Theme Song

I'm not really one for favourites, regardless whether it is artists, food or places. I just like to enjoy the life before me without the need for classification. I have however, always wanted to find a song that truly resonates with my being and I think I may just have finally found MY theme song. It's probably no surprise that the song can be found on the new Curious George CD but is was actually written and recorded by Jack Johnson's friend Mr. Ben Harper. On the whole, the CD is great, there are a few "kid-ish" songs, but they are about wonderful things like sharing and recycling, so even those I like.

But I digress, "With My Own Two Hands" is a beautiful song, with a beautiful message. Perhaps if you know me well enough, you will agree that it makes a wonderful theme song.

With My Own Two Hands

I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make it a better place
With my own two hands
Make it a kinder place
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands

I can make peace on earth
With my own two hands
I can clean up the earth
With my own two hands
I can reach out to you
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands

I'm going to make it a brighter place
With my own two hands
I'm going to make it a safer place
With my own two hands
I'm going to help the human race
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands

I can hold you
With my own two hands
I can comfort you
With my own two hands
But you've got to use
Use your own two hands
Use your own
Use your own two hands
Use your own
Use your own two hands
Use your own
Use your own two hands

-Ben Harper

And since you made it this far, why not have a listen...
Bet you can't resist!
