I am one of those people who finds meaning and inspiration in quotations and song lyrics. I don't know if I should consider that to be one of my strengths or one of my weaknesses. Much of the poetry in my life has been in the form of song lyrics. As time passes and circumstances change, different songs mean less to me or take on more meaning.
At the moment, there are several songs that seem exceptionally relevant to me, and fit the stage in life where I now find myself. One of those is a song by Incubus called "Drive." I think it's about taking charge of your life, and being receptive to the experiences and opportunities it has to offer, without fear or trepidation (click the play arrow below and follow along with the lyrics).
(lyrics)
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there
