Allstar - when you feeling down

Recently, I discover a lyric of a song and I thought it is very meaningful. Whenever I am down, I would listen to it and it would lift my spirit. "Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an 'L' on her forehead" "You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow" "Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid And all that glitters is gold" "Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The waters getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire how about yours That's the way I like it and I never get bored" It does help me, I am not sure it would help you but you can give it a try.

I am hardly ever feeling down and if I am that is not a time that I would listen to music, as my "down" time is like a spring rain. I use it to fuel my imagination to bring forth flowers when the sun comes out again. Metaphorically speaking...but I like the lyrics to that song.

How sweet you are! Don't worry, it would not be there long. I bounce back fast! LOL. Yes, I am a control freak to some extent, but not so much with friends as with things and maybe situations. Of course it depends on who the person is.

Hey what are friends for, just remember at the when you think the world is to dark and need some light where there isn't much around. Turn around to look for me.

well drannhh, you seem like someone who is able to control the situation. I guess that is a good thing. I hope nothing ever gets you down, however if anything does my shoulder is for rent. Just kidding for you it would be free.

Very nice. One of the songs I have in my inspirational play-list is called "Keep On Pushin" by Royce Da 5'9 ...He deliver like that stork He bring light to your porch He bring night and he ain't lightin' your torch His king sight just seems like Yao Ming's height He sees over. He don't need to LEAN OVER He don't need to move you to see on He only will do it when he tell you to keep on... "Pushin'" Doin' what you was doin' before "Keep on pushin'" If you know what you doin' it for "Keep on pushin'" If you at peace or you in a war "Keep on pushin'" Just make it through and the world is yours "Keep on pushin' Just make it through and the world is yours "Keep on pushin'" Just make it through and the world is yours "Keep on pushin'" Doin' what you was doin' before "Keep on pushin'" If you know why you doin' it "Keep on pushin'"

I have not heard the music, however the lyrics seem very uplifting, I guess everyone should find their own song that would lift them up from the rut. Cheers.

Hello jillhill, Well I guess particular like the rhythm and this two lines. "You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow" You would not know if you would succeed if you do not try, you would not be a brilliant unless you take the first step.

I used to sing this song a lot when I was younger, I believe the video shows the artist lifting a bus up by himself with kids in it and a person under it.
