Quotes/lyrics for rejections and acceptances

[ssynny]

I got rejected from my top choice school. I thought these lyrics were fitting:

 

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...

 

anyone else??

 

also, I pray someone knows where this is from

[*Jenny*]

I have a four year old daughter...I knew it was "Pocahontas" after the first 5 words

I'm sorry to hear about your rejection.

Hahaha I'm glad you knew! And it's ok. I'll just apply again next time.

I think overall, this song is a good representation of how I felt getting accepted.  Actually, I enjoy listening to this any time I make it through a difficult situation.  But it was especially satisfying after this application season!

 

I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today by Joe Cocker.

There were times I remember
had to fight just to hold my head up
Those times when even my friends
tried to make a fool of me
there were things that my heart attacked
that they just couldn't see

Some said I was hopeless
Tangled in the night
Strong hearts just keep goin'
That is why I'm still standing here today

Come together
raise up your voices
This time my song of love and life won't go away
I'll sing forever
here in the sunshine
I've lived to see the sun break through the storm 
I'm so glad I'm standing here today.

If you're lost in your troubles
And the world just seems to forget you
If you remember sunshine
even on your darkest day
Just follow what your heart says 
And you will find a way

Some said I was hopeless
Tangled in the night
Strong hearts just keep goin'
That is why I'm still standing here today

Come together
raise up your voices
This time my song of life and love, it won't go away
I'll sing forever
here in the sunshine

I've lived to see the sun break through the storm 
I'm so glad I'm standing here today....
I've lived to see the sun break through the dawn
And I'm so glad I'm standing here today.

That was a nice song

Glad you thought so!  It's one that I enjoy very much when it fits the situation at hand.
