My Theme Song

If any of you watch "Allie McBeal", the idea of a personal theme song is familiar. Several characters in that program have songs that play just for them, in their imagination. Here is my personal theme song. I think it is appropriate for any birthmother, because the words to this song describe us -- strong, tough, and wiser -- and standing tall, just like the sunflower.

You gotta be
- Des'ree

Listen as your day unfoldes
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
my oh my heh, hey....

Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
oh oh oh

Remember
Listen as your day unfoldes
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

My oh my heh, hey
