Reality Talent Shows

     Recently, I've been hooked on songs by American Idol singers like Chris Daughtry and Carrie Underwood. I love the lyrics of 'Wasted' by Carrie Underwood.They somehow inspired me quite randomly.She sings,

' I don't wanna' spend my life jaded

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I've let all these years go by

Wasted'.

    One day, listened to the song 'This is my Now' by Jordin Sparks, the winner this year.I was engrossed in every single word like I was under a spell. Suddenly, tears rolled down my cheeks. I wasn't sad but I was touched.It was as though she was singing for me. It was the right song at the right moment.

This is My Now

This Is My Now lyrics There was a time I packed my dreams away

Living in a shell, hiding from myself

There was a time when I was so afraid

I thought I’d reached the end

Baby that was then

But I am made of more than my yesterdays

[Chorus]

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment

Cuz I look around

I can’t believe the love I see

My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts

That was then, this is my now.

Had to decide was I gonna play it safe

Or look somewhere deep inside

and try to turn the tide

Find the strength to take that step of faith

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

And I have the courage like never before, yeah

I’ve settled for less but ready for more

Ready for more

[Chorus x2]

This is my now

 It's surprising what strong emotions such simple words can trigger.Here is the link to the song.
