Susan Boyle’s Got Courage

Monday, April 13th, 2009 by Debra Oakland

My friend Chris Cade (Spiritual-Short-Stories.com) just posted an amazing video on Facebook of Susan Boyle.  We have American Idol and the U.K. has Britain’s Got Talent 2009.  I have to say that Susan Boyle’s got courage.  You will get chills watching this.  There is a story to be told here about judging people we know nothing about (not that judging anyone or anything serves us in any way.)  Susan has Big Courage, spark, enthusiasm, humility, humbleness, and some sass.  47 Year old Susan Boyle wows the judges with her performance in the auditions for Britains Got Talent, singing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables.

I was unable to download the video, as it is disabled by request, but please go to the link below to view. The lyrics appear below the video.  I hope you have as much fun watching as I did.  Now go make it a courageous day.

Susan Boyle – Singer – Britains Got Talent 2009

 

I quote from You Tube 

“47 Year old Susan Boyle wows the judges with her performance in the auditions for Britains Got Talent, singing I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables.”  

Here are the Lyrics -Thanks to NewHotdox 

 

“I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high

And life woth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

 

Then I was young and unafraid

And dreams were made and used

And wasted

There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung

No wine untasted.

 

But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

As they turn your dream to shame.

 

And still

I dream he’ll come to me

That we will live the years together

But there are dreams that cannot be

And there are storms

We cannot weather…

 

I had a dream my life would be

So different form this hell I’m living

so different now from what it seemed

Now life has killed

The dream I dreamed. “

Have the Courage to take the First Step

Monday, May 26th, 2008 by Debra Oakland

Have you heard of Britain’s Got Talent, which our American Idol evolved from? This video is of Paul Potts, a mobile phone salesman with a big confidence problem. Amanda (our version of Paula) said “I think we have a little lump of coal that is going to turn into a diamond.” Paul Potts went on to become the winner, all the while working on his confidence. The first step he took was a great sign of Courage we can all learn from, for look what he accomplished in his life. The gift he came here to share with the world could just as easily have been lost, had he not stepped forward.
