"We Are the World"

25 years ago Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote these powerful words to help the support in Africa. With the help of many other singers and celebrities singing, the song became a hit. Now with the recent Earthquake disaster in Haiti, artists have come together again to rework this classic song to help support Haiti. Enjoy both the original and the remake of this song!

"There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretneding day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me"

"Where Have all the Cowboys Gone?"

It's an oldies and a song that gets stuck in my head for hours, but being that it's Valentine's Day and all I really want is a Cowboy, my only question for the day is really that...
"Where have all the Cowboys Gone?!"

"Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade?
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade?
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills.

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the Cowboys gone?

Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little somethin' to eat?
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet?
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills?

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the Cowboys gone?

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't even notice me.
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes

We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took that job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week
I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer.

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the Cowboys gone?
Where is my Marlboro Man?
Where is my shiny gun?
Where is my lonely ranger?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea
Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea
Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea"

It's a New Year and I've got a New Idea!

So after feeling like a failure with not posting on here in about 3 months...I've been doing a lot of thinking as to what I want my blog to be about! And so here is what I have come up with, I LOVE Music and being that I now live in Music City, I have been able to hear some pretty incredible artists and find a new love for all kinds of music! So in my thinking of how much I love songs and the meaning of songs and the lyrics to songs I thought that is just what I'll write about! Maybe it's a song of the day, maybe it's a song of the week, either way I hope that you will enjoy the songs and that in some way they will bring a bit of Instant Sunshine into your life as they have mine!
