| Switchfoot – Take My Fire Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"Anytime I'm awakened to the reality that's bigger than myself, I am reminded of a bigger story than just my own strength and weaknesses. The song talks about essentially the fact that the fire has been given to me. The ancient flame has been given to me and it's my job to carry that fire. I think that looks different for all of us. But how do we make sure we're continuing to spark other people and their flame as well?" -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Hope Is The Anthem Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"We live in the tension of infinite dreams trapped inside finite bodies. It's a if death and eternity are fighting within us. And in these postmodern times, we long for the good, the true, the beautiful- but hope is hard to find. Headlines of fear and despair come at us every morning. War, genocide, divorce, racism... It's easy to get discouraged. Or bitter. Or cynical. Maybe you think that you want control. So you hold on tight. Your open hands become fists, squeezing the life out of what you're trying to hold. Choking the very thing that means most. Maybe you want to escape, to run away from the pain. A positive resolution feels impossible, and a part of you begins to die. The part of you that believed in other humans, humans that don't look like you. Yeah, sometimes what you need is what you fight. But there comes a time to stop running away. A time to start healing. Admit there's a problem, that's a start. Acknowledge the wounds within you. Acknowledge the wounds around you." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – If the House Burns Down Tonight Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"A few months back, a fire was raging through our home-town of San Diego. And when an unstoppable fire is barreling down towards your part of town, you realize just how small you are. The smoke blocks out the sun, the ash is falling from the sky, and your lungs begin to burn. So you run through the house and make a quick grab of the stuff you can carry, make sure that your family is safe in the car, and you make your escape. And in that moment of action, you have an epiphany: Compared to the ones you love, what is ownership? What is property? Stuff? Possessions? In moments of life and death, these obsessions are meaningless. Think about what you would save from the fire. What would you fight for? Or maybe the real question is who- who would you risk your life for? And what about your things, all of that stuff that you paid so much for? In the crucible of the fire, it becomes crystal clear: you let the rest burn. -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Shake This Feeling Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"We self destruct. We destroy the very thing that we need most. Namely each other. As lovers, as families, as nations, as cultures. Guns are easier to build than bridges. It's easier to lose heart than to heal. But on my best day, I refuse to give in. If I'm gonna fight for anything- it's gonna be fighting for my wife, my brothers, my family, my friends- which often means fighting the fight within. Life is meaningless without relationships. We all need love, we need friendship- We need each other. Yes, but I can't seem to shake this feeling... That we fall apart better than we fall in love. -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Live It Well Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"We were playing shows for the troops stationed over in Japan when we heard the news: there had been a terrorist attack at a rock concert in Paris. My head began to swim; I felt many things at once. I felt devastated for the loss of human life. I felt far from home. I missed my family. I felt a new sense of respect for the soldiers that we were here to play for: stationed here halfway around the world serving their country. I went to my hotel room that night with more questions than answers. I began to think about the incredible, precious gift of life, and how short our time us here. My own days here on the planet are numbered, they're an incredible gift and I want to treat them as such. I thought of our mantra as a band, "life us short, I want to live it well." The sentiment rings truth, but how do you "live it well" when you're hurting? How do you "live it well" in a world full of hatred and violence? So out of a heart-broken place I began to write a verse. "Take this burden from my arms Take the anchors off my lungs Take me broken and make me one Take my silent and make it a song" It's a confession, really. I wanted to bring my these burdens of mine to the Healer of Souls, knowing that I cannot heal myself. And maybe living life well begins with confession. The word confess comes from the Latin, confiteri "to acknowledge." So maybe it's time to fess up. Life's too short to be inauthentic. Let's put down the masks. Let's stop pretending like everything is ok. Confess your questions, you doubts, your weakness, your fears. Confess your inadequacies. Bring your darkness into the light. With this confession comes freedom. Freedom to be authentic. Freedom to embrace the life you've been given. Freedom to live a life of meaning and purpose, even against the backdrop of pain and disappointment, because the one who breathed you into existence loves you. Because the kingdom of the heavens is at hand. Even in my limitations I am content. Why? Because the love of my Maker is unlimited. Life is short, I want to live it well." