travelling.

Well I can't tell you where I'm going, I'm not sure of where I've been
But I know I must keep travelin' till my road comes to an end
I'm out here on my journey, trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit

Like a poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home
Where that is no one can tell me, am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' on

Questions I have many, answers but a few
But we're here to learn, the spirit burns, to know the greater truth
We've all been crucified and they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again, you're gonna see a change in me

God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain
Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening, keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru

Oh sometimes the road is rugged, and it's hard to travel on
But holdin' to each other, we don't have to walk alone
When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try
We can make a world of difference, if we want to we can fly

Goodbye little children, goodnight you handsome men
Farewell to all you ladies and to all who knew me when
And I hope I'll see you down the road, you meant more than I knew
As I was travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin'
Drifting like a floating boat and roaming like the wind
Oh give me some direction lord, let me lean on you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru

Like the poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find my own way home
Oh sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', as I'm travelin' thru

- Travelling through, Dolly Parton

only now then i realized that Dolly Parton looks a little nuts, but she's a talented songwriter and singer. some people really diss country music but i like it. ok maybe country-pop, not country-country filled with guitars and more guitars and tim mcgraw kind of country. but rascal flatts and sheryl crow and carrie underwood are beginning to grow on me. and now dolly parton.

i love her perspectives on life through this song. (:

i've always appreciated american idol for educating me about many other genres of music that i otherwise, would never be exposed to. and many eras of music. strange but true.

this season's idol surpasses last year's, which was totally disappointing. jason castro, david cook, the young cute david archuleta, michael johnson (?) the aussie and carly smithson. my favorites. in terms of star potential i think the 2 davids stand a high chance.

ok back to FYP thesis. my countdown has started ticking somewhere in my head. 2 weeks.

note to self: DO NOT PANIC.
