Courage to Change - 🎶 Sia

General Discussion
1

My daughter goes through phases where she only wants to listen to certain music. Right now her artist is Sia. Today we got into the car and, of course, she asks, “Mama! Can we just hear ONE Sia song?” I begrudgingly turn on a Sia song - one we haven’t listened to as much as the others.
Well, I’m glad we heard it (and listened to it 5 more times)! This song reminded of me, of you all - us.

I hope this link works!
Here are the lyrics:

World, I want to leave you better
I want my life to matter
I am afraid I have no purpose here
I watch the news on TV
Abandon myself daily
I am afraid to let you see the real me

Rain it falls, rain it falls
Pouring on me
And the rain it falls, rain it falls
Sowing the seeds of love and hope, love and hope
We don’t have to stay here, stuck in the weeds

Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change today? (Oh)
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change today? (Oh)

You’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything
You’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything

World, you’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything
I want to leave you better
I want my life to matter
I am afraid I have no purpose here

The rain it falls, rain it falls
Pouring on me
And the rain it falls, rain it falls
Sowing the seeds of love and hope, love and hope
You don’t have to stay here, stuck in the weeds

Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change today? (Oh)
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change today? (Oh)

You’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything
You’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything

Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change today? (Oh)
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change?
Have I the courage to change today? (Oh)

You’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything
You’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything

You’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything
You’re not alone in all this
You’re not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything

Same! This one really surprised me, though. The lyrics are powerful and felt like they came out of nowhere. This part is my favorite
Rain it falls, rain it falls
Pouring on me
And the rain it falls, rain it falls
Sowing the seeds of love and hope, love and hope
We don’t have to stay here, stuck in the weeds

The visual of plants bursting forth through their struggle to do so moved me
