Times Like These
I am not usually a fan of people dropping song lyrics but occasionally I find something I like a lot. Wednesday for class I had to present a poem to my class that meant something to me. There are so many songs I love that I could have chosen from, however I settled on a tasty treat from Jack Johnson. Times Like These is one of those songs I can’t get enough of. It was written after 9/11 & pretty much says chill out & enjoy the world. When you look at people in general, we all experience similar events in our life such as love, broken hearts, accomplishment, & loss. To each individual person the events are unique & meaningful. Although these events happen to everyone, each individual person’s life will never be exactly the same.
In times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on...
On and on it goes
Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture
But then hurt from time to times like these
And times like those
And what will be will be
And so it goes
Action, reaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
Those for peace and those for war
And god bless these ones, not those ones
But these ones made times like these
And times like those
What will be will be
And so it goes
And it always goes on and on...
On and on it goes
Somehow I know it will never be the same.
