7th Day: Searchin my Soul

On the 7th day of Christmas my true love said to me, "SEARCHIN MY SOUL" (by Vonda Shepard).

Anyone still remember the show, "Ally McBeal"?
Well, it was one of my favorite TV shows.. the TV soundtrack album was one of the few original CD's that I actually bought.. ;) and this song was my "pick-me-up" back then..  I just love the lyrics as it resonated with me.. and now, more than ever, it speaks to me and of my current struggles..

"Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to give
Got myself together now I'm ready to live"



Searchin My Soul
Written by Vonda Shepard with additional lyrics by Paul Gordon


I've been down this road walkin' the line
That's painted by pride
And I have made mistakes in my life
That I just can't hide

Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to bring
Got myself together, now I'm ready to sing

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home

One by one, the chains around me unwind
Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind
Oh I've been thinking of you for a long time
There's a side of my life where I've been blind and so...

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't wanna be alone in life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
Baby I been holding back now my whole life
I've decided to move on now
Gonna leave all my worries behind

Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to give
Got myself together now I'm ready to live

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't wanna be alone in my life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
