man can this girl sing...
we just got back from seeing carrie underwood in concert in dixon. good show. great voice. there were 12 girls/ladies that went and it was a good time. i definitely don't need to go to a concert at the dixon fairgrounds again (poor seating, no traffic control, smoking near/in the seats).
she did her songs from the album, previewed her new single that hits radios next week and even covered a couple songs (including 'sweet child o' mine'...it actually rocked). sammie has been a carrie fan since day one of auditions the year that she won american idol, so OF COURSE we've heard the album a million times. there is one song on there that i like fairly well...the lyrics kind of struck me tonight (maybe because i'm going to my 20 year high school reunion next week...more on that later) thought i'd share...we can ponder them together :-)
Lessons Learned
There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts, That had some bitter endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo,
Some things, I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter, Life gets that much harder, It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned,
But there were, Lessons learned.
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.
There's mistakes that I have made, Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads, I never should've taken, Been some signs I didn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly, Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend, But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten, You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned.
And all the things that break you, All the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past, Cause it's gone, And you just gotta move on,
Because it's all, Lessons learned.
From every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
From everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
From every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned, Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Lessons learned.
