"Ride"

I was watching the C.M.A. music festival tonight when Martina McBride came on and sang her song "Ride." (For those of you who have never heard this song before, I put the lyrics below.) This happens to be a favorite song of mine at the moment. It is all about how you should carry yourself and try to hold onto a positive out-look on your life no matter how hard you think life may be at the moment. Life may seem hard at the moment, but it won't last long. You never know what is gonna come at you, so enjoy every great moment you have and hold on as tight as you can to that feeling, because even at your worst moments there is always going to be something little that will bring a smile to your face. I wanted to put it on my play list for my blog for awhile now, but for some reason the place I use does not have that particular song available at the moment....

Ride lyrics
Martina McBride

You wake up from your dreamin' and you don't want to face the day
You can't find a reason to think your world will ever change
You can hide beneath the covers
Or you can run outside, head up high and carry on

Life is a roller coaster ride
Time turns the wheel and love collides
Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky
To shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

It brings you up slowly then shoots you like a rocket towards the ground
It twists you and it shakes you before it turns you upside down
You can't see what's around the corner
And you can't look back, so just live it up and feel the rush

Life is a roller coaster ride
Time turns the wheel and love collides
Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky
So shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

Ride, ride, yeah

Oh yeah, shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride

Ride, ride, yeah, yeah
