A song that really gets to me"

"Dancing in the backyard
Kool-aid moustache and butterfly wings
Hearing Andrea McArdle sing
From the hi-fi in the den
I've been waiting my whole life
To find a way back to then

I aimed for the sky
A nine-year-old can see so far
I'll conquer the world and be a star
I'll do it all by the time I'm ten
I would know that confidence
If I knew a way back to then

So I bailed on my hometown
And became a college theatre dork
I was eastbound and down
Moving to New York
So I crammed my life in a U-Haul
To find my part of it all

But the mundane sets in
We play by the rules
And plough through the days
The years take us miles away
From the time we wondered when
We'd find a way back to then

And when you least expect
Opportunity walks through the door
You suddenly connect
With the thing that you forgot
That you were looking for

And there you are
Right in the middle of what you love
With the craziest of company
You're having a kick-ass time
And being who you wanted to be in this world

You're that little girl
With her wings unfurled
Flying again
Back in your backyard dancing
I found a way back to then."

Can i just tell you how much this song means to me right now. I have been really belting it out lately and working on making the lyrics hit home.

I feel like this song is my life, I am sure that everyone feels that way when they hear a song like this. But just over a month a go i threw my life in U-haul to find my piece of it all. And you know what just like it says, when you least expect it opportunity knocks on your door, you suddenly connect... I have really done that, I am here making every connection meeting awesome people and working with amazingly talented people. and I am having a "Kick-Ass" time! So right now the world around me seems to spin for me and that is awesome. I know that it won't stay this way for ever but live in the moment, and enjoy it while you can.

I really LOVE this song, and I hope that it means something to EVERYONE that hears it or reads it!

SIde note, Its sunday Here in Las Vegas, well its sunday really everywhere, but things do not stop here on SUnday, Its weird how much goes on, meetings and shows,and rehearsals and stuff! But alas my church of brandon (in my bed) will have to be postponed for a while.
