Ok, obviously this has been sung way too often by cute little 7 year old girls. But thinking about how it applies to us who have left 'the truth'.....

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on...

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back
The past is in the past

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway

Closer to Fine

This song speaks to me. I even chose it's title for my name on this forum.

Closer To Fine

By Indigo Girls

I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life.
Maybe give me insight between black and white.
And the best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously.
It's only life after all.
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable,
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear.
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket.
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it.
I'm crawling on your shores.
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain.
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line.
And the less I seek my source for some definitive,
The closer I am to fine. The closer I am to fine.
I went to see the Doctor of Philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee.
He never did marry or see a B-Grade movie.
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me.
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind,
Got my paper and I was free.
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain.
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line.
And the less I seek my source for some definitive,
The closer I am to fine. The closer I am to fine.
I stopped by the bar at three A.M.
To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend.
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board,
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before.
And I went in seeking clarity.
I go to the doctor, we go to the mountains.
We look to the children, we drink from the fountain.
We go to the Bible, we go through the work out.
We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout.
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line.
And the less I seek my source, the closer I am to fine.

My favorite...........I GET OUT...by Lauryn Hill

Try Billie Joel's "my life"

And how about Bon Jovi's "It's my life"

Helps when you sing along with Bon jovi and put" your hands up in the air like you just do not care!" - boov

cantleave

The kyrics of Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars, spoke to me when I was leaving.

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

"Selling the Drama" Live

disillusioned 2

This song was written by Lisa Marie Presley. I believe it was about Scientology.

This here is a city without lights
Those are all the people without eyes

Churches they don't have a soul
Soup for sale without a bowl
Religion so corrupt and running lives

Farewell, fair weathered friends
I can't say I'll miss you in the end

So long, seems that I was so wrong
Seems I wasn't that strong
Dead wrong and now I'm long gone
Wrong side, I've been sleepin' on the wrong side
Stains all over my soul I can't hide
Nothing's more clearer than goodbye

These roads they don't lead to anything
These people they talk, they say nothing

Actors they don't have a part
Heartfelt people with no heart
I'll find a new crowd, make a new start

Farewell, fair weathered friends
I can't say I'll miss you in the end

So long, seems that I was so wrong
Seems I wasn't that strong
Dead wrong and now I'm long gone
Wrong side, I've been sleepin' on the wrong side
Stains all over my soul I can't hide
Nothing's more clearer than goodbye

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen
Say nothing at all if you've nothing nice to say