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – The Day That I Found God Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "There is a rage that burns like a fire inside. Like I'm fighting the fight of my life all on my own. And sometimes the walls are closing in, and the pain takes over, free falling into bitterness- anger cynicism and doubt. Like I'm bound to lose. Like I've already lost. And in these dark moments when I abandon the pretence. I shake my fist at the heavens and say, why? Why this tension? Why this life? Why? And wordless, I hear the answer, "because I love you. Because you mine." And when I let go of the fight for me and mine - I begin to enter into a bigger story. When I come to the end of myself, I find that I'm standing on holy ground. There is a tri-tone near the end of the song, (which a note called a flat 5 or an augmented 4th). It's been called the devil's interval, with rumors, ( however unfounded) that this interval was actually banned by the Catholic Church because it's so unsettling, so mysterious. We felt like this interval would be the perfect musical statement to end a song about The Mystery Himself. The music is meant to be a bit uncomfortable and disturbing. We wanted to echo the lyric of the song- I come face to face with a God who will not be defined when I come to the end of myself, in the broken and uncomfortable places. Who are you God? "Tell them, I am sent you." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Where the Light Shines Through Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"Ironically, this album of light was born from one of the darkest times I've ever been through. But instead of running away from the darkness, I wanted to meet it face to face. So I made a commitment to sit on a rock near the ocean for thirty minutes a day and wrestle with these dark questions. The darkness and I would argue every night. On the same rock, under the same stars: just the darkness and I fighting it out alongside of the uncompromising roar of the Pacific ocean. And somehow, against that backdrop of darkness, light began to break through. These scars of mine began to turn into songs. What are my struggles? What are my fears? Where do I find God? Or more aptly put- where does God find me? Lately, He's been finding me in the dark, sitting on a rock beside the ocean. And through these times in the dark I'm beginning to realize that "living it well" means something bigger than just pretending: pretending that everything is OK, pretending that I have all the answers. That living well begins by acknowledging the wound. After all, the dark wounds of our world are inescapable- the wound is you, it's me, it's humanity. The wound is Afghanistan, it's Palestine, it's the United States. The wound is our broken homes, our broken marriages, our broken hearts. The wound is Golgotha, the wound is the cross. But rather than running away, let's embrace the truth about our broken humanity, and the truth will set us free! Let's not pretend to be well- after all, it's the sick that need a docter. No, we are the wounded. Mortally wounded. Darkly wounded. Do we really believe in a Living God who is our redeemed, strong and loving- capable of healing these wounds? If so, then let's bring our darkness to Him. All of it. Life is short I want to live it well. The wound is WHERE THE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Holy Water Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"It's been a long drought in San Diego. We crave the rain- we long for it. A few weeks ago when I heard rain on the roof- I walked outside just to feel the water on my skin. Everyday on my way to the studio, I drive past fields that bear the scars of California wildfires. Twisted, dead trees on the barren black land. It's the dark side of the moon, it's a different planet- a charred of the drought we're in. The other day as I was driving past this barren earth, I began to think of my inner landscape. How many times does my soul look similar: burned, dead ground- abandoned and longing for rain... I know what it's like to be thirsty- thirsty for more than just water. When your very soul is parched and dry, longing for the heavens to open up. And this rain feels like holy water, it feels like a miracle- washing the world clean, bringing everything to life. A baptism. A second birth. Waking me up, bringing me back from the dead. Musically, this song felt like a homecoming of sorts for us. For Fading West we wanted to create a soundtrack for the film. And with this in mind, Fading West had a very intentional, restricted use of electric guitar. But for this record, we had no limitations. Playing Holy Water for the first time truly felt like we had picked up our guitars again after a few years of dust. It felt as if rock and roll had thrown us a welcome home party." