Hello everybody. This post comes to you curtesy of my daughter and The Avengers: Infinity War. We left the movie and she was very upset! I would not categorize it as sad per se, but upset.
Time to pause this writing for the spoilers alert!!!!!!
Not big time spoilers but still: SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
As I was saying, she was more like, “Where’s a ship to take me to Nidavellir so I can get a weapon to help the Avengers fight Thanos” upset! I’m not sure but she might have some Asgardian blood pumping in her veins!
Well, I had no ship to help her on her quest but I did have knowledge. Specifically, I had knowledge of her current favorite song, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”. So, as we were driving home, I told her, “I know what the Avengers need” and played her anthem. She smiled and shook her head. As the song ended she asked me to play it again. Before doing so I told her we should write a special version of the song for The Avengers. She thought that a fine idea but told me to just do it. “And you’re a teacher,” she stated. “So you have to do your homework!” We made a pinky promise over the shards of Mjolnir and the deal was sealed!
So, with all apologies and respect to Steve Perry, Neal Schon, and Jonathan Cain, here’s “Don’t Stop Believin’: Avengers Style”!!
Here’s a link if you want to hear Journey dong it right!!!
“Don’t Stop Believin'”
Updated for Avengers: The Infinity War
Just a billionaire
Livin’ life without a care
With Nick Fury he formed
the Avengers
Just a mad Titan
With a genocidal bend
He seeks power to kill half of
the universe
A doctor with an anger issue
A brave man of years he’s seen a few
They’ll need some help to win the day
The list goes on and on, and on, and on
Heroes gather
Striving to prevent the end
Their powers tested
In the fight
Wizards, soldiers
Taking chances that most would shun
Hoping somehow to bring light.
Natasha has so much skill
Please don’t be too mad at Quill
Can Thor ignite a dying star
Just one more time
Thanos came, to the Earth
T’Challa again proved his worth
Wakanda you will never end
You’ll go on and on and on and on
Banner confused
What happened to my green skin?
Rhodey and Falcon
Take flight
Wanda, Vision
Trying to stop the devastation
Heroes fading from sight
Don’t stop believin’
Spidey has you grievin’
You know that Cap will not quit!
Don’t stop believin’
Spidey has you grievin’
You know that Cap will not quit!
Thanks for reading everybody. If you’ve gotten this far you probably already know this but it’s worth saying. Movies may not be true but they can be real, as real as the struggles we all face everyday. Songs may be over the top, but inspiration should be a part of our personal utility belts as we face our challenges. So, let me say, keep fighting the good fight with all thy might!
See you next time!
