live
be all that you need

breathe, just breathe
take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me
breathe, just breathe
let the life that you live
be all that you need

let go of the fear
let go of the doubt

let the life that you live
be all that you need

let go of the fear
let go of the doubt

take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me

Thank you, Sarah. I remember you.

Quoth the Raven...

but those days are long gone.

Day 28 - All the Wild Horses

"A song from a band that's been around a long time

that I'm just finding out about."

"All the Wild Horses"
by Ray LaMontagne


All the wild horses
All the wild horses
Tethered with tears in their eyes
May no man's touch ever tame
May no man's reigns ever chain
And may no man's weight ever defray your soul
And as for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away
As for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away

(Per Merriam-Webster, "defray" from the Old French:
"damage by breaking").

This one's for you, Jessica. I remember you.

Day 27 - Barracuda

"A song I would have as my entrance music if I was a boxer, wrestler, etc."

"Barracuda"

by Gretchen Wilson and Alice in Chains

So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the
Sun - Kisses for everyone
And tales - it never fails!
You lying so low in the weeds
Bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down on my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?
Back over
Time when we were all
Trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong you're selling a
Song - A name whisper game.
If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?
"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You...I think you got the blues too.
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!

Day 26 - One Drop of Blood

"A song that makes me excited."

This song gives me chills, knowing that my sins are covered

by the sacrificial blood of The Lamb.

"One Drop of Blood"

by Ray Boltz

Standing in the courtroom
When I heard, how do you plead?
The accuser of the brethren
Was staring at me
He said, we got your number
There is no escape
For here are your transgressions,
Your failures and mistakes

He pointed to the corner
Where the scales of justice stood
I saw so many failures there
There was nothing good
And in that very moment
When it seemed all hope was lost
I said, I plead the blood of Jesus
And His death upon the cross

One drop of blood
Fell to the scales
It covered my transgressions
And all the times I failed
The enemy was mighty
He came in like a flood
He was defeated by one drop of blood

I stood and watched in silence
As others were brought in
I saw them start to tremble
When they turned and faced their sin
They offered no excuses
They offered no alibis
The truth was overwhelming
And it would not be denied

Their righteousness like filthy rags
And nothing they could say
They bowed their heads in silence
As they were led away
But for the true believers
Each time it was the same
His glory shown around them
As they called upon His name

One drop of blood
Fell to the scales
It covered their transgressions
And all the times they failed
The enemy was mighty
He came in like a flood
He was defeated by one drop of blood

No greater sacrifice has any other made
Oh yes He paid the price
With every drop He gave

One drop of blood
Fell to the scales
It covered my transgressions
And all the times I failed
The enemy was mighty
He came in like a flood
He was defeated by one drop of blood

One drop of blood
Fell to the scales
It covered my transgressions
And all the times I failed
The enemy was mighty
He came in like a flood
He was defeated by one drop of blood!

What I've Never Had

Day 25 - Pick Me

"My least favorite song that's out right now."

"Pick Me"

by Justin Bieber

This song is so awful that I'm not even posting the lyrics, and unless you have something to really punish yourself for, don't listen to it, either!

Day 24 - Drift

"A song from an artist that's not well known."

"Drift"

by Emily Osment

I am
Just another number
Stack me up I'll crumble
And drift along

I am
Just another nothing
Light me up I'll fall in
And then be gone

Lalay lalay lalay
Oh
Lalay lalay lalay
Oh
Lalay lalay lalay
Oh

I am
Well suited for erasing
Fading into hazy
I'm sinking strong

Lalay lalay lalay
Oh
Lalay lalay lalay
Oh
Lalay lalay lalay
Oh

And then
It's all over and done

Lalay lalay lalay
Oh
Lalay lalay lalay
Oh
Lalay lalay lalay
Oh

Lalay lalay lalay
Oh

Well suited for erasing
Lalay lalay lalay
Oh
Fading into hazy
Lalay lalay lalay
Oh
I'm sinking strong