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Healer of Souls Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"We got a letter the other day from a young man who had just lost his father. He said that our music was playing an important role in the healing process. I was so struck by what I read in his letter: "I'm not healed. Far from it. I stand and play under lights because I know that the longer I spend there the less time I spend sitting in the dark. My faith is the only strength I have some days. I'm blessed with a wonderful wife and amazing friends, but some types of darkness can seep in even with love all around you." Confession is a place of strength. Even with all I have to be thankful for, I confess: the darkness can still seep in. This is my attempt to build a rock and roll confession booth. Yeah, I'm a sinner. My heart is fatally flawed. I'm the first to admit it. But I'm not alone. Let's go there. To the Healer of Souls." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Bull In A China Shop Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"When I was in high school, my friend down the street had 2 pairs of boxing gloves. During those summer nights all the neighborhood kids would take turns, fighting each other in the back yard. Things were simpler then: You win some, you lose some. Your get hit, you get back up. You keep your hands up, you move your feet. You bide your time and look for a window of opportunity to land a good shot. Life isn't so simple now. Sometimes it feels like the fight never lets up. Like you don't know where to hit, or what's knocking you down. But these songs can be an incredible pair of gloves, so night after night I use music to fight back. Against apathy. Against depression. Against bitterness, or hatred, or greed. When it feels like all of my doors are blocked music becomes a way to find an opening- "Bring me the music of the revolution, I'm fighting for more than just a dead solution. Maybe good living is the best defense." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – I Won't Let You Go Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"Last year was a really tough year for me. This album (Where The Light Shines Through) was, in many ways, an attempt to find a path towards hope, armed with the flashlight of melody and lyric. "I Won't Let You Go" is a song that faces the darkness head on. I tried to sing this one from the other side- from the inside of love, from the conclusion of the story. If the author of time and space, the one who breathed my soul into existence, were to sing me a song about trust, it might go something like this, "I love you and I won't let you go." I believe that where you put your trust begins to define you. This is a song about learning to trust in a transcendent love that will never leave me. You want peace but there's war in your head. Maybe that's where life is born. When are facades are torn. Pain gives birth to the promise ahead." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – When We Come Alive Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"For me, the verses enunciate the darkness where the fire shines brightest. And the chorus reminds me that we have this spark, this ability, this beauty- when and only when we come alive. Truly alive. Not just breathing, but burning brightly, setting the world on fire with a light that is not our own. Tim and I wrote the chorus with our friend Drew up at his place. We listened back a few days later and knew that we had a good concept, but the verse wasn't quite right. We wrote several more verse ideas, but none of them were quite right. Then Tim had the idea of stealing a verse that we had written a few months ago from a song that wasn't on our list for the record. It was a perfect fit. The few times that we've had the privilege of playing this song live have been amazing. Appropriately, this song comes alive when we're singing it with a crowd of folks singing it back. It begins to feel like some sort of modern day hymn- I'm excited to play this one for years to come." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Who We Are Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"As a band, our identity is forged by what we've endured together, the highs and the lows of the past eight albums together. This is a song that we wrote looking back at our story: a band of brothers- sleeping in vans, armed only with words, melodies, and ambition, trying to conquer the world together. '1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." The odd count in was to introduce the brotherhood of the five of us. The inspiration for this song began in the bridge- "They said it's complicated, they said we'd never make it this far." These words and this melody came to me out of the blue and became the skeleton for the rest of the tune. Over the course of 2013, we were completing an album and a movie, both titled "Fading West." Musically, our goals for the record were to match the exotic landscapes captured in the film with our instrumentation. To do this, we tried to rethink our use of traditional rock instruments or abandon them altogether. The verses of "Who We Are" are a great example of that line if thought. Instead of finding our guitar inspiration in the traditional western sources of Led Zep. Or The Beatles, we looked to Fela Kuti, a Nigerian musician. The vocal layering in the chorus is another example of pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone. The song was pretty much completed, but we still felt like there was something missing. We toyed with changing the melody of the chorus, but it didn't feel quite right. Somehow the lyric wasn't connecting with it- it lacked the youth and spark in the identity that the chorus was singing about. The vocals didn't feel like they belonged with the rest of the track, as if they were not adventurous enough. So we decided to bring the song home, literally. For me, my role in my daughter's life as a father is one of the highest privileges I could ever think of. Who better to sing about our identity than our children? So we brought our kids in to sing in the chorus, and all at once the song felt completed. Like a movie, the song took a trip around the world to finally find its place at home." