God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood

I told hubby to listen to me while I sang the song God Bless the USA and I can't help but, get sentimental. This song is so powerful. America is home. Let us all remember the unsung heroes who defend this country for freedom. Happy President's Day everyone.

If tomorrow all my things were gone,
I'd worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
With just my children and my wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars,
To be livin' here today.
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
And they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
To the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
And New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
And its time we stand and say.

That I'm proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I'm proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Reason Enough by Regine Velasquez

I was posting the blogpost about Oldies Music and and I made mention about the word "reason enough " and the song of Regine Velasquez just popped up in my mind. Oh my goodness, I miss this song. Funny that I can remember the song and forgotten why it was so special back then. Let me think hmmm....

I made myself a promise some time ago
Never again to give my heart away
Fell in love with someone who left me in the end
The price of love was just too high to pay
I thought my life had ended, but you came along
And showed me how much brighter things could be
Now you see I've turned my back
On that promise that I made
Knowing that your love has set me free

REFRAIN:

(`Cause) You are reason enough for me to go on living
You are reason enough for me to smile again
In a world where hearts are broken

Every now and then
One finds reason enough to love
Like I've found reason enough in you to love again
So here I am, all caught up in this new found love
Feeling like I've never felt before
Putting my love on the line with you
And taking a chance again
I'm not afraid to love anymore

(Repeat Refrain)

In a world where hearts are broken
Every now and then
One finds reason enough to love
Like I've found reason enough in you to love again

Nah! I remember so well >o<. I listen to this song over and over when "Babes" left me in exchange to pursue his Dentistry career in the US. We both made the right decision because I am happy with my married life now. I pray that he is successful and happy in his life too. In my case, time heals all wounds!

If you are heart broken, don't despair! It happens for a reason so; live your life. Heartaches will be gone in due time. If you think that your life has ended, look around you. Your family and friends love you dearly. Most of all, love yourself and that is reason enough to keep on living don't you think? Cheer up!

Mean by Taylor Swift

If you experience being bullied at school, do not take it against yourself! Do better! Do not push yorself to their crowd! You are different from them and you are better than they are. Study well and when you are professional and successful, they will stay at the bottom. Cheer up and sing the song of Taylor Swift. You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man
Well, you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
I'll walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I'll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing

But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?

Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
