"Suddenly I See"

Tonight I was on the way home from a meeting and listening to my favorite radio station and one of my favorite songs came on the radio. KT Tunstall is an incredible singer and songwriter and the words to this song have struck me before, but tonight I was thinking about my new photography endeavors and the day I created the name for my new inspiration... brightspot. This song is exactly what the name of my inspiration is about. I know this is probably not what she was talking about when she wrote the song, but this song speaks to me about what being a mom has done to me and my entire outlook on life. So, I looked up the lyrics and thought I would share them. If you haven't heard this song before - you must hear it!


"Suddenly I See"

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me


- KT Tunstall
