Oh, that Hallelujah chorus...

This song just clamed my heart tonight and i wanted to share it with you. i also included a link to a youtube clip with it. please take some time, slow down, and open your ears. Thanks!


I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Maybe I have been here before, I know this room; I have walked this floor, I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch, love is not a victory march, it's a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

There was a time you let me know whats really going on below, but now you never show it to me, do you? (and)
Remember when I moved in you; the holy dark was moving too, and every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah

Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And its not a cry you can hear at night, its not somebody who's seen the light, its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu--jah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu---u---jah

Elaine Ardis Harris, My Wonder Woman

People have always told me that being adopted made me no different than anyone else. I think that's crap. Being adopted is who i am and its taught many a lesson over the years. Beng adopted means that instead of surprising my parents by just showing up on an ultrasound screen and my dad saying "oops", it means i was chosen. I, ME, was chosen over all others to become these amazing woman's son. Most know it has not always been warm and fuzzy, but through all the arguements and hard times, one thing has stayed the same, remained consistant ans that is the woman who chose me, the woman who dispite all the crap we endured, still loves me and DOES. NOT. REGRET. HER. CHOICE. My mother is the only person who could love me for me. My mother is the only one who could ever fully begin to understand me. My mother is the one thing in this world i know i can count on. I love you, mom, with all my heart and dispite all the hard times, you're are the best mother anyone could ever hope for. i thank the lord for you everyday. Happy Mother's day. I love you.
