A New Lyrical Challenge!

Thanks to everyone who has been leaving suggestions for lyrics in the Suggest a Song Thread! (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28181) :)

This months song was suggested by Cassie-in-Texas :tup:

The song for MAY is - "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield

Here are the lyrics :

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah, yeah

This layout was the reason that I suggested this song. I found the lyrics to be so inspirational. I won't put it in the gallery because it's not a new layout, but if you'd like to see it here it is: Unwritten (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=233550&ppuser=64708)

Well, I've got to admit, I liked the song a whole lot better before it became the theme for hair products, but, OH, well!

Here is a layout I am using for a gift for my aunt for Mother's Day - the lyrics fit perfectly! I have a picture of my mom and aunt dressed alike in 1944 and again 60 years later - they've been friends and dressing alike all those 60 years and will probably still be doing it for whatever part of the next 60 years that they have together. So, the rest is still Unwritten!!

Theres still a few hours left here, and a few bonus hours too, as I'm taking my girls to High School Musical on Ice this afternoon so won't be able to get the poll up for another 12 hours or so, being tomorrow morning, 1st June, DSP time?! I think! lol!!