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Float Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"Float is a song that was inspired by a conversation with a friend of mine named Jeremy Courtney. Jeremy helps kids and families who are victims of Isis and other violent attacks in Iraq. He connects these refugees with doctors and helps them get back on their feet through an organization called "Pre-emptive Love." Jeremy lives in Iraq with his family, so he can better serve the community. Jeremy told me that after a hard day of work, he will put his headphones on and listen to songs that bring him hope, songs that remind him to stay strong and not to give up. He told me that our songs have brought him perspective and encouragement when he desperately needed it. I was driving north next to the Pacific, heading to our studio in San Diego. The night before, Isis had attacked a village near where Jeremy lives. I wanted to send him some encouragement, but I felt like I couldn't find the words. For me, when words fail, music speaks. So I began to sing. I wanted to write a song specifically for Jeremy, something for his headphones at the end of a hard day. I wanted a song that would lift his whole family up. Just a small thing to contribute, yes, but it felt like a honest response to the turmoil that he was living through. I began to picture Jeremy's family halfway around the world- smiling, dancing even! By the time I reached the studio the skeleton of the song was coming to life, with bass, guitar, and drums playing in my head. A few days later, when my brother Tim and I finished the chorus and the bridge I knew we had something special. Someday, I hope to visit Iraq and see first-hand what my friend Jeremy is up to. Till then, I'm gonna think of him every time I sing this song. It's just a song, But then again music can change the world, I know it's changed mine. So let Float be a song of encouragement, to reach higher far above the patterns of this world. I'd like to dedicate this song not just to Jeremy, but to all the freedom fighters out there. To the doctors, the dreamers, the champions of community, the hopeful, the discouraged, let this be a song that reminds you to stay on course. Don't slow down! Stay unique! Don't give up! Resist the urge to become cynical and apathetic! Keep on loving, keep on hoping, and stay faithful to the purpose for which you were created. Away from the crowd's where you realize, the herd's insecure of the free mind, so don't let them tell you what to feel like, you can't bring me down, can't bring me down. It's how we float." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Love Alone Is Worth The Fight Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"For me this title sums up the past 15 years of our time as a band- nothing else is worth the fight, worth the struggle, worth the scars. Nothing else even comes close. Not sex, not drugs, not even rock and roll. From time to time we all come to those difficult moments of struggle- when life becomes a fight. Maybe we are depressed and can't seem to find a way out. Or maybe we're dealing with the loss of someone we love. And maybe in that existential moment we begin to wonder what we're living for, what were aiming for, what we're struggling for. I've been there many times. Times when I question God, myself, and everyone around me. Dark thoughts swim around my head, threatening to take control. I begin to fear that my existence has no purpose, that I'm alone without hope. It's times like these that force me to consider the bigger questions in life. Those are the times when my identity is forged in a deeper awareness of my Creator/re- Creator's love for me. When I am aware of this love- my purpose is clear, my dignity cannot be threatened. My fears seem so small from this unassailable perspective. Yes, there are dark times when I fear the unknown. I fear pain, I fear humiliation, I'm afraid of the unknown within myself. But reacting blindly, driven by our fears leads us to horrible places. Maybe fear is love's true opposite. Racism, genocide religious wars- these are fueled by fear. But perfect love casts out fears. Perfect love brings us to a place of strength where we can accept the people and situation around us rather than fear it or deny it. Love Alone is Worth the fight. It's a purifying reminder. We all need to ask ourselves the big questions- why are you alive? What's your motivation? The applause? The money? The crowd goes away and the money runs out pretty fast. But love is worth the struggle, greater than our fears, embracing those around us. For me, this song encapsulates the story of the film and our story as a band." - Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Ba55 Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"My wife says that surfing is like a form of baptism for me, that my time in the saltwater washes me clean. Often I come back from surfing ready for life in ways that I wasn't before: quicker to laugh, slower to get angry, more eager to help. The ocean puts me in my place- a finite creature humbled by the seemingly infinite expanse of ocean before me. The refining experiences of life are not only found in water. At times it feels like a trial by fire- almost as though the impurities are melted away so that the soul can shine from beneath. The lyrical inspiration for BA55 was that refining fire. The experience will leave you humbled, maybe even broken. But there everything is different on the other side- there's a new found purpose, a deeper understanding of life." -- Jon Foreman |
|
| Switchfoot – Voices Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "Some people like to have the TV or radio on as background noise. It helps them feel less alone. But I don't need the talking heads or the static... There's a constant hum of voices in my head... Fighting to be heard, shaping my future thoughts and actions with their insistent murmur. If the goal is to find clarity, then this song speaks to the fact that clarity is not found in the noise, hustle or striving for it. No. Clarity is found in the silence, not the scream." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Native Tongue Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"As I hold my infant son in the middle of the night and I'm reminded that there is a language much deeper than fear. All of us share so much in common that beneath these layers we have this common language that was given to us by our parents, our step parents, our foster parents, our adopted parents. However imperfect they might have been they spent hours with us, loving us into being and we share a common tongue much deeper than fear, much deeper than doubt. Hatred is not you native tongue. Love is your native tongue." -- Jon Foreman |
|
| Switchfoot – Burn Out Bright Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "One of the two tracks on the record that is a command. Seems like every story I can relate to starts off with a broken heart, broken dreams and bleeding parts. There's a story I know about a man named Israel who wrestled with God. From that day on he walked with a limp. I guess in a lot of ways I don't trust a man who doesn't have a limp. The future is unwritten. Write it well." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – 4:12 Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"Another musical thesis on the subject of materialism. I've heard it said that we are souls and we have bodies. And yet our physical world is always hungry, always thirsty, always watching, always listening. It gets to the point where I begin to believe that all we are and that all of our dreams are nothing more than material. That love and fear and pain and justice are material? It's nonsensical." -- Jon Foreman |
|
| Switchfoot – Let Your Love Be Strong Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "My wife's favorite song. This one means a lot to me. "Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth could be fact and form, that love could be a verb, maybe I'm just a little misinformed." I wrote this one after a long walk in the early morning before the sun came up. I was sitting out by the train tracks halfway between the ocean and the freeway. When everything in your life falls apart you begin to realize what's worth holding on to and who's got a hold on you. Let the world fall apart ... All my life rests upon the love that created every breath I have been given." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Head Over Heels (In This Life) Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"This is an honest love song. Love is not a silk flower- always bright, with artificially whitened teeth and a fake tan. No, love is a fight. Love is what happens when you've been hurt and you want to quit. Love is what happens when you decide not to. Love is not the beginning of the story but the ending. Perhaps the thrirty-minute sitcom has done a disservice to the sheer magnitude of what love is." -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – Faust, Midas, and Myself Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "Two mythologies and the truth. Or more specifically, a man who makes a deal with the devil, a man who has a touch of gold, and my own personal struggles. C. S. Lewis had a lot to say about mythology. On one occasion he said that he writes fantasy to get past the watchful dragons of religion. That's why I write music, because our minds are often so closed that even the truth can't fit in to set us free. This is a story about following the fantasy and seeing where it leads. Sometimes the dreams turn into nightmares... In a million ways, I know firsthand that the taste turns sour very quickly." