Grab a Hold
Embrace Life's Dance: Cyndi Lauper's Musical Revelation
Lyrics
I'm gonna make a confession
I'm going to reveal a personal truth
Gonna hope that you listen
Expressing a desire for your attention
I'm not a story you've read about
I'm not a character from a known story
I'm just what I am
I am simply myself
And when you open your eyes up
When you wake up in the morning
In the morning you rise up
Rising to face the day
Wash yesterday from your face
Cleanse yourself of yesterday's troubles
And make a new plan
Create a new plan for the day
Oh, it's my fascination
Expressing a strong interest
With the anticipation
Excitement about future events
If you wanna grab a hold
Inviting someone to take control or grasp a concept
If you wanna grab a hold
Repetition of the invitation
If you wanna grab a hold
Emphasizing the offer
Let it go
Suggesting to let go of inhibitions
I'm gonna write down a letter
Intention to write a letter
And maybe some day you'll get it
Hoping the recipient understands the message
And you'll know what I meant to say
Desire for reconciliation or understanding
And make it okay
Aiming for resolution
And if you look at my picture
Reference to a personal photo
You know the one on your dresser
Encouraging observation of the image
And if you think that you see a frown
Suspecting a misinterpretation (frown)
Turn me upside down
Suggesting a positive perspective (upside down)
Why don't you use your imagination?
Encouraging creative thinking
Make it what you have to make it
Advising to shape the situation as needed
If you wanna grab a hold
Reiteration of the invitation to take control
If you wanna grab a hold
Repeat emphasis
If you wanna grab a hold
Emphasizing the suggestion to let go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Strong emphasis on releasing constraints
If you wanna grab a hold
Reiteration with a slight variation
Let it go
Specifically urging to let go
You get your grip, I'll hold you up
Offering support and stability
Just reach with your hand
Literally reaching out for assistance
And then use your imagination
Encouraging imaginative thinking
Make it what you have to make it
Advising to shape the situation creatively
Oh, if you wanna grab a hold
Reiteration of the invitation with emphasis
If you wanna grab a hold
Repeat emphasis
If you wanna grab a hold
Continued emphasis on taking control
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Strong emphasis on letting go
Yeah, if you wanna grab a hold
Reiteration with slight variation
If you wanna grab a hold
Repeat emphasis
If you wanna grab a hold
Continued emphasis on taking control
Let it go
Final and strong suggestion to let go
Hey, if you wanna grab a hold
Reiteration with a variation
If you wanna grab a hold
Repeat emphasis
If you wanna grab a hold
Continued emphasis on taking control
Let it go
Final and strong suggestion to let go
