This song keeps hitting me in my gut and in my heart, time and again. Sometimes not, but most of the time strongly. Today is one of those strong moments.

Savage Garden: Affirmation

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your own happiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Until you say goodbye
Oh no no no no no ( Repeats itself many times fading)

Leave it to kids... the kid who sings this also wrote it, says the text on YouTube...

In my dream,
Children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue,
The fields are green
And laughter is the language of the world

Then I wake and all I see
Is a world full of people in need

Chorus:
Tell me why (why)
Does it have to be like this
Tell me why (why)
Is there something I have missed
Tell me why (why)
Because I don't understand
When somebody needs somebody
We don't give a helping hand

Tell me why

Every day
I ask myself
What will I have to do to be a man
Do I have
To stand and fight
To prove to everybody who I am

Is that what my life is for
To waste in a world full of war

Repeat chorus

Tell me why (tell my why)
Tell me why (tell my why)
Tell me why (tell my why)
Just tell me why (just tell me why)

Repeat chorus

Tell me why (why why do the tigers run)
Tell me why (why why do we shoot the gun)
Tell me why (why why do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn
(Why why do we say we care) Tell me why
(Why why do we stand and stare) Tell me why
(Why why do the doplhins cry)
Can someone tell us why we let the ocean die
(Why why if we're all the same) Tell me why
(Why why do we pass the blame) Tell me why
(Why why does it never end)
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends
Why why

There are times when some songs seem particularly important. Today, this one made an impression on me as an affirmation.
I hope the Barcode Brothers will forgive me for copying the lyrics, for they send a very important message that should be told over and over, again and again.

Barcode Brothers: Ambient

Consider this:
92% of the world's population
feel that their lives could be better.
what about you?
If you could do anything,
anything at all,
what would you do?
What are you doing now?

Imagine that
you could live your life,
knowing that it could not be better,
and never feeling that you would rather
be doing something else,
be somewhere else,
or be someone else.

Now consider this:
some people actually live that way
and so could you.

Contemplate this:
What if 90% of the problems you encountered in your life
were mere illusions and only existed in your mind?
In your everyday life
whenever something annoys you,
stresses you, makes you mad, or makes you sad,
consider if that something really matters.

Will you even remember
how you felt in one day, one week, one month, one year,
or what about in ten years?
So when the people you work for pressure you, and fail to understand you, does it really matter?
And when they call you on the phone,
screaming and yelling,
does it matter and should you really allow that to influence your life?
It's all about choices.
