~Lessons Learned~

*this is a topic we discussed in class about a month ago! I am going back.*

Theme Song

After Priya brought up the topic of theme songs, I have really been thinking about which song would fit me. What would be my theme song. There are millions of songs in the music realm and finding a suitable songs has taken me weeks. While I was driving back from Arizona this past weekend I was listening to Carrie Underwood and I heard my song:

Lessons Learned

(Words & Music by Diane Warren)
There’s some things that I regret

Some words I wish had gone unsaid

Some starts that had some better endings

Been some bad times I ’ve been through

Damage I could not undo

Some things I wish I could do all
all over again

But it don’t really matter

When life gets that much harder

It makes you that much stronger, oh

Some pages turned, some bridges burned

But there were lessons learned
From every tear that had to fall from my eyes

From every day I wondered how I’d get through the night

From every change life has thrown me

I’m thankful for every break in my heart

I’m grateful for every scar

Some pages turned, some bridges burned

But there were lessons learned
There’s mistakes that I have made

Some chances I just threw away

Some roads I never should’ve taken

Been some signs I didn’t see

Hearts that I hurt needlessly

Some wounds that I wish I could have one more chance to mend

But it don’t make no difference

The past can’t be re-written

You get the life you’re given, oh

Some pages turned, some bridges burned

But there were lessons learned
From every tear that had to fall from my eyes

From every day I wondered how I’d get through the night

From every change life has thrown me

I’m thankful for every breath in my heart

I’m grateful for every scar

Some pages turned, some bridges burned

But there were lessons learned


And all the things that break you

Are all the things that make you strong

You can’t change the past coz it’s gone

And you gotta just move on

It’s all lessons learned
Bridge with new changes:

and all the things that break you

Are all the things that make you strong

You can’t change the past cuz it’s gone

You just gotta move on

Because it’s all lessons learned

I absolutely love this song. So many times throughout our lives things happen that we cannot control and often times we cause ourselves a lot of hurt and trouble, but in the end, like the song says, there was a lesson learned. This song covers every aspect of my life. The way I might have treated my parents in the past, the way I handled a friendship, a relationship, the death of a loved one, my transfer to Redlands. Lessons Learned shows me that no matter what roads I take and no matter how many mistakes I make, I am still young and I am going to learn and make the right decisions. I highly encourage everyone to look at all the music out there. There are incredible artists and writers waiting for you to related to their materpiece.
