What I Listen to on the Tough Days....

I don't adhere to any particular religion and I'm still bitter and frustrated with all the dogma in the world... but when it comes down to it, I know there's something more. I know we're not alone. I know it's not really about all the little things that seem to matter SOOOO much from day to day but are meaningless in the big picture. This song reminds me of that... it says it all for me. You can see Tyrone singing it here and it'll be on his new album that comes out in January.

"More" - Tyrone Wells

Sometimes I get so tired just trying to find a place to lay my head
I look up to the sky
I feel the warmest light comfort me.

I've seen the great heights reminding me I'm alive.
I don't want to die.
I don't want to waste another day or night.
I know there's something more than what we're living for.
I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shore...
I know there's something.

I think we're all afraid that we might be alone down here.
We all want to have some faith.
At least that's true in my case... to just believe.

I've seen the great heights reminding me I'm alive.
I don't want to die.
I don't want to waste another day or night.
I know there's something more than what we're living for.
I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shore...
I know there's something.

This world could crumble into the ocean.
This could all end tonight.
I undermine You, then try to find You - my only Source of light.

I'm breathing out...
and breathing...

I am alive!
I don't want to die.
I don't want to waste another day or night.
I know there's something more than what we're living for.
I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shore.

I know that I'm alive.
I don't want to die.
I don't waste another day or night.
I know there's something more than what we're living for.
I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shore.
I know there's something more.

I love this one, too...

"Somewhere Down the Road" - Amy Grant

Somewhere down the road, there'll be answers to the questions,
Somewhere down the road, though you cannot see it now,
Somewhere down the road you will find mighty arms reaching for you.
They will hold the answers at the end of the road.

It reminds me of a friend's favorite quote: "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end." Thanks, Kristi...

Okay... here's one more... another good one from Tyrone Wells. I'm realizing that the more I listen for inspiration, the more inspiration I hear!

"In Between the Lines" - Tyrone Wells

We're trying to rescue the meaning,
to do more than just survive.
We're dying to capture the feeling,
if only for tonight.

In between the lines and the boulevards,
underneath the sky chasing who we are,
wanting more before it slips away.
Screaming to the stars just to feel alive,
maybe one more chance and we'll get it right.
I won't believe that all these days and all these dreams were only meant to fade.
