Things can change

I was looking at YouTube this morning just because of there is not much else to do at 7 am and I am not sleeping. I am a big Dixie Chicks fan. Say what you will but they are brilliant. I love their song writing and how they play music. They had a song out that was not played much on the radio. Its called "Top of the World". Its very haunting to me when I hear it. I watched the video for the first time this morning and it gave me chills. It is about 3 generations of family and how even the way our grandparents raised our parents can effect us today.....but also how we can rise above how we were raised and stop a cycle that could very well consume us and our children. Its a very powerful video. So here ya go...I will post the lyrics to the bottom as usual.....have a great morning!

I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved jesus
The way my wife does
I wish it had been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud
But that wont happen now
That wont happen now

Theres a whole lot of singing thats never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
Shes never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world

I dont have to answer any of these questions
Dont have no God to teach me no lessons
I come home in the eveing
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there in my chair

Theres a whole lot of singing thats never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
Shes never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world

I wished Id a known you
Wished Id a shown you
All of the things I was on the inside
Id pretend to be sleeping
When you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye
Go to work in the rain
I dont know why
Dont know why

cause everones singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now

To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
