Drive - Incubus

Since I joined Facebook, and I started to see older pictures of myself posted by myself and some friends, it made me a little reflective. I have often heard that once you hit 30, most people finally feel comfortable in their own skin. And after looking at these old pictures, and reconnecting with old friends (some of whom I have realized I have known for 25 years!), I think I can safely say I am at the point where I am comfortable in my own skin. I am content. And let me tell ya, I look a heck of a lot better at 30 than I did at 16 (of course there is the matter of the extra pounds, but that is another story). I was driving home and heard the song "Drive" by Incubus on the radio and realized it completely sums up how I am feeling. I am truly ready to take whatever tomorrow brings...


"Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there"
