Melody Inspired

I've had a long, tiring week. At one point I let it all go. I embraced the hectic-ness and breathed deep. Sometimes that's all you can do. This morning I turned on the iPod and this song came on. It was a refreshing little tidbit of inspiration that went right to my awaiting heart. And it made me feel better. Especially the line, "life is short as the day is long". I have been watching as my children grow right before my eyes, and I remind myself that all too soon they will no longer be little. I love how music can do that! So here it is, I hope it brings cheer to someone who needs it today...

"Here's To You"

Brooke Fraser

Cheers to the furrows on our brow 

To each hard-won victory 

Cheers to the losses that grew us up 

Killed our pride, and filled our cup 

Cheers to the friendships well worn in 

That time nor distance alter 

Here's to the sleepers we'll see again 

Find company in memoria 

Open your mouth and sing out your song 

Life is short as the day is long 

I can't leave you my body 

But I'll leave you a tune 

This is my legacy 

Cheers to you 

Cheers to the passing of our youth 

And the death of lust not one day 

A toast to the lessons not yet learned 

And to the trials that will teach them 

Open your mouth and sing out your song 

Life is short as the day is long 

I can't leave you my body 

But I'll leave you a tune 

This is my legacy 

Cheers to you 

Open your mouth and sing out your song 

Life is short as the day is long 

I can't leave you my body 

But I'll leave you a tune 

Open your mouth, and sing out your song 

Life is short as the day is long 

I can't leave you my body 

But I'll leave you a tune 

This is my legacy 

This is my legacy 

This is my legacy 

Cheers to you
