Rodent Regatta

This old song came to mind this morning. As we launch a new year, this weblog will continue to point to ways that people are finding significance in their lives. Sometimes it comes quite easily. Other times it is amazingly difficult to figure out what is significant about what you are doing, why your work matters or where you fit in the ”grand scheme” of things. Hang in there. Your Song is just the one someone else may need to hear.

YOUR SONG
by Elton John

It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen
