There are songs that just fit the moment. For me, the song below is one I first heard on a TLC commercial for “John and Kate Plus 8”, “17 Kids and Counting” and another show or two. It has been in my head. I think it resonates with me because it’s how I feel about where I am, as a person, as a wife, as a mother. I’m just thankful to be here + have been finding beauty in so many ordinary moments.
You should go listen. Maybe it will speak to your heart too.
Here are the words:
Hey child up and go
A big world is out there waiting for us
to live in every day
Outside you will find
there is love all around you
It takes you, makes you wanna say
That it’s a beautiful life
and it’s a beautiful world
and it’s a beautiful time
to be here, to be here, to be here
The sky’s blue
just us two
Side by side we’ll see the world
that surrounds us
Hey, seize the day
Each road
every mile’s a photograph in motion
to astound us, carry us away
into a beautiful life
‘Cause it’s a beautiful world
and it’s a beautiful time
to be here, to be here
Leave all your cares behind you
The sun is rising
Turn around
it’s right in front of you
and it’s a beautiful life
and it’s a beautiful time
to be here, to be here, to be here
Definitely one to add to the soundtrack to my life.
