A little

Monday, May 4th, 2009

This is a song Ive been singing for a long time. its like an old friend. but, you know, I think it, its only recently that I discovered what its really about.

Youve got to give a little, take a little,
And let your poor heart break a little.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.

Youve got to laugh a little, cry a little,
Until the clouds roll by a little.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.

As long as theres the two of us,
Weve got the world and all its charms.
And when the world is through with us,
Weve got each others arms.

Youve got to win a little, lose a little,
Yes, and always have the blues a little.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.

Glory of Love : Beaches : Bette Midler

Genda Phool – cannot stop hip hopping to it…

Also like this song a lot..

What else is new ??

Well, lets say I am trying to find a part of myself.

Been feeling a little lost. So getting inside myself to find that part. :) I know its there somewhere inside me…

Otherwise.. I loved the moon that came up on Holi. At one point there was no power and the moon the moon rays seemed to lighten up the neighborhood with its beautiful rays.. in full glory.. I just went to my balcony, looked up and breathed in the serenity that was brought forth by the beautiful moon..

I was also reminded of the moon when I was in Kovalam, we were lucky to see another full moon and the moon appeared so big. Much bigger than the one in Bangalore and it was another awesome sight.

Well anyway.. so the week has gone by in a frenzy and to balance it with the ricochet of lost thoughts.. I am alternating between some really quiet moments within myself and swinging to music and yoga of course. I think that was one of the highlights of my life now.. besides getting lost in words and in meaningless questions and answers which does not really solve any problems.. I know its a phase.. and I am waiting for it to pass by…

So anyway.. hope you had a great Holi. We were working as usual during one of the holidays which we used to celebrate largely… back home..

Have a good weekend..

All that you have is your soul

Lyrics | Tracy Chapman lyricsAll That You Have Is Your Soul lyrics

Oh my mama told me
‘Cause she say she learned the hard way
She say she wanna spare the children
She say don’t give or sell your soul away
‘Cause all that you have is your soul

Well I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
All that you have is your soul

So don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
‘Cause all that you have is your soul

Why was I such a young fool
Thought I’d make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I’d made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can’t possess another
And all that you have is your soul

So don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
‘Cause all that you have is your soul

I thought, thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I’d take it all, I’d take it all, I’d run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul

So don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
‘Cause all that you have is your soul

Here I am, I’m waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
‘Cause all that you have is your soul

So don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
‘Cause all that you have is your soul

Oh my mama told me
‘Cause she say she learned the hard way
She say she wanna spare the children
She say don’t give or sell your soul away
‘Cause all that you have is your soul

All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul
