♬ Ellie Goulding Like – A Saviour

LYRIC

Sleep with my shadow
Trying to find my faith in tomorrow
Tired of holding on to the memories
How I used to bleed for love (for love)
Got sick of the battle
Gave myself a heart made of metal
Calling out for someone to rescue me
Then you danced into my life

Beautiful visions come to me, and they stay forever and ever
Electric feelings keep me dreaming
I won’t let go, oh-woah, oh-woah

Spinning in your starlight
You got the power to ease my mind
You’re leading me out of the dark
Like a saviour shining in my soul, oh-woah, oh-woah
Like a saviour out of the dark
Like a saviour out of the dark

Shot with your arrow
Suddenly, I feel like I can let go
Of all the insecurities weighing me down
Now I’m ready to drown in you, you

Beautiful visions come to me, and they stay forever and ever
Electric feelings keep me dreaming
I won’t let go, oh-woah, oh-woah

Spinning in your starlight
You got the power to ease my mind
You’re leading me out of the dark
Like a saviour shining in my soul, oh-woah, oh-woah

Spinning in your starlight
You got the power to change my life
You’re leading me out of the dark
Like a saviour (like a saviour) shining in my soul, oh-woah, oh-woah
Like a saviour (like a saviour) out of the dark (out of the dark)
Like a saviour out of the dark (oh, out of the dark)

Oh, spinning in your starlight
You got the power to ease my mind
You’re leading me out of the dark
Like a saviour shining in my soul, oh-woah, oh-woah

Spinning in your starlight
You got the power to change my life
You’re leading me out of the dark (you’re leading me out of the dark)
Like a saviour (like a saviour) shining in my soul, oh-woah, oh-woah

Like a saviour (like a saviour) out of the dark (out of the dark)
Like a saviour (like a saviour) out of the dark (oh, out of the dark)

Six On Saturday: New shoots and dead things — n20gardener

I am still putting my faith in the March surge but a few more things have been added to the ‘possibly dead’ list this week. Fortunately there are some signs of life so the balance is being just about being maintained. It’s been cold overnight with frosts forecast but not materialising. The end could be […]

Grateful Pause (Paws) — One Woman’s Quest

I’ve been a grumpy lionlashing out in pain –punctured shell smartingby an objectionable barb. I am a prideful feline,with a formidable roar –an offensive defenceintended to intimidate. Even so, you ventured nearand in a single act of good,disarmed my furious outrage,calmed this bellowing beast. Like a mouse, you quietly –with understated grace –gestured with such […]

22th February (’23): World Thinking Day

World Thinking Day, formerly Thinking Day, is celebrated annually on 22 February by all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. It is also celebrated by Scout and Guide organizations around the world. It is a day when they think about their “sisters” (and “brothers”) in all the countries of the world, the meaning of Guiding, and its global impact.

Most recently, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts has selected an important international issue as the theme for each year’s World Thinking Day, and selected a focus country from each of their five world regions. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts use these as an opportunity to study and appreciate other countries and cultures, and equally increase awareness and sensitivity on global concerns. Donations are collected for the Thinking Day Fund which supports projects to help Girl Guides and Scouts around the world.

22 February was chosen as it was the birthday of Scouting and Guiding founder Lord Robert Baden-Powell and of Lady Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and World Chief Guide. Other Scouts celebrate it as B.-P. Day or Founders’ Day.


In 1926, at the Fourth Girl Scout International Conference, held at Girl Scouts of the United States’s Camp Edith Macy (presently the Edith Macy Conference Center), the conference delegates highlighted the need for a special international day when Girl Guides and Girl Scouts would think about the worldwide spread of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting, and of all the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world, giving them, their “sisters,” thanks and appreciation.

It was decided by the delegates that this day would be 22 February, the birthday of both Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and Lady Olave Baden-Powell, his wife and the World Chief Guide.

In 1999, at the 30th World Conference, held in Ireland, the name was changed from “Thinking Day” to “World Thinking Day”, to emphasize the global aspect of this special day.

I wish I knew then what I know now
And are we ever gonna get to higher ground
I wish I knew then what I know now
And are we ever gonna get to higher ground

Rear your head and look up at the sun
We’re never leaving
Spread your wings and watch yourself become
Already dreaming

I lean you break, you push I bloom
My conscience shakes when our shadows move
Spread your wings and watch yourself become

We’re never leaving
We’re never leaving

I wish I knew then what I know now
And are we ever gonna get to higher ground
I wish I knew then what I know now
And are we ever gonna get to higher ground

Rear your head and look up at the sun
We’re never leaving
Spread your wings and watch yourself become
Already dreaming

I lean you break, you push I bloom
My conscience shakes when our shadows move
Spread your wings and watch yourself become

We’re never leaving
We’re never leaving
We’re never leaving
We’re never leaving
