What If #Cartoons Got Saved? ... Song Lyrics from idle thoughts, by #ChrisRice | @getFANDOM @YourDictionary @TVTropes @PoemOfQuotes @Wikipedia @ParamountPlus

on
A traumatic brain-injury survivor, I go to a yearly retreat with several fellow survivors. At that retreat, we are given a chance to perform at a talent-show. One of my fellow survivors--now departed--performed a lip-sync of a song entitled "Cartoons (What If Cartoons Got Saved?)."

I think he helped inspire me to recover better so that I could go up and do my own performances (many of which I've probably posted about on this blog). I know I probably shouldn't do 'his' song at the same retreat, but I would like to lip-sync in his honor at another yearly/quarterly retreat I go to.
The word “Cartoons” is built on ancient words that mean "strong, heavy Paper, Pasteboard (the |Parchment upon which artists did their preliminary Sketches ... see |Carton, -oon)."

We could get into the theology of it--how 'being saved' is a lot more than 'singing your version of "Hallelujah",' how Beavis & "that other guy" are just as 'saved' as the rest of them, etc.--later ... first I feel like I should learn the lyrics (I know I could just fake my way through (mouthing 'wa-ter-mel-on' over-&-over), but ... I'm from a family of accountants; I feel the need to 'do things right!') ...

I thought I'd already 'done' #Hallelujah, but ... here it is
The word "Hallelujah" is from the Hebrew for "Praise the LORD (Yahweh/Jehovah ... the first element having a primary sense of "to |Trill")."
