#SaturdaySongs - I Dare You

I am sharing a song if it...

> Spoke to what is going on in the world today...

> Moved me (for some reason or another)...

> Is a treasure that I just want to share...

> Is just something that I like to listen to... 

NOTE: I am not receiving any compensation for spotlighting these songs. I did not write them, sing them or own them... I am just sharing with others who may love music too. 

First up: "I Dare You" 

Performed by Kelly Clarkson

Written by Ben West, Jeff Gitelman, Jesse Shatkin, Laura Veltz, Natalie Hemby

This song is beautiful in its original form and the lyric video touched me...

Now, get out YouTube and search for it... You will find it in a mega-mix global version (amazing), an ASL version (touching), different language versions (impressive)... and I'm hoping soon - a virtual acapella version (that Kelly doesn't even sing in) that Kelly posted a snippet on Instragram...

Lyrics:

There's a wolf that preys on a world

That strays so far from the Garden (oh)

And just like your own

Every heart you know seems cold and hardened (oh)

You may not have the stage, but you still have a voice

You may not have the strength, but if you have a choice

I dare you to love

Oh, I dare you to love

Even if you're hurt and you can only see the worst

Even if you think it's not enough

Oh, I dare you to love

We're all full of hope, tryna stay afloat, tryna save one another

People let you drown 'cause they don't know how to stay above water (oh)

When they're too broken to know what they've put you through

Do the only thing that you'd want done to you

Oh, I dare you to love (dare you to love)

Oh, I dare you to love (I dare you to love)

Even if you're hurt and you can only see the worst (oh)

Even if you think it's not enough

Oh, I dare you to love

I dare you to love, oh

You may not have the stage, but you still have a voice

You may not have the strength, but if you have a choice

I dare you to love, even if you can't

No, I dare you to love

Oh, even if you're hurt

And you can only see the worst (even if you only)

Even if you think it's not enough

Oh, I, I dare you

I dare you

 

Oh, I, I dare you to love

Namaste.
