As I was watching American Idol tonight one of the girls sang this song. As I was listening to it I thought of all of you.

As hard and painful as this has been and still is for most of us, I think we forget that we the BS'S and the FWS'S who have come back to rebuild their marriages are Hero's. We have fought or are still fighting for what is right and decent in this world.

So this song is dedicated to all of you:

HERO by Mariah Carey

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you



To all of you with love and prayers,

Carnation,

I am humbled by your words. Thank you so much.

I don't feel like much of Hero most days, I am not anyone special just a mom who is trying to take care of her family and make life good again.

I think Mariah Carey has been betrayed...

All of her songs speak to my experience...

I love her...

EMANCIPATION OF MIMI is played in my car every morning....

Mimi,

I love her music as well.....

This song just touched me tonight for some reason.

It's not like I had never heard it before but it spoke to me for some reason. I just heard the words and started crying and realized we are all Hero's inside....... We just have to find the strength to bring it out....

How about this Mariah Carey song? Feel familiar?

BEEN THERE-DONE THAT....

WE BELONG TOGETHER

I didn’t mean it when I said
I didn’t love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should have let you go
I didn’t know nothing,
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn’t have fathomed
I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I’d be sitting
Here beside myself
Guess I didn’t know you
Guess I didn’t know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt


The feeling that I’m feeling
Now that I don’t hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don’t have a choice
Oh what I wouldn’t give
To have you lying by my side
Right here cause baby


When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together


I can’t sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack’s on the radio
Singing to me “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”
Wait a minute this is too deep
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial tryin’ to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
“I Only Think Of You” and it’s breakin’ my heart
I’m tryin’ to keep it together but I’m falling apart


I’m feeling all out of my element
Throwing things, crying tryin’
To figure out where the ****** I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain’t even half of what I’m feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life baby


When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together


When you left I lost a part of me
It’s still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain’t nobody better
Oh baby baby
We belong together


I didn't enjoy Idol that much tonight, did you?

Mimi,

That song says it all..... The feelings of a BS.....

Nope was not to impressed with Idol tonight. Only a couple of the girls I thought were any good at all.... I hope they get better soon....
