Just wanted to share my daughter’s first music video and the lyrics to her song, Blinding. I think she is brilliant!!!

“Jumping out the plane, free falling
Don’t know where I’m going
Living in the present, appalling
Think I may have just found my calling
Make it good, make it crazy
Live full out and don’t be lazy
High above the world I’m flying
Lights so bright, I think we’re blinding

Yeah, I think we’re blinding (x3)

Heat, our blood, rushing through our veins
Our breath, our pulse, such a beautiful exchange
Don’t want to just say I’m in existence
Going to party on and say I’m living
For today, for tomorrow
Make it count, even through the sorrows
Life gets hard, but we keep overcoming
Gotta live it up, it’s now or nothing

‘Cause you gotta make every mistake
It’s not really a mistake when you’re trying
No denying,
You are fighting your own battles
But so are others, you discover
There is sonder, well no wonder
We all connect with some intellect
And some fun, and some love, and some other stuff too

So don’t be missing out
It’s life, it’s all about
The journey
Ergo no worry, no hurry
You can save a life,
It’s your choice, you decide
That as long as you’re in existence, you go the distance
With lights so bright, hey we’re blinding

Hey, we’re blinding (x4)

See the people in the crowd
All around, now’s the time you need to reach out
You rarely know the impact you make in others
Strangers are wise, they help you discover
Life is not always as it seems
New perspectives can really change the way that you think
I was always taught to be a rebel
The highs and lows, they’re truly instrumental

But in this life
You keep on growing
Keep on showing
What you’re made of
Change up the range of
Your experience
Make your own moves
And dare to be different

So don’t be missing out
It’s life, it’s all about
The journey
Ergo no worry, no hurry
You can save a life,
It’s your choice, you decide
As long as you’re in existence, go the distance
With lights so bright, hey we’re blinding

Hey, we’re blinding (x4)

Gotta sacrifice to go for the glory
Don’t you want to tell an extraordinary story?
The best one is your life. You say
How you want it to play out
You can start today

By not missing out
This life it’s all about
Your journey
Ergo no worry, what’s your hurry?
You have the rest of your life
It’s up to you, you decide
That as long as you’re in existence, you’ll go the distance
With lights so bright, hey we’re blinding

You’re a standout
Some spirit and courageous doubt
Will make you stronger
Ergo you’ll go longer
There is no limit to what you can conquer
By magnitude
This life it is up to you
As long as you’re in existence, you go the distance
With lights so bright, hey we’re blinding

Hey, we’re blinding (x8)”
