It's not Faith if you use your eyes...

Every so often we hear a song and for some reason it hits home. The other night I was just listening to some CD's that I've have for awhile now and all of a sudden a spark erupted and I was able to make more sense out of what is going on around me. The song I was listening to was "Miracle" by Paramore. If you look at the lyrics they can be applied to life in many different ways.

For me this song hit the aspect of Faith and how I'm living my life at this moment. To often we as humans need to see in order to believe. But if we truly had Faith we wouldn't need to see. Believing would be enough.

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive

So I'm going to start over tonight

Beginning with you and I

When this memory fades

I'm gonna make sure it's replaced

With chances taken

Hope embraced

I hope I told you

I'm not going

cause I've been waiting for a miracle

And I'm not leaving

I won't let you

Let you give up on a miracle

Cause it might save you

We've learned to run from

Anything uncomfortable

We've tied our pain below and no one ever has to know

That inside we're broken

I tried to patch things up again

To cut my tears and kill my fears

But have I told you how I..

I'm not going

Cause I've been waiting for a miracle

And I'm not leaving

I won't let you

Let you give up on a miracle

Cause it might save you

It's not faith if, if you use your eyes

Oh why

Get it right this time (this time)

Let's leave this all behind

Oh why

We'll get it right this time

It's not faith if you're using your eyes

Oh why

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive

So I'm going to start over tonight

Beginning with you and I

I don't want to run from anything uncomfortable

I just want, no

I just need this pain to end right here

I'm not going

Cause I've been waiting for a miracle

And I'm not leaving

I won't let you

Let you give up on a miracle

Cause it might save you

Yeah, it might save you

Oh, it might save you

It's not faith if, if you use your eyes

If you use your eyes

If you use your eyes

For me this song is what I needed to stay on the right track. Life is a team effort without faith, friends, and family we won't survive. We are given second chances for this reason, if we don't have that support system we can now go and find it. I've had my fair share of miracles and the people who wouldn't let me give up became instrumental to who I am today. For whoever is reading this if you are thinking about giving up don't do it. Trust in the unseen to pull you through and know that you aren't alone. I've been there and I'm here for you.
