It's OK

By: Jane Marczewski

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoNCairOJ_M

I moved to California in the summer time
I changed my name thinking that it would change my mind

I thought that all my problems they would stay behind
I was a stick of dynamite and it was just a matter of time, yeah

Oh dang, oh my, now I can't hide
Said I knew myself but I guess I lied

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

I wrote a hundred pages but I burned them all
(Yeah, I burned them all)
I drove through yellow lights and don't look back at all
I don't look back at all
Yeah, you can call me reckless, I'm a cannonball (uh, I'm a cannonball)
Don't know why I take the tightrope and cry when I fall

Oh dang, oh my, now I can't hide
Said I knew what I wanted but I guess I lied

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Oh-oh-oh-oh, it's alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh, it's alright
Oh-oh-oh-oh, it's alright

Oh-oh-oh-oh, it's alright
To be lost sometimes

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
If you're lost, we're all a little lost and it's alright

Lyrics  

Darlin' you got to let me know Should I stay or should I go? If you say that you are mine I'll be here 'til the end of time So you got to let me know Should I stay or should I go? It's always tease tease tease You're happy when I'm on my knees One day is fine and next is black So if you want me off your back Well come on and let me know Should I stay or should I go? Should I stay or should I go now? Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble And if I stay it will be double So come on and let me know This indecision's buggin' me (esta indecisión me molesta) If you don't want me, set me free (Si no me quieres, librame) Exactly whom I'm supposed to be (Dime! ¿Qué tengo ser?) Don't you know which clothes even fit me? (No sabes que ropas me queda) Come on and let me know (Pero tienes que decir) Should I cool it or should I blow? (¿Me debo ir o quedarme?) Split (Doble! ¿Me frío o lo soplo?) (Esperda) (Rrattarrattarrattaa...) Should I stay or should I go now? (Yo me enfrio o lo soplo) Should I stay or should I go now? (Yo me enfrio o lo soplo) If I go there will be trouble (Si me voy, va a haber peligro) And if I stay it will be double (Si me quedo, es doble) So you gotta let me know (Pero que tienes que decir) Should I cool it or should I blow? (¿Me frío o lo soplo?) Should I stay or should I go now? (¿Me frío o lo soplo?) If I go there will be trouble (Si me voy, va a haber peligro) And if I stay it will be double (Si me quedo, es doble) So you gotta let me know (Pero que tienes que decir) Should I stay or should I go

Lyrics

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be___________
A reason to start over new____________

And the reason is you____________

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's somethin' I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

This is our first public blog posting.

If you log in to the site (the Administrator Login link may be on the very bottom of this page) you will be able to edit it and all of the other existing contents. You will also be able to create a new article, or a new tune and make other changes to the portal site.

As you add and modify articles, songs, album titles and more, you will see how this system changes and also how you can customize it in various ways.

Go ahead, you can't break it.  Jimmy has it all backed up.

Our portal pages are set to display the four most recent articles from the blog category in a column. Then there are links to the next two oldest articles. You can change those numbers by editing the content options settings in the blog tab in your site administrator. There is a link to your site administrator if you are logged in.

If you want to have your blog post broken into two parts, an introduction and then a full length separate page, use the Read More span to insert a break.

Soon, we will be able to feature the albums, music and styles for all our favorite artists... plus we'll be able to feature all of our originals.

Our 12songs web portal system has some commonly used modules already preconfigured by Jimmy. These include:

  • Image (type: Custom), which holds the image beneath the menu. This is a Custom module that you can edit to change the image.

  • Popular Tags (type: Tags - Popular), which will appear if you use tagging on your articles. Enter a tag in the Tags field when editing.

  • Older Posts (type: Articles), which lists out articles by categories.

  • Syndication (type: Syndication Feeds), which allows your readers to read your posts in a news reader.

  • Login Form (type: Login), which allows your users to access restricted areas of the website.

Each of these modules has many options which you can experiment with in the Module Manager in your site Administrator. When you are logged in you can also select the edit icon in the top right corner which will take you to an edit screen for that module. Always be sure to save and close any module you edit.

12songs.dev also includes many other modules that we can incorporate in our portal site as needed. As we develop our site, we may want to add more modules that we can find at the Joomla Extensions Directory.
