Indulge with Lyrics

Right now, I'm feeling a bit like this:

I've been crazy

I've been holdin' myself back for so long

But I've got so much I can give

Don't wanna be afraid to be wrong

You know I'm not too good at too many things

But I've been gettin' real good at gettin' down on myself

But guess what

I'm gonna try to break free from this prison I've built

I'm gonna give myself permission to shine

I'm gonna shine so bright

Gonna make every head wanna turn

You're finally gonna see me

Give myself permission to shine

I'm gonna light up the night

Shine a little of my light on the world

Totally self-indulgent, I know. Bachelor Girl, Permission to Shine, by the way. Great song.

My little self-indulgent lyric-fest got me thinking about all of the songs that punctuate certain times in my life. For example, FAME, the song from the musical of the same name got me through my singing on stage anxiety (not stage fright - it's a different thing. I could speak, act and dance on stage just fine. This was singing specific, strangely) as a whippersnapper. Pumped me up real good. It became my "theme song" of sorts, Ally McBeal-style.

So. Come on, indulge away. Indulge yourself, indulge me. Whatever. Slap me with some lyrics, Baby!
