Hi all, don’t forget to stop by Helen’s blog, This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time to join in the fun or check out all of the other song picks for today! I know I just included this in my “Top 12 Things I Learned From Watching Deadpool 2” post last week, but the song is too fitting for today’s theme, so I had to share it again.
This week’s theme is: Soul
Everyone knows who Celine Dion is and this song is no less of an inspirational masterpiece than the rest of her tracks – BUT, for those who don’t already know, it is the theme song for Deadpool 2 – which is why the video is both beautifully moving and quite humorous. It’s a good combination to kick off your Sunday, right? 😀 (p.s. you won’t understand the high heels unless you’ve seen the movie, but trust me, it’s funny.) Enjoy!
What’s left to say?
These prayers aren’t working anymore
Every word shot down in flames
What’s left to do with these broken pieces on the floor?
I’m losing my voice calling on you
‘Cause I’ve been shaking
I’ve been bending backwards till I’m broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke
Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?
Can you use these tears to put out the fires in my soul?
‘Cause I need you here, woah
‘Cause I’ve been shaking
I’ve been bending backwards till I’m broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke
Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?
Can beauty come out of ashes?

Celine has such a beautiful voice, but I just can’t watch her sing. She makes the craziest hand gestures… I laughed for that reason because I haven’t seen Dead Pool. Everyone tells me I should. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!. The song really is beautiful.

Thanks, Helen, I’m glad you liked it and yes, if you have a healthy sense of humor and can catch pop-culture references I think you should watch it! Have you seen the first one yet?

I haven’t. I’m behind the times. Lol. I’m not really into the superhero movies, but I’m told these are different. I’m still planning to watch them both. 😊
