This air feels strange to me
Feeling like a tragedy
I take a deep breath and close my eyes
One last time
One last time
Storms on the wasteland
Dark clouds on the plains again
We were born into the fight
But I'm not sentimental
This skin and bones is a rental
And no one makes it out alive
Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
Feels like we're just waiting, waiting
While our hearts are just breaking, breaking
Feels like we've been fighting against the tide
I wanna see the earth start shaking
I wanna see a generation
Finally waking up inside...
And when I reach the other side
I want to look You in the eye
And know that I've arrived
In a world where I belong...
I still believe we can live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now
Forever...
these words are from the song, "where i belong" by switchfoot.
i have listened to this song so many times since vice verses came out.
it is an incredible song & the words hit me even harder today...
because sometimes things can just shake us up
& a song is the best gift of comfort.
& a song is the best gift of comfort.
And when I reach the other side
ReplyDeleteI want to look You in the eye
And know that I've arrived
In a world where I belong
Gave me the chills. I cannot wait for this day. I lost a dear friend of mine at the beginning of this summer. There was a moment not too long after his passing, that his mother heard this voice in her head say, "Mom, don't worry. I'm here...it's awesome." I am not one to believe that people can talk to us after they are gone, but I believe that God gave her this assurance somehow. It touched my heart.
Thanks for sharing this song. :)
