Won't let life get me down

There are times when you are in a bad mood and others end up catching the mood from you. There are other times when you are miserable and you encounter a happy person, you catch it from them. Music has a way of changing your mood, so let this one change it to hopeful thought about your future. The featured video today is Kiki Dee, I've Got The Music In Me.

Ain't got no trouble in my life

No foolish dreams to make me cry

I'm never frightened or worried

I know I'll always get by

I heat up, I cool down

When something gets in my way I go round it

Won't let life get me down

Gonna take it the way that I found it

I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me.

Let go of whatever problems you have just for a little while and remember what feeling hopeful felt liked. Chair dance or get up on your feet and do it. Sing to it, even if you cannot sing. If you are really bad then you can hum.

If you remember what feeling happy is like, then maybe you'll want to be that way more often. The thing is, you can be if you find what you need to heal. It is great to know you can recover a happier life with PTSD,  but is even better to know it is possible! Catch a better life from others who know exactly where you are so you can get to where they are...happier.

OK, for today, just enjoy the song and let it give you some hope of better days.

Remember, it is your life...get in and drive it!

I've Got the Music in Me

The Kiki Dee Band 

Ain't got no trouble in my life

No foolish dreams to make me cry

I'm never frightened or worried

I know I'll always get by

I heat up, I cool down

When something gets in my way I go round it

Won't let life get me down

Gonna take it the way that I found it

I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me.

I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me.

Some say that life is a circle

But that ain't the way that I found it

Gonna move in a straight line

Keeping my feet firmly on the ground

I heat up, I cool down

I've got words in my head so I'll say them

Won't let life get me down

Catch a hold of my blues and just play them

I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me.

I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me.

Feel funky, feel good

Gonna tell you I'm in the neighborhood

Gonna fly like a bird on the wing

Hold onto your hat honey - sing, sing, sing, sing

I heat up, I cool down

I've got words in my head so I'll say them

Won't let life get me down

Catch a hold of my blues and you know I'll play them

I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me.

I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me.

I got music, I got music, I've got the music in me.

I've got the music in me, I've got the music in me

I've got music, pretty music, I've got the music in me.
