This post replaces several cranky posts which I wrote and discarded.

This song makes me smile big every time I hear it. I am posting the lyrics, instead of something cranky, in the hopes it will make you smile, too.



I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips x2 (twice)
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live you life with arms wide open
Today is where you book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
(YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!)



In case you don't like song lyrics, I also offer a link to a gallery of baby animals. It takes a long time to load, but I guarantee that once it does, you won't be able to keep yourself from smiling (although, why would you want to?).

Finally, give me love!

this song is ridiculously popular with the 8 year old set, which makes me laugh :)

I remember (in my babysitting years) when "Gangster's Paradise" was a hit with the eight-year-olds. I think this is much, MUCH preferable. :)

I love that song... I bought it itunes. :)

G is very into this song which makes sense to me on a number of levels. I like it a lot, myself. Thanks for posting the lyrics here (I took the opportunity to past them into an email to him).

That's really neat! I can see why this song would appeal to kids, as catya also suggested - it's very "Yay life!"