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Dirty Second Hands Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "The machine. The clock. Our own hands. The dirty second hand of time is always ticking- bringing us and all that we have worked so hard to achieve closer to the grave and the second hand store. On my fight with depression, lust, pride, and boredom I have found that the biggest challenger is often within me. The very machinery that I loathe and have fought so hard to defeat stares back at me from the mirror. This mechanism is always ticking. And in my spiritual life I have found that this is a part of me that has to die everyday if I am to be truly alive." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Amateur Lovers Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "Oh that we knew how to love each other well! Here's a song that elaborates on the title track with another set of social-physics questions. We all need love so badly- it's how we were made. And yet we're so bad at loving one another. It's our attempt to put another matter of grave consequence in the skin of a pop tune." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Circles Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "Here's a tune that had its roots in the past. We actually played a version of this song a few tours ago while we were gearing up for the recording of "Nothing Is Sound." It's an ecclesiastical song about the modern machine. We tracked a previous version of this song while we were tracking Stars. But something about the song was never quite right. When Sean and Sarah Watkins (our friends from Nickel Creek) cane in, the song took on a new life and became something truly special. The end of the song represents one of my favorite moments we've ever had on a CD." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – American Dream Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "I am proud to be an American. Proud of my grandfather who was shot down in world war two. Proud of my some of my best friends who are in the Marines. I believe in a nation that is serving a higher calling than a TV. I have nothing against the material world. I have nothing against consumerism as a social structure. Certainly we are consumers with physical bodies, but if that's all we are we've lost what it means to be human. When success equated with excess the ambition for excess wrecks us. As the top of the mind becomes the bottom line when when success is equated with excess." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Awakening Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "How quickly I am lulled back to sleep! How quickly I forget. In one of my favorite Wilco songs Jeff Tweedy sings, "You know I would die if I could come back new." Perhaps to be truly reborn, death is not optional. Here's a firsthand story about new life, it always starts at the bottom." -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Oh! Gravity. Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"Oh! Gravity is a conversation with a well-know law of physics. The question is this: If in the physical world things naturally move closer together, why are we falling apart? War and rumors of war, divorce, hatred, violence, and everything else on the evening news seems to contradict gravity. This is a happy-clappy tune about a grave matter: "Sons of my enemies, why can't we seem to keep it together?" -- Jon Foreman |

| Switchfoot – All I Need Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| "Not every day is filled with hope. On my darker days, I read about the latest atrocity and I have a hard time believing in goodness. But then I look up at the stars or into my infant sons eyes, and I'm reminded of a much larger story than myself. I'm reminded of how small I am, and how even my own perspective is limited. I laugh out-loud, as a thought comes into my head: What I believe about my Creator (wrong or right) means infinitely less than what my Creator thinks of me. In this perspective, the meaning no longer hangs on the question: 'Do I believe in a God of love?' The question is this: 'Tell me love do you believe in me?'" -- Jon Foreman | |
| Switchfoot – Let It Happen Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"I'm a control freak. I spend most of my time professionally obsessing over details, and changing and rearranging lyrics and the melody. I know what it's like to desire that semblance of control, and want to fix and change I think I bring that into a lot of areas, it might be unwanted and unhelpful." "That song for me, I love the fact that it kicks of the record because it feels like an invetation for the listener to allow this album to sweep over them and to intervene with the eyes of wonder, rather than the eyes of the cynic. I feel like children are really good at letting it happen. There's a trust and a surrender in that process. And for me, late at night I go down to the beach and I sit on this one rock and I pray and meditate and think and I feel like I'm reminded of how small I am." "Wether or not I'm choosing to let it happen, its happening. The universe is happening all around me, the stars, I have no control over their patterns. I can either choose to fight it and brace myself against it or I can embrace the love that I'm being offered. For me, that's what the song us about." "I think there's a parallel with surfing, where you can choose what you do on the face of the wave but you can't change the wave itself. You can choose what you're doing and how you're dancing in the life you've been given, but there's wisdom in knowing that there's things you change and accpeting them." -- Jon Foreman |
