Great song. i just discovered this amazing artist on youtube.com..
well all i can say is that i cant wait till this lady can produce her first cd. ill be one of the first to get...

check her out... its worth a try... believe me!!

^^ she already came out with a CD it's on iTunes it called 8 Track or something

yeah but she has a new one coming this month i believe.... order it off her website.
isnt this song about the support she's gotten from her fans on youtube?

yeah. that's how i learned about her.

beautiful songg:)

i think this song is about forbidden love...
wanting to keep it and trying to hold on and begging not to let go but in the end there are too many things weighing the love down and it is lost.

I see the lights are turning and I look outside
The stars are burning through this changing time
{i think these two lines refer to seeing somebody in a new and different light/way than she has before, and as time goes on stars-or little things she loves about this person-are burning bright and drawing attention to them}
It could have been anything we want
It's fine, salvation was just a passing thought
{they could've been together and been what they wanted but being saved-salvation- by eachother was just a passing moment and the thought was quickly looked past because they are 'star-crossed' lovers}
It's only a chance to pave the path we're on
{i think this is sarcastic..like oh dont worry its ONLY a chance to choose where our lives go from here}
And though they say it's possible
To me, I don't see how it's probable
{they say love conquers all but in this situation with all taht's working against them it just isn't a probability}
I see the course we're on spinning farther from what I know
{she knows everything as being one way and solid and this course, this love is leading them, spinning them off course from what they both know from whats safe...}
I'll hold on
Tell me that you won't let go
{she'll hold on tight for the ride and try to keep going but she wants confirmation she's not alone..}

And the truth is such a funny thing
With all these people
Keep on telling me
They know what's best
And what to be frightened of
{everyone is telling her the problems in the relationship-things to be frightened of...they think know what's best for her even though they aren't in the middle of it and it's based solely on stereotypical situations}
And all the rest are wrong
They know nothing about us
{they may think they know whats best but they are wrong because they don't feel the connection and they arent in the middle of it they know nothing but what they see on the outside}

This could be something beautiful
Combine our love into something wonderful
{there is potential for something amazing}
But times are tough I know
{it is rough dealing with conflicting interests of the mind and the heart..times are tough when your mind tells you somethings wrong but your heart says its right}
And the pull of what we can't give up takes hold
{the pull of safety and security keeps them from really experiencing this love and it takes a hold of them and holds them down...}

anyway that's my interpretation!
input?

This song, when released by her new major record label, will hit it bigger beyond youtube.com I bet. The melody and her voice is wonderful, that's what makes this song what it is.

This song, though most likely meant to be aimed at love, I see it a different way.

I'm in high school, and I can totally see myself singing this to a friend, telling her that [we] are going through a tough time, and though we are, we can make it through. I think that's what drew me to the song most. I hear people telling me [adults] how things I do differently can make everything better. But, through all this crap I'm going through, what I honestly want is for someone to "Say It's Possible". I love this song SO much and can't wait for it's release. Thank you, Terra. Thank you.

So I joined the site just in order to say what this song means.

It's not about forbidden love.

This song is about global warming, completely about global warming. Re-read the lyrics yourself with that in mind and you will see it.

hope that helps.

im 99.9% positive that Terra wrote this with global warming in mind.

thanks, pk

pkpk you are absolutely correct. She played at Live Earth and it was said Al Gore chose her to play this song solely on its meaning about global warming.

i agree so much with those 2 most recent comments. i ve donw exactly the same, i loved the song came to check out the lyrics and soley joined to comment this song. i know that this has already been said but you know. i mean i liked the interpretation but it was like u were looking so far into everything that u completely missed the point. maybe you should stop thinking about love so much?
personally i love this song cos its inspriring it makes u not want to sit in the shadows and watch the world go by, it makes you wanna get out there. although ive never been one for sitting in the shadows, it gets down to the issues with global warming and world leaders and what they inforce and try and make us belive.
anyhu, my comment was absolutely pointlesss :)

Very deep song

Wow, no jokes. After I read the Global Warming comment, I was like wtf?? And I was waiting for someone to slam that comment down. But after the subsequent comments I re-read teh lyrics and what would you know? It is completely an environmental song!

You're def right about reading too deep into songs, LiveLife. People always relate anything they hear to love, which is fine, but we miss so many messages being relayed through music if we keep such a narrow focus. The line that sealed the deal for me was:

"And the pull of what we can't give up takes hold "

It's so true...we could make beautiful changes in the world, but none of us are willing to let go of what we need to to make a difference. Thanks for your comments, guys and gals!

That's what Terra sais on youtube:
A year after 'Say It's Possible' was featured on Youtube, I was fortunate enough to play my song at the Live Earth London concert at Wembley Stadium.

The song was inspired by Al Gore's film, 'An Inconvenient Truth,' so when I saw him at a party in Los Angeles last February, I gathered my courage and introduced myself. I told him the story of how his film had inspired this song which basically changed my life.

I sent him the links to my video and felt lucky just to have met him. I had no idea that I would later be asked to be part of Live Earth. I am grateful for this incredible opportunity and hope that my experience can encourage other people to dream big and expect the unexpected. Nothing is beyond our reach.

with love
