every day angels

"I'm Sensitive"

I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.

You always tell me that is impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.

I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we can give it to everybody who have some faith
Oh please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.

I have this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
it's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way.

Wow...that about sums me up too.
I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.

Makes life so much richer and full of meaning, don't you think?

Smiles and hugs beaming your way, from one sensitive soul to another.

Meg,
I love that post! It sums me up as well. Because I am a little bit more than sensitive! Can't wait to see you!
Love, Sue

Always loved this song, but it was good to read the words again and take them in.
