I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', I'm travelin' thru

Do you have a theme song? One for your life? ya know? Even Ally Mc Beal had one. You really should think about getting one for yourself if you don’t already.

I think that a theme song will say / can say / does say a lot about who you are as a person, or in the very least, how you see yourself. My friend Karin, the one who passed away two weeks ago, her theme song was “Mama Mia” - can you believe it? hehe. It makes me smile. It was played full blast after her funeral while we were still at the church.

God that made me cry and smile and still wiping the tears out of my eyes I could not help but burst out laughing.

I’m sure she was sitting up on her cloud laughing back.

Anyhoodle, I digress.

My theme song is a song I love very much. Sang by a woman I love very much. It was also the song voted “best represents wozzel” by a group of my friends back in 2008.

And I want this played at my funeral one day too. I think that it really sums me up. I don’t know why exactly, but it feels right.


Dolly Parton – Traveling Through (I’m so sweet, I even copied the words down for you all to read)


Well I can't tell you where I'm going, I'm not sure of where I've been
But I know I must keep travelin' till my road comes to an end
I'm out here on my journey, trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit

Like a poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home
Where that is no one can tell me, am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' on

Questions I have many, answers but a few
But we're here to learn, the spirit burns, to know the greater truth
We've all been crucified and they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again, you're gonna see a change in me

God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain
Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening, keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru

Oh sometimes the road is rugged, and it's hard to travel on
But holdin' to each other, we don't have to walk alone
When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try
We can make a world of difference, if we want to we can fly

Goodbye little children, goodnight you handsome men
Farewell to all you ladies and to all who knew me when
And I hope I'll see you down the road, you meant more than I knew
As I was travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin'
Drifting like a floating boat and roaming like the wind
Oh give me some direction lord, let me lean on you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru

Like the poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find my own way home
Oh sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', as I'm travelin' thru
