= Unwritten-Natasha Bedingfield = I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, __the pen's in my hand__, ending unplanned Staring at the blank page before you __Open up the dirty window __ Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words __unspoken__ __Live your life with arms wide open __ Today is where your book begins <span style="color: #808000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The rest is still unwrittenmedia type="youtube" key="b7k0a5hYnSI" width="425" height="350" align="right"

<span style="color: #808000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Oh, yeah, yeah

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**-<span style="color: #a8a816; font-family: Georgia,serif;">I relate basically this entire song to myself. One line states, <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">"We've been conditioned not to make mistakes,but I can't live that way." <span style="color: #a8a816; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> And this line defines nonconforming. I make mistakes, learn my lesson, and move on to the next day. I put my troubles aside and go into each day with the mindset that it is a new chapter. Too many people let their past affect the present. I don't like to hold grudges or hate people. I let go of the drama and do what I need to do. If I had to pick a section of the song that really got to me, it would be <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> "No one else can speak the words on your lips," <span style="color: #a8a816; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> because no one else can live my life. I can't base my life after others. I worry about myself and continue to create my happiness by doing all the things that make me happy. **
 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">-The whole theme of the song is how you create your life the way you want it and you make the decisions. "The pen's in my hand" illustrates the theme. "Open up the dirty window" symbolizes letting the ugly things of the past be put behind you. By opening the new window, you are letting the fresh air, the realm to joyful opportunities, into your life. The whole song emphasizes on letting nothing stop you from living your life to the fullest. Wake up everyday and "Live your life with arms wide open." You should be able to take chances and risks. Don't let anything or anyone hold you back. **
 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">- <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">I couldn't really figure out the rhyme scheme. I know that certain words like "unspoken" and "open" in the chorus rhyme. It just has a catchy beat. **
