One of my favorite songs...

Hi Everyone,

One of my "luxury items" is my iPod.  Normally I would not bring "technology" into the backcountry but since this trip is a tad bit longer than a weekend getaway I've cut myself some slack and allowed for the distraction.  Since the battery runs out much faster than it takes me to get from town to town (to recharge) I still have plenty of time to simply walk, reflect and ponder.

I was walking the other day and had my iPod set to shuffle, which allows the music player to select the next song in random order.  This is kinda fun since I have an extreemly diverse music collection and can go from classical to hip hop to country to pop to jazz or whatever else I've downloaded.

The song "Goodbye Ordinary" by Mercy Me came on and I promised myself that I would post the lyrics and a link to the tune so everyone can listen to it for themselves.  It's one of my favorites and I hope you enjoy it too!

Here's a link if you'd like to listen to the song:

Here are the lyrics:
I wonder when we first bought into this
so satisfied with status quo.
Have we convinced ourselves that this is all there is?
Well all that is within me says we were meant to break free.

[chorus]
Live like there's no tomorrow.
Love extravagantly.
Lead a life to be followed.
Goodbye ordinary,
Goodbye ordinary.

We were never meant to compromise,
settle for mediocrity.
This life was never ment to be a waste of time.
Well all that is within me says no more just existing.

[chorus]
Live like there's no tomorrow.
Love extravagantly.
Lead a life to be followed.
Goodbye ordinary,
Goodbye ordinary.

No more complacency,
no more just settling.
This time goodbye to atrophy for
we were meant to be alive.
[chorus]
Live like there's no tomorrow.
Love extravagantly.
Lead a life to be followed.
Goodbye ordinary,
Goodbye ordinary
