A Song to Ponder

I was listening to this awesome song the other day ... not sure if any of you out there have ever heard of Linkin' Park. I can imagine you have ...

Nonetheless, it's a new song, called 'Leave Out All the Rest'; and basically, it talks about leaving all the hurt, pain, the bad behind ... forgetting all the 'stuff' that sometimes, we can take with us to the grave ... we resent sometimes the things that have happened in our past, and sometimes, we don't let go until it's to late ... the song simply 'asks' to leave out all of what we can't change, and remember something good ... not only remembering the good in others, but also in ourselves ... it asks to leave out all the rest, and remember what went right ... it's a powerful message, with forgiveness behind every word ...

Everything is Beautiful...

I am a big believer in the power that song lyrics can have...music in general is an escape and I truly am amazed by what musicians out there can create. It's not only the music that comes from their instruments, but their words...many times they inspire...often times, they encourage...

The following are lyrics to a song called 'Everything is Beautiful' by a band called 'Starfield'. The lyrics speak for themselves...


Worn out, wasted
Like a bird with broken wings
Sometimes grace reminds me
I don't get to be the king

But love it washes over
Love it pulls me closer
Love it changes everything

Everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemption calling
And everything is beautiful to me

Sweetly, You release me
From the weight of what I've done
The trigger trips the hammer
But the bullets never come

And love like a landslide
Like the wind
Spins around me pulls me in
At it's unveiling, I begin
