In The Moment- Madison Haley



In The Moment

I used to think that I was runnin
From what I know to be wrong
And the good times would keep on comin
But not for long
I used to think that everything would work out in the end
My life could pass before my eyes
Without choices to be made

Where’s the laughter in my eyes again
The courage to be brave
The chance I have to just let go
It’s my life I could save
Where’s the beauty in the world around
I used to see each day
To live in the moment
Is something I could change

I used to think that I was livin
Up to my full potential
But livin from day to day
Doesn’t tend to be substantial

Where’s the laughter in my eyes again
The courage to be brave 
The chance I have to just let go
It’s my life I could save
Where’s the beauty in the world around
I used to see each day
To live in the moment
Is something I could change

A new day, a new dawn
It’s comin, it’s here
It’s wrapped its arms around me
And I have something to say

I see the laughter in my eyes again
The courage to be brave
The chance I have to just let go
It’s my life I have saved
I see the beauty in the world around
I see it everyday
To live in the moment
Is something I have changed

A new day, a new dawn
It’s comin, it’s here
It’s wrapped its arms around me
To live
In the moment

My heart goes out to those who have been effected by the tragedy Friday morning in Connecticut. There's not really anything that can truly help in a situation like this, but I decided I would write a song for those who are in need of comfort at this time. This is for you. 26 Beautiful Hearts Just the day before Not knowing what was in store Families gathered with full hearts Never wanting to be apart They play and they sing Letting Christmas carols ring Cause just the next day There’d be nothing to say Her six year old daughter And his six year old son Were makin Christmas gifts For them to love When the chaos and the screamin Became something they weren’t dreamin Running down halls, tears were shed Tryin to think Christmas carols in their head Tryin to get to a place Where’d they’d be safe But now they sing with the angels up in heaven Connected with those from 9/11 Safe and free from harm There’s a chai...

Lessons Learned in 2014

Image
I’ve learned so many things over this past year that I can’t help but share them. I’ve decided to share what I learned in each month as the year progressed. These lessons include stories, insights, and advice that I was given to get through the good times as well as the hard times. Whether you know me well or not, I hope you can relate to any one thing, or at least know that you aren’t alone. I believe we should share our experiences with others who may be struggling with similar things so that we might be able to help each other through our hardships. Here we go. January- Just because it’s a new year, that doesn’t mean you start with an empty slate. If you don’t keep up with your good habits, the bad ones seep through and they don’t fix themselves. YOU must do the fixing. The lesson here that I learned was that just because the New Year brought new motivation, that didn’t mean I would miraculously become someone better. Not without continuous hard work on my part, anywa...
