April Writing Challenge #1: Song Lyrics

Glee Cast, “Don’t stop Believin’”
“Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world…she took the midnight train going anywhere.”
“Don’t Stop!”
“She took the midnight train going anywhere.” It didn’t matter where she ended up because anything would be better than where she was coming from. There was only pain and heartbreak back that way… it was time for her to walk away from all of that and start over again. Start a new life in which she learned to be open, to be vulnerable, to love, and to let herself be loved. A new life in which she didn’t let people who didn’t deserve her stick around. And those who did, those who were worthy of her, those were the ones she embraced, and coddled, and truly, truly, loved. It was only in this new place, with these new people, where she truly learned to LIVE.

“Don’t stop!” She learned that she could never stop moving away from the past and moving into a new person. If she stayed still for too long, she started to stagnate, and the memories and hurts of the past started creeping in. She had to keep moving forward, keep setting goals, keep working on bettering herself and healing the dark, quiet places. She had to keep moving forward in her friendships and romantics relationships… meaning being vulnerable, slowly revealing who she really is to the people who mattered the most. She truly learned that to LIVE, one must never stop moving forward, embracing what life truly was about. To LOVE and BE LOVED.
