Breakaway

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I’d just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I’d end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
I’ll do what it takes til’ I touch the sky
And I’ll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love
I’ll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I’ll spread my wings
And I’ll learn how to fly
Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Wow, we have been given another song today. I recognized the melody and knew a couple of the lines so this one was easier to find.

And I knew that the message today was about remembering the breadth and depth of our possibilities. Each of us are given the opportunities for miracles each and every day. We just don’t always see them, believe them, accept them or pursue them.

Each of us has a spirit that knows how to fly. It is buried under all of that stuff we have allowed into our authentic self. Today we are reminded it is there and it remembers.

“Take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway.” That is the HOPE.

-Meditate/pray….dust off your spirit, spread your wings.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-How’s that bucket list coming? Update your vision board.

-Alex safe and sound at home.

-Catching up with John and Cathy.

-My grandson, AJ, rocks. He had 4 goals in one of his soccer games and they ended the season in first place.

-My granddaughter, Peanut, also rocks. She got 2 home runs in one softball game, they won the tournament and she was MV P.

-A very special man, Dr. Jim Hause has joined God’s choir. What a great addition to a man who dedicated so much of his life to music.
