An Idealist/Healer's (INFP) Lyrics

1.  "Uncommon"  Greg Long and Kristy Starling
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgFkYNtonZc
What if there's something bigger for me out there
Than the comfort of a life on this middle ground
I've played it safe but now I can't help but wonder
If maybe I've been missing out *1

'Cause I look around and see a sea of people
Everybody's moving in the same direction
And I think it's time for me to break away, break away *2

Chorus: I want to finally take the road less traveled
I want to run away from anything typical
I want the world to see the life I'm living
And call it uncommon *3

What if the right thing was harder than the wrong thing
But I did it anyway
Standing strong even when no one else was watching
What if I really lived that way *4

Every heart has its defining moment
This is mine and I'm not gonna miss it

Chorus


I don't care if it makes me look different
I'm never letting go of my conviction
Let the world see the life I'm living
And call it uncommon *2

I'm done with the easy way out
I'm done with the easy way out
Done with the easy way out
With the easy way out

What if I made it to the end of my days here
Only to find that my legacy was nowhere to be found
I don't want to waste another second
Give me the strength to start right now
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now*5

*1 Introspective
*2 Not typically impressed by popularity and Very rare, making up about 1% of the population
*3 Appreciates the uniqueness of themselves and others
*4 There are certain principles that the INFP simply will not budge on. They adhere to these rigidly and stick with them soulfully forever.  Idealistic
*5 Have a need to live up to their high ideals

2. "More Than You'll Ever Know" by Watermark
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsjaOzmZB9g&NR=1 
The recording quality is not great. :(
Something brought you to my mind today
I thought about the funny ways
you make me laugh
And yet I feel like it's ok to cry with you
Something about just being with you
When I leave I feel like I've been with God
and that's the way it ought to be, yeah

Chorus:
Cause you've been more than a friend to me
you fight off my enemies for me
cause you have spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
more than you'll ever know
*1


You had faith
when I had none
You prayed God would bring me a brand new song
When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing
and all the while I've been hoping that I'll
do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me
and that's the way it ought to be, yeah
*2


Chorus

You have carried me
You have taken on a burden
that wasn't your own, yeah
may that blessing return to you
A hundredfold
oh oh yeah, a hundredfold

*1The INFP has a strong need for authentic, real relationships with others that represent ideals and truths of compassion and authenticity.

*2 Strong emotional investments in people and situations           

3. "The 59th Street Bridge Song" (a.k.a. "Feelin' Groovy") by Simon and Garfunkel 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJBhdKrwTOc
This was recorded in 2008.  Wow, I'm--I mean--they're old.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBQxG0Z72qM&feature=related
This is one of the first recordings of the song.   Watch this groovy one.
Slow down, you move too fast;
You got to make the morning last;
Just kickin' down the cobblestones,
Lookin' for fun, and feelin' groovy.
*1


Hello, lamppost, whatcha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me?
Dootin'-doo-doo-doo, feelin' groovy.
Ba da da da da da da, feelin' groovy.
*2


Got no deeds to do, no promises to keep;
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep;
Let the mornin' time drop all its petals on me.
Life, I love you, all is groovy.
*3


*1 Put a subtle and laid-back humorous spin on most things
*2 Playful, imaginative, and fun to be around when comfortable
*3 Often enjoy downtime and the simple things in life
