Here are some questions to all college students. Do you live on campus? Are you alone at college? Do you have friends from high school that attend a different college? Do you miss your family and friends? Some of you or maybe most of you will feel that you are lost, on your own, and far from home. If you really feel that way, then Kenny Loggins will tell you, "If you feel you're lost / And on your own / And far from home / You're never alone you know" (https://www.lyricfind.com/).
To start, have you ever watched the Disney movie called the Tigger Movie? If you do, then you will know what I am talking about. How is Tigger in the movie? He feels lost, on his own, and far from home throughout the movie. I am very sure that some of you or maybe all of you are like Tigger at this stage.
Let's say that I have to sing a song and the theme is to sing a song that can alleviate the stress and negativity of college students. That song that I will be talking about will be the song that I will choose for the theme. It is called "Your Heart Will Lead You Home" by Kenny Loggins.
At the beginning of the lyrics, he says, "Sunny days and starry nights and lazy afternoons / You're counting castles in the clouds and humming little tunes / But somehow right before your eyes the sun fades away / Everything is different and everything has changed" (https://www.lyricfind.com/). That's probably some of you or maybe most of you when you just want to enjoy life, but then, you realize that it is time for you to go to college.
However, at college, you feel lost, on your own, and far from home. Kenny Loggins's solution in the song is "just think of your friends / The ones who care / They all will be waiting there / With love to share / And your heart will lead you home" (https://www.lyricfind.com/). Just remember that your friends and family are always in your heart even if you are far away from them. If you think of them, then you will see that you are at home.
Some of you or maybe some of you are thinking that those memories are so far away or you have forgotten them. Well, that is false! Kenny Loggins says, "Funny how a photograph
Can take you back in time / To places and races that you thought you'd left behind / Trying to remind you that you're not the only one / That no-one is an island when all is said and done" (https://www.lyricfind.com/). Pictures keep your memories and they will remind you about them forever! That is when some of you or maybe most of you will get the feels again! For example, I still have a picture of peer leadership! It was taken during the time I went to Camp Bernie with the peer leaders! Even though peer leadership was over, that picture still reminded me that I used to be a peer leader and that those memories were not false at all!
Some of you or maybe most of you are wondering right now, "When will I see my family and friends again?" Kenny Loggins will tell you, "There'll come a day when you're losing your way / And you won't know where you belong / They say that home is where the heart is / So follow your heart and know that you can't go wrong" (https://www.lyricfind.com/). No matter what, keep your family and friends in your heart. No matter what, there will be a day when your loneliness and troubles at college will end so that you can finally reunite with those that you love. As guidance or advice, try this song out and you will know that "your heart will lead you home" (https://www.lyricfind.com/).
