Emerge
The new year means it is time to find my new One Little Word. I have thought long and hard this year. I wanted a word that included strangth, and growth, and could be a focus as I continue to face this new life. Something that would capture the feelings of not being invisible, of giving myself permission to go forward and find new ways to bring good things into our lives.
I saw the word "emerge", and I knew it was perfect for what I needed. It is 2014. A new phase of my life has begun. New things are happening. Struggles are still there, but it is time to live beyond the barriers of fear and worry. It is time to emerge.
Labrinth- Beneath Your Beautiful
So many are quick with compliments, which is nice, but it is rare to find somebody who looks beyond it to see what else there is. Heard this song and it stopped me in my tracks and made me listen to the lyrics. Beautiful song.
(feat. Emeli Sandé)
You tell all the boys no
Makes you feel good, yeah
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh, no
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a voice say please don't hurt me
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now boy, take it off now boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Oh, tonight
See beneath, see beneath,
I... Tonight
I...
I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling
But that's okay
Cause I'll be right here
I just wanna know
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Tonight, see beneath your beautiful
Oh tonight, we ain't perfect, we ain't perfect
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

Terrified...
You, by the light
Is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong
You're the thing that's right
Is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong
You're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely
To the other side
To the other side
You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
And this could be good
It's already better than that
And nothing's worse
Than knowing you're holding back
It's already better than that
And nothing's worse
Than knowing you're holding back
I could be all that you needed
If you let me try
If you let me try
You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only
I only said it 'cause I mean it
I only mean it 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you
I only mean it 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you
You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
Every word feels like a shooting star
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life...
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life...
