I have a theme song or inspiration song or whatever you want to call it. Does anyone else have one?

Mine is "Beautiful" by Joydrop

Here's the lyrics though without the music it loses some of the punch.

If I was beautiful like you
Oh the things I would do
Those not so blessed would by crying out murder
And Id just laugh and get away with it too
Like you do

If I was beautiful like you
I would never be at fault
Id walk in the rain between the rain drops
Bringing traffic to a halt
But that will never be
That will never never be
Cause Im not beautiful like you
Im beautiful like me
Beautiful like me

If I was beautiful like you
Id be quick to assume
Theyd do anything to please me
I know I see the reaction when you walk into a room
But that will never be
That will never never be
Cause Im not beautiful like you
Im beautiful like me
Beautiful like me
Beautiful, Beautiful like me
Like me, like me

If I was beautiful like you
Id have so many friends
Always fighting for my time to be next in line
So if I hurt one I wouldnt have to make amends
That will never be
That will never never be
Cause Im not beautiful like you
Im not beautiful like you
Im not beautiful like you
Im beautiful like me
Beautiful like me
Beautiful like me
Im beautiful like me
Im beautiful like me

Oh my freaking goodness Ezma you are the coolest chick ever. I can't tell you how many times I have run around singing that sound, especially in highschool. In fact (dork alert) it's on every playlist I make INCLUDING my myspace profile.

That is a freaking awesome theme song.

I have diffrent theme songs for diffrent times of my life.

At this point in my life self inpowerment and proving my own worth has been really really important to me so at the current time in my life here is my theme song.

"Not A Pretty Girl"

I am not a pretty girl
that is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distess
and I don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

I am not an angry girl
but it seems like I've got everyone fooled
every time I say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear
and imagine you're a girl
just trying to finally come clean
knowing full well they'd prefer you
were dirty and smiling

and I am sorry
I am not a maiden fair
and I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

and generally my generation
wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
and generally I agree with them
trouble is you gotta have youself an alternate plan
and I have earned my disillusionment
I have been working all of my life
and I am a patriot
I have been fighting the good fight
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if I knew that and I called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up

I am not a pretty girl
I don't want to be a pretty girl
no I want to be more than a pretty girl

This is for more mellow times...

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

This is fun.

Let me sing to you all my break up theme songs.

For cheaters-

The Offspring - Feelings

Feelings...
Nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my...
Feelings of hate

Imagine...
Beating on your face
Trying to forget my...
Feelings of hate

Feelings
For all my life I’ll feel it
I wish I'd never met you
You'll make me sick again

Chorus
Feelings, whoah! Feelings
whoah! Feelings
Hate on my mind

Feelings!
Feelings like I never liked you
Feelings like I wanna kill you
Live in my heart

Feelings!
Feelings like I wanna deck you
Feelings like I've gotta get you
Out of my life

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings
Hate's in my eyes

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings
You're not very nice

...Go!...

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings
Hate’s on my mind

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings
Get out of my life

Feelings, whoah! Feelings
Whoah! Feelings (slower)
Get out of my life...

for sad break ups.............

Kasey chambers- Falling into you

I've been crushed like paper
I've been washed like rain
I've been scared of sleeping
In case I wake up the same
I've been broken and battered
I've been lost in my home
I've been cryin' a river
I've been cold as a stone
But falling into you
It carries me far enough away
And everything you do
It lightens up my darkness side of day
I just hope that the wind
Doesn't blow you away
I've been left unattended
I've been thrown like a ball
I've been rolled with the punches
And I didn't feel a thing at all
I've been crossed by the wires
I've been blinded by the light
I've been burnt by the fire
I've been kept out of sight

what can I say I used to date alot.

My theme song is "A New Version of Me" and I have it at the beginning of my workout playlists on my iPod. It is the theme song for the last couple of years of Felicity (the TV show a few years back)

Lyrics:
Can you become
Can you become
A new version of you

New wallpaper
New shoe leather
A new way home
I don't remember

New version of you
I need a new version of me

New version of you
I need a new version of me

Mine at the moment is This is Your Life by Switchfoot

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
And today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life
Are you who you want to be?
This is your life
Are you who you want to be?
This is your life
Is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger
And you had everything to lose?

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life
Are you who you want to be?
This is your life
Are you who you want to be?
This is your life
Is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger, and you had everything to lose?

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be?
This is your life are you who you want to be?

This is your life are you who you want to be?
This is your life are you who you want to be?
This is your life is it everything you dreamed that it would be,
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose, Everything to lose.
