hmmm…..
Jewel has a new album coming out. It’s called The Merry Goes Round. She wrote the songs in this children’s album for her son, Kase, born in July. It has mostly her own writing but also includes a rendition of My Favorite Things. I don’t know if it will be a best seller, but I love Jewel, so even though I don’t have small children any more, I am sure I will down load it.
My favorite Jewel song of all time is one called Life Uncommon. Believe it or not, one time my daughter and I sang it in a church service. Its lyrics are haunting and remind us that we, too can live a life that is uncommon in its accomplishments. The lyrics to the chorus go like this:
Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom.
No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from.
Fill you lives with love and bravery.
And you shall lead a life uncommon
I don’t know about you, but these lyrics remind me that we have such a gift in this country of ours. We are blessed to have the freedom to be brave in times of crisis and to love whom ever we want to love.
More lyrics to the song say:
There are plenty of people who pray for peace.
But if praying were enough it would have come to be.
Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves.
To hear our voices ring out clear with sounds of freedom.
Don’t think I could say it any better.
hmmm…..
