I don’t know if there is a song that sings about my approach to life, but I sure know a song that I relate to the most. ‘Breakaway’ by Kelly Clarkson. It begins with, ‘Grew up in a small, and when the rain would fall down, I’d just stare out my window’ and resonates very deeply with me.
Mine would be Alive by Sia:
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don’t change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you’re taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived
I’m still breathing, I’m still breathing
I’m still breathing, I’m still breathing
I’m alive
I’m alive
These questions are not getting any easier! What immediately came to mind is Amazing Grace, followed in short order by Bridge Over Troubled Water and Sounds of Silence. I’m sure there are many others! Each stirs my soul in different ways – to have my eyes open to the amazing grace which fills my life with love, joy and peace and provides that bridge over the invariably churning waters of life and the loud silences that sometimes fill the air
“Live for Today” by The Grass Roots. When I think about the past I get melancholy, when I think about the future, I get anxious; I do best rooted in the present.
Or maybe I’m just in a happy mood and half a month from now I’ll be in the doldrums and would answer this question with something on the complete other end of the spectrum 😉

I agree…Three Little Birds, or as it is better known, Don’t Worry be Happy…is a favorite of mine too.

I like Bob Marley’s song, “Three Little Birds.” When I get anxious, I sing it to myself, it always makes me smile.
