Invincible
In each life journey there are certain songs that resonant with a person and becomes a favourite – even a theme song for their life.
Invincible – Hedley
Took a long hard look at my life.
Lost my way while I was fighting the time.
A big black cloud, stormy sky
Followed me while I was living a lie.
So heartless, so selfish, so in darkness,
When all your nights are starless,
You’re runnin’ outta hope.
But I found the strength inside to see,
Found the better part of me,
And I’ll never let it go. I’ve come a long long way,
Made a lot of mistakes.
But I’m breathin’, breathin’,
That’s right and I mean it, mean it.
This time I’m a little run down,
I’ve been living out loud.
I can beat it, beat it,
That’s right ’cause I’m feeling, feeling.
Invincible, woah oh-oh-oh-oh. [x3]
When you’re gone for a day on your own,
Tear your heart out just to find your way home.
I’ve been so high, I’ve sunk so low,
I’ve come so far with nothing to show
For it mistaken, I got so good at taking,
But now I’m tired of faking.
This story’s getting old.
But I found the strength inside to see,
Found the better part of me,
And I’ll never let it go.
I’ve come a long long way,
Made a lot of mistakes.
But I’m breathin’, breathin’,
That’s right and I mean it, mean it.
This time I’m a little run down,
I’ve been living out loud.
I can beat it, beat it,
That’s right ’cause I’m feeling, feeling.
Invincible, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh. [x3] Invincible.
I’m not the only one,
To crash into the sun and live to fight another day.
Like a super nova, that old life is over.
I’m here to stay. Now I’m gonna be,
Invincible. Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh [x3]
Invincible.
I’ve come a long, long way,
Made a lot of mistakes,
But I’m breathin’, breathin’,
That’s right and I mean it, mean it.
This time I’m a little run down,
I’ve been living out loud.
I can beat it, beat it,
That’s right ’cause I’m feeling, feeling,
Invincible. Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh [x3]
Invincible. Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh [x3]
Invincible.
This is my song. I have had many dark days not knowing that one day I would be able to look back and laugh. I have loved and lost. I have tried and failed. In each of those moments when I was told “One day this will be funny” I thought the person was insensitive and and frankly knew nothing. Alas “they” were right.
My deepest hurt in love lost was having the man I wanted to marry take his own life. That night as the rain poured on my body and the thunder and lighting crashed I was certain that I would never again be able to love. I knew that I would never again smile….
That was many moons ago and I have loved deeply since and I have laughed and smiled more times than I can count the hurts.
I have made more mistakes than I could count or even care to. In each mistake came a gem in a form of a lesson or a “good story” to share. I have hurt others and been hurt by them. I have learned to be responsible for my energy and my heart. I have learned to see the “silver lining” when the clouds are the blackest.
Most important – I have learned I am not alone. Not in any instance. I always have love within me and around me and so no matter how dark the clouds, how dark the emotion I know the storm will pass. My ship (body, mind, spirit) my be banged up and tender however I will emerge a stronger, more power Being because I am Invincible.
