7's Featured Music This Week

 The song I chose tonight I actually changed my mind on after searching the first out in youtube.
I try to post songs that have some kind of meaning, and, well, the first one- while an incredible song with some meaning- just felt like it was not right. So I searched again and found a good video of the second song I switched to.
This song is a lot of fun, the video is really cute, and the meaning... well... listen and read for yourself :)

Sawyer Brown- This Thing Called Wanting and Having it All

Rich man grew old on a mansion on top of a hill
Now he's sittin at a table with his lawyer over his will
Cause he's ill
The kids don't call, they're waitin on the man to die
He's gonna leave em all a little something
But they're gonna be real surprised

There's a poor man living on a budget at the bottom of that hill
He's got a wife and two kids and a worried mind
About how he's gonna pay the bills
But, only the rich man knows
See that's where a lot of this money goes-
To a man who brought wood in the winter
To take a little weight off of his shoulders

There's this thing called wanting and having it all
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
But first you'll have to crawl
Oh you know you gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall
Into this well called wanting and having it all

The poor man has everything that the rich man wants
He's got a love in his life and his heart
He's got a house he calls home
The rich man owns everything for miles around
But what he needs can't be bought, it has to be found
His rich kids think that they're better cause they're better off
That's how they grew up thinking and now he thinks that's all his fault
So while there's still time, their daddy that they nickel and dime
Is gonna make em learn to take a turn and stand in line

For this thing called wanting and having it all

If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
But first you'll have to crawl
Oh you know you gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall
Into this well called wanting and having it all

See life's full of changes and wanting right now
What you only see in your dreams
I know you don't like it
And think it's the strangest thing you've ever seen
There ain't nothing you can do about it

See there's this thing called wanting and having it all
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
But first you'll have to crawl
Oh you know you gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall
Into this well called wanting and having
this thing called wanting and having it all
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
But first you'll have to crawl
Oh you know you gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall
Into this well called wanting and having it all

Sawyer Brown formed in 1981, but didn't really find a good niche until around 1990. This particular song is from 1995. If you have time to browse around youtube for Sawyer Brown songs, they're definitely worth listening to. A few of the songs I highly recommend include the original song I was going to share today- Gypsies on Parade  ; as well as The Walk - which I'm likely to feature soon because it's SUCH an incredible song; All These Years  ; Treat Her Right ; and Heart Don't Fall Now (this one is the actual video from 1986ish, so the video quality is pretty bad. Fortunately the audio is good, and ironically it's the only version I can even find on youtube LOL)
