I'm ready to live not only survive...

I love music.
Very few things speak to my soul the way music does.

The lyrics to one of my favorite songs have been running through my mind quite a lot lately...

The Station...
I've been riding on this train so long,
trying to reach my destination.
Holding out for the perfect place,
hope I find it at the station.
Restlessly I watch the hours,
waiting to pull in.
Feeling like I've wasted time on dreams lost to the wind.

I'm ready to live not only survive
I'm ready to dance like no one's watchin
Climb a mountain, kiss the sky, 
then do it all again.
I'm ready to love like I've never been hurt
I'm ready to sing like no one's listenin
Watch more sunsets,
see the world.
If not now, when?

I've told myself it's all right,
to run without hesitation.
Enjoy the ride and live my life,
cause now I know, there is no station.
No finer place where dreams come true,
no better world than this.
Just moments filled with joy and tears,
where hopes and fears exist.

I'm ready to live not only survive
I'm ready to dance like no one's watchin
Climb a mountain, kiss the sky,
then do it all again.
I'm ready to love like I've never been hurt
Ready to sing like no one's listenin
Watch more sunsets,
see the world.
If not now, when?

Honestly, if I could have written a theme song for my life, this would be it.
I AM ready to live, not only survive.
