  Well, I heard some people talkin? just the other day
  And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
  But let me tell you I got some news for you
  And you?ll soon find out it?s true
  And then you?ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
  ?cause I?m already gone
  And I?m feelin? strong
  I will sing this vict?ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo
  
  The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
  But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
  Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
  You can see the stars and still not see the light (that?s right)
  
  And I?m already gone
  And I?m feelin? strong
  I will sing this vict?ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo
  
  ALREADY GONE

  Well I know it wasn?t you who held me down
  Heaven knows it wasn?t you who set me free
  So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
  And we never even know we have the key
  
  But me, I?m already gone
  And I?m feelin? strong
  I will sing this vict?ry song
  ?cause I?m already gone
  Yes, I?m already gone
  And I?m feelin? strong
  I will sing this vict?ry song
  ?cause I?m already gone
  Yes, I?m already gone
  Already gone

  When I began my exit process, this was in my head nearly 24/7:

  Stevie WonderYou Will Know Lyrics:

  Lonely one of young so brokenhearted
  Traveling down the rigid road of life
  Using pharmaceutical extractions
  To find the paradise
  
  Finds the high but comes
  down feeling lower
  Gets down on their knees
  and starts to pray
  Looking up to heaven for the answer
  They hear a voice that says
  
  You will know
  Troubled heart you'll know
  Problems have solutions
  Trust and I will show
  
  You will know
  Troubled heart you'll know
  Every life has reason
  For I made it so
  
  Single parent trying to
  raise their children
  But they would much rather not alone
  Reaches out to find that special someone
  To make their house a home
  
  Finds someone but no one is the right one
  Gets down on their knees
  and starts to pray
  Looking up to heaven for the answer
  They hear a voice that says
  
  You will know
  Lonely heart you'll know
  Problems have solutions
  Trust and I will show
  
  You will know
  Lonely heart you'll know
  Every life has reason
  For I made it so

  I wouldn't call it celebrating, but parts of this song ring true:

  Positively 4th Street

  You got a lotta nerve
  To say you are my friend
  When I was down
  You just stood there grinning
  
  You got a lotta nerve
  To say you gota helping hand to lend
  You just want to be on
  The side that's winning
  
  You say I let you down
  You know it's not like that
  If you're so hurt
  Why then don't you show it
  
  You say you lost your faith
  But that's not where it's at
  You had no faith to lose
  And you know it
  
  I know the reason
  That you talk behind my back
  I used to be among the crowd
  You're in with
  
  Do you take me for such a fool
  To think I'd make contact
  With the one who tries to hide
  What he don't know to begin with
  
  You see me on the street
  You always act surprised
  You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
  But you don't mean it
  
  When you know as well as me
  You'd rather see me paralyzed
  Why don't you just come out once
  And scream it
  
  No, I do not feel that good
  When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
  If I was a master thief
  Perhaps I'd rob them
  
  And now I know you're dissatisfied
  With your position and your place
  Don't you understand
  It's not my problem
  
  I wish that for just one time
  You could stand inside my shoes
  And just for that one moment
  I could be you
  
  Yes, I wish that for just one time
  You could stand inside my shoes
  You'd know what a drag it is
  To see you

  Sunshine go away today
  I don't feel much like dancing
  Some man's gone, he's tried to run my life
  Don't know what he's asking
  
  He tells me I'd better get in line
  Can't hear what he's saying
  When I grow up I'm going to make it mine
  But these aren't dues I been paying
  
  (Chorus)
  How much does it cost, I'll buy it
  The time is all we've lost, I'll try it
  But he can't even run his own life
  I'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine
  
  Sunshine go away today
  I don't feel much like dancing
  Some man's gone he's tried to run my life
  Don't know what he's asking
  
  Working starts to make me wonder where
  The fruits of what I do are going
  He says in love and war all is fair
  But he's got cards he ain't showing
  
  (Chorus)
  
  Sunshine come on back another day
  I promise you I'll be singing
  This old world, she's gonna turn around
  Brand new bells'll be ringing

  Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd ( My version ) - Another Lie in the Hall

  We don't need indoctrination

  We don't need no mind control

  No dark sarcasm from the platform

  Elders leave them kids alone .

  Hey elders - leave them kids alone.

  All in all it's just another lie in the hall

  All in all it's all just lies in the hall.

  Should I copyright it ? LOL! Would love to blare it over loudspeakers at all the district conventions ! That would be cool

  Linkin Park - Numb

  I'm Tired Of Being What You Want Me To Be
  
  Feeling So Faithless, Lost Under The Surface,
  
  Don't Know What You're Expecting Of Me
  
  Put Under The Pressure Of Walking In Your Shoes
  
  [caught In The Undertow, Just Caught In The Undertow]
  
  Every Step That I Take Is Another Mistake To You

  I Can't Feel You There,

  I'm Becoming This
  
  All I Want To Do Is Be More Like Me
  
  And Be Less Like You
  
  
  Can't You See That You're Smothering Me?
  
  Holding Too Tightly; Afraid To Lose Control
  
  'cause Everything That You Thought I Would Be
  
  Has Fallen Apart Right In Front Of You
  
  [caught In The Undertow, Just Caught In The Undertow]
  
  Every Step That I Take Is Another Mistake To You
  
  [caught In The Undertow, Just Caught In The Undertow]
  
  And Every Second I Waste Is More Than I Can Take

  And Be Less Like You
  
  
  And I Know I May End Up Failing Too,
  
  But I Know You Were Just Like Me With Someone Disappointed In You
  
  
  I've Become So Numb
  
  I Can't Feel You There,
  
  I've Become So Tired, So Much More Aware
  
  I'm Becoming This
  
  All I Want To Do Is Be More Like Me
  
  And Be Less Like You
  
  
  I've Become So Numb
  
  I Can't Feel You There,
  
  I'm Tired Of Being What You Want Me To Be
  
  I've Become So Numb
  
  I Can't Feel You There

  posted this before but .......

  New blood joins this earth
  And quickly he's subdued
  Through constant pained disgrace
  The young boy learns their rules
  
  With time the child draws in
  This whipping boy done wrong
  Deprived of all his thoughts
  The young man strugggles on and on he's known
  A vow unto his own
  That never from this day
  His will they'll take away
  Chorus
  
  What i've felt
  What i've known
  Never shined through in what i've shown
  Never be
  Never see
  Won't see what might have been
  What i've felt
  What i've known
  Never shined through in what i've shown
  Never free
  Never me
  So i dub thee UNFORGIVEN
  
  They dedicate their lives
  To running all of his
  He tries to please them all
  This bitter man he is
  Throughout his life the same
  He's battled constantly
  This fight he cannot win
  A tired man they see no longer cares
  The old man then prepares
  To die regretfully
  That old man here is me
  Chorus
  
  
  You labelled me
  I'll label you
  So i dub thee UNFORGIVEN

  it even says....

  you labelled me I label you

  I DUB thee unforgiven

  Boston
  Don't Look Back
  Don't Look Back
  Don't look back, a new day is breakin'
  It's been too long since I felt this way
  I don't mind where I get taken
  The road is callin', today is the day
  
  I can see it took so long to realize
  I'm much too strong not to compromise
  Now I see what I am is holding me down
  I'll turn it around
  
  Chorus:
  I finally see the dawn arrivin'
  I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
  [ Boston Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
  Far away and left behind
  
  It's a new horizon and I'm awakin' now
  Oh I see myself in a brand new way
  The sun is shinin', the clouds are breakin'
  'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play
  
  I can tell there's no more time left to criticize
  I've seen what I could not recognize
  Everything in my life was leading me on
  But I can be strong
