Maybe I'm the only one that does this, but at least once a year, sometimes more often than that, I'll find a theme song. I play it for a pick me up, confidence boost and when I'm at Boy Scout Camp I use it as my introduction music when I speak before the boys at campfire. I am always keeping an ear out for the next one.
It's sort of like that whole theme song schtick on Alley McBeal all those years ago (like 7 or 8 now, I think) when Tracey Ulman made Alley pick a song to hear in her head. Alley picked, "Tell Him," which was totally wrong for her by the way...
Anyway.
So two years ago, at camp, the song was Reba's "I'm gonna take that mountain."
Chorus
I'm gonna take that mountain,
Nothin's gonna slow me down.
Ain't no way around it,
Gonna leave it level with the ground
Ain't just gonna cross it, climb it, fight it...
I'm gonna take that mountain.
Last year it was "Six Foot Town" by Big and Rich
Verse 1
My breaks are on fire, from trying to slow down
I'm always burnin' my tires and my horn is too loud
I catch people staring, looking funny at me
As I step to the window and I toss a TV
Sometimes I get crazy and it makes a big scene
But when I hit 21 I want to stand up and scream
I'm filthy rich with laughter, I'm too big for the room
You know from two stories up a Zenith Makes a big BOOM
Chorus
And it's hard to get around in a six foot town
When you're ten feet tall, every thing is so small
I'm always bumping my head, I'm way to long for the bed
And it's hard to get around in a six foot town.
Bridge
And sometimes I stumble, just because of my size, but hey ya'll that's all right. It's the way God made me and I am what I am and I can't do nothing 'bout that.
This past month I have found a new one. "One Girl Revolution" by Superchick
Chorus
And I'll be everything that I wanna be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am the voice still waiting to be heard
I'll fire the shot, BANG, that you hear 'round the world
And I'm a one girl revolution
I wonder if other people do this and what their theme songs are?

I always have felt like the Chasing Song (Andrew Peterson) was a good theme song for me!
Now and then these feet just take to wandering
Now and then I prop them up at home
Sometimes I think about the consequences
Sometimes I don't
Well, I realize that falling down ain't graceful
But I thank the Lord that falling's full of grace
Sometimes I take my eyes off Jesus
And you know that's all it takes
Well I wish that I could say that at the close of every day
I was happy with the way that I'm behaving
'Cause Job, he chased and answer
The wise men chased the Child
Jacob chased her 14 years and he
Captured Rachel's smile
Moses chased the Promised Land
Joseph chased a dream
David, he chased God's own heart
All I ever seem to chase is me
Well, they say a race can only have one winner
And you know you've got to pull out front to win
God knows the only time I'm winning
Is when I'm chasing Him
Well I wish that I could say that at the close of every day
I was happy with the way that I'm behaving
'Cause Samson chased a woman
and he chased the Philistines
I'm not quite sure what Jonah chased
But I know he caught the sea
Cain, he chased the harvest
While Abel chased the beasts
David, he chased God's own heart
All I ever seem to chase is me
And Jesus chased the moneymen
And he chased his Father's will
He chased my sin to Calvary
And he caught it on that hill
Saul, he chased the Christians
Till his blindness made him see
David, he chased God's own heart
All I ever seem to chase is me
Oh yes! I know that song. It was the one I had four years ago. A friend shared it with me when I first moved to Georgia and another song on that same album, "I've got nothing to say" was the theme song for my trip to England that Winter. Good Choice!
My initial reaction was no, I don't have a theme song. But as I thought about I do.
This is my current theme song. It is one I am trying to live up to.
I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly
I used to think that I could not go on
that life was nothing but an awful song
but now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
but first I know it starts inside of me
if I can see it, then I can do it
if I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe i can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly
Cuz I believe in me
Oh oh oh
If I can see it then I can do it
If I just believe it there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly
Fly......y.......y
oh chasing song, I either love it or hate it depending on the day (grin) ...I guess it depends on how I like the way that I'm behaving ...
I think for me my theme song right now would have to be "Tornado" by Sara Groves ... I'm desperately trying to remember ... I can learn the real meaning of forgiveness ...even when the pain is there.
Tornado by Sara GrovesYou live your life like a tornado. Destruction follows everywhere you go. And you have no plans to stop or slow (oh). I will not let this bitter root grow in me. I will not let you leave that legacy, But it gets so hard when pain is all I see (oh). And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess, And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness. And I tried to remove myself from your path, But I keep on waking up in the aftermath. So I pick up again and say I won't look back (oh). And I will not let this bitter root grow in me. I will not let you leave that legacy, But this constant fight is breaking me (oh). And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess, And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness. And it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones I love; When everything you touch is rubble and dust. And it gets so hard to know how to trust, But I will not let that bitter root grow. I will not let it, no no. But it gets so hard (oh). And every time I find healing you're making a new mess, And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness. And I could move and never send you a forwarding address, Or I could learn the real meaning of forgiveness.
