Unwritten

I took an arbit quiz in Facebook - 'What is the theme song of your life?"and I got the result as 'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield.

She happens to be the sister of Daniel Bedingfield (remember the one hit wonder "If you're not the one" from an album called 'Gotta get through this' ?) . I had heard this song of hers earlier that went something like "I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you " continously for like, 2 minutes (which, imho , was pretty moronic)

So I decided to lend a ear to this track. The tune is nothing out of the ordinary (typically pop)
but the words are pretty meaningful, and sung in a way that the words are stressed upon just as well.

Check out the track here.

Here are the lyrics - 

I am unwritten, 
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand 
Ending unplanned 

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words 
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in 
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

Oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words 
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in 
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips 
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
the rest still unwritten

(Gospel)
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words 
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin 
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in 
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten
