A Life Uncommon

It was a rough weekend emotionally. I'm a little raw from it.

So I'm driving along. Taking my girls to the library (we seriously have the best library ever. We stayed for three hours!). And I turn on the CD in my car. It's a Jewel CD that I have had FOREVER. I know every word to every song. And yet somehow this song was all new to me today. So I'm singing along and just started to cry as I drive (almost ran a red light too).

It's perfect. It spoke to my soul today - which sounds totes dramatic but it really did.




Lyrics

Don’t worry mother
It’ll be alright
And don’t worry sister
Say your prayers and sleep tight
And it’ll be fine
Lover of mine
It’ll be just fine

And lend your voices only
To sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish
To be free from
Fill your lives
With love and bravery
And you shall lead
A life uncommon

I’ve heard your anguish
I’ve heard your hearts cry out
We are tired, we are weary
But we aren’t worn out
Set down your chains
Until only faith remains
Set down your chains

And lend your voices only
To sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength
To that which you wish
To be free from
Fill your lives
With love and bravery
And we shall lead
A life uncommon

There are plenty of people
Who pray for peace
But if praying were enough
It would’ve come to be
Let your words enslave no one
And the heavens will hush themselves
To hear our voices ring our clear
With sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom

Come on you unbelievers
Move out of the way
There is a new army coming
And we are armed with faith
To live, we must give
To live

And lend our voices only
To sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength
To that which we wish
To be free from
Fill your lives
With love and bravery
And we shall lead...

And lend our voices only
To sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength
To that which we wish
To be free from
Fill your lives
With love and bravery
And we shall lead
A life uncommon

I started to bold the parts that spoke to me but it was almost all bold so I gave up.

So my fellow MoFems especially - we've had a hard weekend. I hope this soothes your soul in the same way it soothed my own. My love to you!
