Can Song Lyrics Be 100% Accurate ?

Today's post is centered on the lyrics of the song of the day.  One benefit of not having blogged in a while is that I have a fresh list of (used to be) NEW songs to highlight in my posts of reflection, questioning, and sometimes silliness.


Song Of The Day:

I absolutely love and can agree virtually 100% with the lyrics to the song "Believer" by American Authors.  If you've never reflected on the lyrics of a song before, might I suggest this one?  Especially if you fancy yourself an optimist or a hopeful person - despite countless experiences or people discounting your desires to be a believer.

If you don't like the tune or can't connect to YouTube wherever you are reading this post, here are the lyrics for your review.  See if, like me, you can actually envision yourself experiencing the various emotions and reactions described in the song.  Which one(s) are most applicable to you?  Which do you think are most common among the people in your life?  Which would you be most surprised to find out I agree with?

Lyrics Of BELIEVER:
I'm just a believer
That things will get better
Some can take it or leave it
But I don't wanna let it go
[x2]

I'm a little bit sheltered
I'm a little bit scared
I'm a little bit nervous
I'm goin' no where

I'm a little bit jealous
I'm a little bit slow
I'm a little bit hurtful 
And I don't wanna let it go

No...
And I don't wanna let it go

I'm a little bit angry 
When every one's around
But I get a little lonely
When no one's out

I feel my demons
Misleadin' me

I'm just a believer
That things will get better
Some can take it or leave it 
But I don't wanna let it go
[x2]

Maybe when I get older
And I'm in the ground
The weight's off my shoulders 
It was bringin' me down

I've never been that lucky 
I've never tasted fame
I'm always lookin' for something
But I hate changin'

Time fades
There's no space
As life breaks new ground

I'm just a believer
That things will get better
Some can take it or leave it 
But I don't wanna let it go
[x2]

It doesn't matter what is out there
My head is spinning and it won't bail out
It doesn't matter what is out there

Cause time fades
There's no space
As life breaks new ground

I'm just a believer
That things will get better
Some can take it or leave it 
But I don't wanna let it go
[x3]
