The only way I can describe last night's performance by Anastacia is in the form of a short story. Her battle with breast cancer has been an inspiration for millions. Her voice is amazing, her way of being down-to-earth and loving. It was so refreshing to see a superstar behave as she did, to treat others with respect and dance in the light in the celebration of life. She's got God's magic resting inside.
The Touch of an Angel’s Wing
The angel fluttered her wing against the woman’s face. She stirred, then rolled her cheek into the pillow. Sighing, the angel tried again.
“You will dream big things,” the angel said. The woman’s eyes flipped open for a moment, and then she fell back into the tunnel of darkness.
“You will see much,” the angel persisted. Murmuring in her deep baritone voice, the woman rolled onto her back again.
A light swarmed overhead. In the room there was a slight buzzing sound. It was always there, and if the woman listened hard, she could hear it, too. Tonight she didn’t want to listen. Her heart was heavy. Why had God put this in her path, she wanted to know. It didn’t seem fair. The rest of the world wanted to still hear her voice. Why did she have to suffer so much pain?
The angel rested her arm around the woman’s neck. Whispering softly into her ear, she told the woman all the secrets her life beheld. The woman appeared to hear her, as she lifted her body from the bed. She sat at her bedside table and began to write. And this is what she said:
Anastacia’s Heavy on My Heart
I try to fly away but it's impossible
And every breath I take gives birth to deeper sighs
And for a moment I am weak
So it's hard for me to speak
Even though we're underneath the same blue sky
If I could paint a picture of this melody
It would be a violin without its strings
And the canvas in my mind
Sings the songs I left behind
Like pretty flowers and a sunset
CHORUS:
It's heavy on my heart
I can't make it alone
Heavy on my heart
I can't find my way home
Heavy on my heart
So come and free me
It's so heavy on my heart
I've had my share of pleasure
And I've tasted pain
I never thought that I would touch an angel's wings
There's a journey in my eyes
It's getting hard for me to hide
Like the ocean at the sunrise
CHORUS:
It's heavy on my heart
I can't make it alone
Heavy on my heart
I can't find my way home
Heavy on my heart
So come and free me
It's so heavy on my heart
Love, can you find me in the darkness, and love,
Don't let me down
There's a journey in my eyes
It's getting hard for my to hide
And I never thought I'd touch an angel's wings
Whooo...
(Repeat chorus til end)
