Pocket Full of Sunshine.



I found a little bit of myself this week. Now I know this will be a continuing process as long as I live...
But it's been awhile since I've seen myself or even remembered I'm here....
I'm by no means the girl I thought I was or tried to be, to think I was good enough, for myself or for others...I'm me, just me.
and I love her....

This song I've heard a few times and thought, NAh changed the station...
Now when I listen to it, I have an overwhelming sense of peace. I get chills, and I'm dancing in my room like I'm sixteen!!!!
It's funny what you can hear when you change your listening cuz this song is ALL me...

I've gotta pocket, gotta pocket full of sunshine
I've got a love, and i know that it's all mine
Do what you want but ya never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me

(let's hear it girls....)
Take me AWAY, Take me AWAY
A SECRET place, a SECRET place
A sweet ESCAPE, a sweet ESCAPE
Take ME away, Take ME away
To BETTER days, to BETTER days
Take me AWAY, Take me AWAY
A HIDING place, a HIDING place

I've gotta pocket, gotta pocket full of sunshine
I've got a love, and I know that it's all mine
Do what you want but ya never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me

I've gotta pocket, gotta pokcet full of sunshine
I've gotta LOVE, and I KNOW that it's all MINE
Wish that you could, but ya ain't gonna own me
Do anything ya can to control me, (ya can't control me) OH NO

Take me away, take me away
A secret place, a secret place
A sweet escape, a sweet escape
Take me away, take me away
To better days, to better days
Take me away, take me away
A hiding place, a hiding place

There's a place that I go,
but nobody knows
Where the rivers flow,
and I call it HOME
and there's no more lies,
and the darkness is LIGHT
and nobody cries,
There's only BUTTERFLIES!!!!

(HERE"S where you jump up and down!!!)

Take me AWAY, A secret PLACE
A SWEET escape, take ME away
Take ME away, To better DAYS,
take me AWAY, a hiding PLACE

I gotta pocket, gotta full of sunshine
I got a love, and i know that it's all mine...

The SUN is on my SIDE
Take me for a RIDE
I SMILE up to the SKY
I know I'LL be ALRIGHT
