Music Lyrics

Im sure it has happened to you,
one day you are listening to a song you have listened to a hundred times and then one day that one line jumps out and smacks you right where it hurts the most,

this happened to me the other night listening to 'walk away by Ben Harper'
there is a line that just struck home for me

"They say time will make all this go away,
but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays."

the reason i think this has hit home a bit more is because in the last few days the old birthday thoughts have been looming in the back of my mind, now i know my birthday is not for a month and a bit but the thoughts have started to circle my mind like the vultures you see in those really cheesy desert scenes.

and the thoughts now of all the tomorrows i have let turn into yesterdays in my life its hard to look back at all the choices i have let pass and 'played safe'. i guess this now sparks a new challenge in my life, to learn from my Yesterdays and plan better for my tomorrows.

one of my most beautiful and treasured friends Heather Forbes, has a new years plan to do one thing amasing and out of the ordinary each month and i think this is something that i plan to adapt into my life next year.

the other half of the challenge (and this for me will be the harder part) is to let go and well... Walk Away as the song says. there have been times that i have been so focused on the one thing i want in my life the most, that every time there was even the slightest chance of that one thing happening i would almost fool myself into believing that this was that which i longed for. im really good at it too... i can take almost any situation into my mind and within moments it has been folded and turned and tossed around my big head so many times even i cant remember how it started.

it is this amasing power that i intend to take control of and to take on the future not as i have been but as a new creation
so with this i hope to find a new outlook on life, one that does not find me next year one step from 30, single and just working but hopefully in a place where i might be a stone throw from the big three-0 but still living, enjoying life and yes maybe even running my own business - (the dream is still alive)

Walk Away - Ben Harper
lyrics

Oh no- here comes that sun again.
And (that) means another day without you my friend.
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself.
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away.

With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?
But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away and head for the door.

We've tried the goodbye so many days.
We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray.
They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free,
but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery.
They say time will make all this go away,
but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down
And once again, you my friend, are nowhere to be found.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door.
You just walk away - walk away - walk away.
You just walk away, walk on, turn and head for the door.
