Grateful For Music Challenge 2016

It's November! You know what that means....Thanksgiving will be here in only a few short weeks!!

 

I love this month and this time of year. It always inspires me to really think about and appreciate everything I have to be grateful for. I know I am so blessed. I think it means even more to me this year because of how difficult this has been year for me. I have had very, very low points. Times where I was so sad and angry I just wanted to be done. Music has helped me a lot. I have found great comfort in the messages of so many songs and have found songs that truly speak the words, feelings and pleadings of my heart. So I thought it was only right to do another music challenge of gratitude! Because I truly am so very thankful for the impact, help, joy, peace and strength music brings to my life.

 

Song: Never, Neverland (Fly Away)

Artist: Scott Alan

 

I found this song on youtube being sung by the girl (Kirsten Maldonado) from Pentatonix. I immediately fell in love with and connected to the song. It has a Peter Pan theme which I love, but it was also so magical and just seemed to express feelings that I have about life and growing up and childhood. I have been obsessed with this song and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have :)

 

 

She'd tell me about Captain Hook, and all of his men

Who followed Peter with a hook, replaced as his hand

In those tales bad guys seldom did win

So the Captain was eaten, and Wendy had twins

 

That's the stories as I recall

But I may have made up the end

Don't remember much At three feet tall

 

Except for when I'd say

"Mom Let me go to Never Neverland

Let me fly for one day

Throw that fairy dust in my hair

So I pretend I'm flying away"

I'm flying away

 

Well, to my surprise I grew up too fast

And that easy life of Tinkerbell, it never did last

So I'd silently dream my soul far, far away

Where I can be immortalised like Peter one day

That's my childhood as I recall

But in some ways it never did end

And now I'm standing, well, a little bit taller

 

Except when I'd say

"Mom! Let me go to Never Neverland

Let me fly for one day

Throw that fairy dust in my hair

So I pretend I'm flying away"

I'm flying away

 

And though life is never easy

As we, as children, read in the books

Where fairy dust can just fly you so far away

And all I ask is that you

Leave me my imagination

So I can pretend I'm flying away

I'm flying away!

And that is where I'll stay

Right there in Never Neverland

I'll be flying

I'll be dying

For love, appreciation

Where mermaids would sing

And fairies would ring

Right there, there in Never Neverland

 

And it's second to the left and straight on 'til morning

Or is it second to the right and straight on 'til morning?

In Never Neverland In my Never Neverland
