If you wanna shine your light, you gotta go higher

Ok, I'm just gonna come out and say it, if I ever was to be the debrief leader on a camp, I have just found my debrief song.

My debrief songs have been (in no particular order)
Circle of Life - The Lion King
The Middle -Jimmy Eat World
Defying Gravity - Wicked
Light and Day - The Polyphonic Spree
The Moment of Truth - Survivor
Waiting on the World to Change - John Mayer (which still confuses me)
Get Ready - Live
It's never too late - Michael Franti

As I've said before I like 'I've got Nothing' by the Chart Jackers and 'Here Comes the Sun' by the Beatles. (Let's dance to Joy Division is in the maybe pile because I don't think everyone will appreciate 'everything is going wrong but we're so happy' which is the only line remotley acceptable in the song.)

Now I like this song for a few reasons. One, the obvious, the lyrics of -

"Run a little wild. Dive into the danger.
Don't you think twice.
Standing on the edge of life. Walking on a wire.
Jump in the fire.
Jump in the fire tonight"

"If you wanna shine your light, you gotta go higher.
And jump in the fire.
Jump in the fire tonight."

They're nice and enouraging. Two) it's upbeat and bopy and a little cheesy and all the good things you want at 11 o'clock at night to keep you awake for two minutes longer and motivate you for the next day. Three) It's off a 90s kids TV show and we're looking after kids so it kind of fits.

Until next time,
Katherine
