Leave out all the rest – til ettertanke

Vi lever i en tid hvor folk flest blir mer og mer egosentriske. Jakten på det perfekte liv er stadig i fokus. Individet skal realisere seg selv. Det rakkes ned på de som er mindre perfekte enn en selv.

Jeg er ikke perfekt. Ikke vil jeg være det heller. Jeg er bare meg! På godt og vondt. Jeg gjør mine feil, slik som alle andre.

Denne sangen får meg alltid til å tenke. Og jeg synes det er grunn til at den skal vekke ettertanke…

 

«Leave Out All The Rest»

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
‘Cause no one else caredAfter my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I’m done here?

So if you’re asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating
I’ve shared what I’ve made
I’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you’re asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can’t be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
I can’t be who you are
