Wait, maybe the answer's looking for you

"Hold On" by Yes

"Justice to the left of you
Justice to the right
Speak when you are spoken to
But don't pretend you're right
This life's not for living
It's for fighting and for war
No matter what the truth is
Hold on to what is yours

Jigsaw puzzle traitors
Set to spill the beans
Constitution screw up
Shattering the dreams
Blood flows in the desert
Dark citadels burning too
Watch! Look over your shoulder
This one is strictly for you

Hold on, hold on
Wait, maybe the answer's looking for you
Hold on, hold on
Wait! Take your time, think it through
Yes I can make it through!
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine shine on through
Hold on, hold on
Sunshine shine on you
See it through

Talk the simple smile
Such platonic eye
How they drown in incomplete capacity
Strangest of them all
When the feeling calls
How we drown in stylistic audacity
Charge the common ground

Round and round and round
We living in gravity
Shake. We shake so hard
How we laugh so loud
When we reach we believe in eternity
I believe in eternity!

Hold on, hold on
Wait, take your time, see it through
Hold on, hold on
Wait, maybe a chance is looking for you

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Sunshine shine on shine on you
Sunshine shine on through
Sunshine shine on shine on you
Sunshine shine on through

Hold on, hold on
Wait, take your time, see it through
Hold on, hold on
Wait, maybe the answer's looking for you

Sunshine shine on shine on you
Sunshine shine on through"


i like Yes... i was supposed to write this yesterday, but that didn't end well... in fact, it ended with me missing all of first and most of second period today. lol
it's ok, i'm feeling better now, not completely, but the urge to hurl is significantly diminished. :) today was interesting to say the least... and here is what made it that way:
- woke up feeling horrible
(got up a 5:30 and felt dizzy, had a head ache and almost hurled all over my floor, mom still made me go to school)
- spent a good 45 mins having breakfast with my mom
(she came into my room and woke me up at 7, because i had decided to go back to bed, and we ate a nice little breakfast together until around 8 when i went to go get ready for school. it was nice)
- got to school at the end of second period
(that was kinda cool, except for the whole nausea thing, but getting out of french was a plus)
- went into the band room/choir room for the third time this week to practice the french songs
(only this time we actually sang in front of Foley, which was interesting... he said he really liked our singing. plus, this was the first time that the whole group was together)
- had a very interesting conversation with Danny and Arian about a vast number of relatively amusing things...
(that's all i'm going to say)
and i am sure that it will continue to get better... after all, tonight is senior awards night. whoo.

:)

so, why did i pick this song? i dont know... maybe because i have been listening to Yes for a week straight now and this one just stood out to me. to me this song is all about choices and how making choices can be difficult. which i can totally relate to. plus, with all of us going off to college soon, we are all going to have to make some choices... (thats not really why i picked this song, but whatever)
Choices i am facing right now (in order from least to greatest importance):
- do i fold the laundry now, or later
- should i go wake mom up from her nap
- should i stay up late tonight
- should i wear the black pants and the green shirt or the beige pants and the yellow shirt
- should i study for my physics final
- do i offer my parents an ultimatum about where i will be living when school ends


Rhetorical question:
What choices are you facing?
