The amazingness ...

... of the lyrics by SMAP :) I know I should be working, and I will be in another minute or two but this I had to share first :) That song literally picked me up this morning when I brought Chica to the vet to have surgery on her good eye. Imagine a crisp cold morning, filled with reddish-golden morning light in a sky littered with feathery clouds.

TAKE OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF...
The vision of myself in the mirror
Is laughing with a clear and bright face
The wings on my back is expanding with strength
The moment when I fly away everything will be okay
With happiness in my grasp Fly higher higher
Walking out in the early afternoon
The same usual scenery The accustomed streets
In the park, the shy children
You suddenly regain your former self
That time once more when everyday
You glittered and shone and laughed
But then you grew up and hit a wall
With time, you hid behind the cowardly mask
Confined inside your lonely shell
You have closed your own heart
This cannot be right
I gotta keep my head up baby
Even now it is not too late
To search for a new self in you
To your past weakness SAY GOOD BYE!
Nobody can defeat the one thing
That you find when you close your eyes The ALBUM of your heart
When you find it, It's show time! Flap your feathers!
Your true self now you have regained
In your youth, flying the paper airplanes that you folded
Feebly but freely through the wind that cut its path
Therein lies the key to the future "with just a little bit of courage"
sore sae areba itsu datte tobidaseru
If you just have this you'll always be able to fly out
It does not do to go backwards
Breaking yourself with all of your strength
But at times
You gotta keep your head up baby
Slanted up at 45 degrees
Always walking with your face forward
To tomorrow's us you will SAY HELLO!
Sky high feel the wind blowin'
Dancing in the universe looking for something
We got to keep flyin'
After the night the day comes the sun will still rise once again
Ahead of all the sorrow the happiness is there still
Throw away the worry have faith in yourself
1,2,3 TAKE OFF!
Just got a call from our vet, Chica went through the surgery like a champ and I can go pick her up in a quarter of an hour. Poor little baby - she will be probably totally confused and dazed because of the anaesthesia.
