On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe...
Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...
Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...
Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...
Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed

(one of my favourite movies)
I’m gonna walk a hundred miles,
I’m gonna whistle all the while,
If that’s what it takes to make me smile,
I’m gonna walk a hundred miles.
I’m gonna rend right up this hill,
Summer sky or winter chill,
If I gotta take a break I will,
But I wanna rend right up this hill.
I wanna hold the whole wide world
Right here in my open hands,
And maybe I’m just a little girl,
A little girl with great big plans.
I’m gonna go and take a chance,
I’m gonna learn to ballet dance,
Learn a little something about romance,
I’m gonna go and take a chance.
I’m gonna live a crazy dream,
Impossible as it may seem,
Doesn’t matter what the future brings,
I’m gonna live a crazy dream.
I wanna hold the whole wide world,
Right here in my open hands,
And maybe I’m just a little girl,
A little girl with great big plans.
I wanna hold the whole wide world,
Right here in my open hands,
And maybe I’m just a little girl,
A little girl with great big plans.
You tell me, don’t try it,
I’m warning you that I won’t buy it.
All the failure is fleeting,
I trust it always has its meaning.

What are your great big plans
my Lovelies?
Love and Light
eddie vedder.. sighhhhhh... I have the soundtrack to the movie, one of my favourites!! beautiful monday offering!!
ReplyDeleteI'll listen to the other song after I get my eddie fix ;) I don't know my great big plans yet..but when I know, I'll let you know :) xo
I shall do yoga moves and hold them longer than before, sit in the sun and write and think, pick the last tomato on the vine, ride my bike down by the river, all while hoping and praying for peace not war, everywhere. My big plan. Thanks for asking, Cat! x
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of that movie- what is it about? Other than the wild and burning money:) I got that...
ReplyDeleteLOVE the second song!!! Mindy is one of my favs for mellowing out:) I loved the video to that song. Girl empowerment! My big plan? If I could I would be free to move wherever I wanted. But that does not seem to be in my future. I wish I could be one of those capable free gals on the video...I am only in spirit- not in physicality. So my back up plan will be beautiful because it's mine. I intend to savour what I can. I wish I had other lofty goals but I don't. I want my husband home more, money to enjoy him home and make meals easier, a cozy done home, and lots of time with kids and friends. That is my goal for life..
Heeeey you.. looking forward to hearing about your weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove love that sweet happy song, Whole Wide World.. going to go and find her now.. lol!
Happy Monday!
xo
Love the music! Not sure which one I like more. :) Very inspiring and moving. Thanks so much for the lift...:)
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best week!
