In honor of my goal #3 for 2013 – and my birthday wish fundraiser – here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs – “Ride Like The Wind” by Christopher Cross. It is even more pertinent now, even though I’m not going to Mexico. 😉

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my first two supporters – Emily from Magic City Post and Erika E. Ladies, I can’t thank you enough for kick starting this fundraiser. You both get tons of hugs from me, bike rides galore, something handmade by me, and a link in the sidebar of my blog. If you can think of anything else you might like, just let me know. It’s yours!

And with that, I leave you on this “Blue Monday”. Come on, be honest, was it really that blue? I think not! It was a glorious day to serve in the MLK Day of Service, more of which will be in a post to come.

Ride Like The Wind
by Christopher Cross

It is the night
My body’s weak
I’m on the run
No time to sleep
I’ve got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

And I’ve got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I’ll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind

And I’ve got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I’ll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old

It is the night
My body’s weak
I’m on the run
No time to sleep
I’ve got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

And I’ve got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I’ll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
Share happiness.
