Make Some Noise

Pop stars come and go all the time. Many of them make their money with their one hit wonders and then they're careers are over. Many of them go beyond just one hit and become such huge stars they can't handle the pressure and their lives spiral downward fast.
I've heard a lot of parents while in support of Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) they are at the same time concerned that she will be "just another Britany Spears."
Des and I took Ainsley to a production of "If You Give A Pig A Party" at the Children's Theater. Hilarious. She pretty much laughed the whole show.
She stayed the night with us last night and we brought her back home this afternoon.
She got a new CD for her birthday courtesy of Aunt Jennifer, so we were listening to Hannah Montana every moment we were near a CD player.
There's a song Miley Cyrus sings called "Make Some Noise" and honestly it is an incredible song. It was amazing to listen to little 6 year old Ainsley sing at the top of her voice "don't let any one tell you that you're not strong enough. There's nothing wrong with just being yourself that's more than enough. So come on speak your mind, raise your voice. Make some noise."
If there was ever any doubt in parents minds that letting their kids listen to Hannah Montana is a sketchy thing, I think she is singing some pretty powerful words into the hearts of the soon to be noise makers of the world.
I'm sold.

"Make Some Noise"

It's easy to feel like
You're all alone
To feel like nobody knows
The great that you are
The good that's inside you
Is trying so hard to break through

Maybe it's your time to lift off and fly
You won't know if you never try
I will be there with you all of the way
You'll be fine

[Chorus]
Don't let anyone
Tell you that you're not strong enough
Don't give up
There's nothing wrong with just being yourself
That's more than enough
So come on and raise your voice
speak your mind and make some noise
And sing
Hey, hey
Make some noise
Hey, hey, yeah

You want to be known
You want to be heard
And know you are beautiful
You have so much to give
Some change you wanna live
So shout it out and let it show

You have a diamond inside of your heart
A light that shines bright as the stars
Don't be afraid to be all that you are
You'll be fine

[Chorus]
Don't let anyone
Tell you that you're not strong enough
Don't give up
There's nothing wrong with just being yourself
That's more than enough
So come on and raise your voice
speak your mind and make some noise
And sing
Hey, hey
Make some noise
Hey, hey, yeah

[Bridge]
You can't just sit back and watch the world change
What matters is what you've got to say
There's no one else who can stand in your place
So come on it's never too late

Maybe it's your time to lift off and fly
You won't know if you never try

[Chorus]
Don't let anyone
Tell you that you're not strong enough
Don't give up
There's nothing wrong with just being yourself
That's more than enough
So come on and raise your voice
speak your mind and make some noise
And sing
Hey, hey
Make some noise
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey
(Make some noise)
speak your mind and make some noise
And sing hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Make some noise
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Make some noise
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Make some noise
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
Make some noise
