The rain will fall down replenishing all of our broken dreams
And this burning tree that is withered will bloom again
Would you believe
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
Goodbye
Walk away it's hard to say goodbye
Memories and stories that are told
The more often told the bigger they get
Create a legacy last we forget
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
No longer can I hold onto this defeated change in heart
It's time to sing "fare thee well" to life as we know it
My voice it will be still
Something woke me up in the midst of dream and fantasy
Halfway there but He always fills my cup
And He lifts me up oh how He lifts me up
Walk away it's time to say goodbye
I never took the time to stop and realize that death takes many forms
Even while alive
This song has been popping into my mind over the past few days, and I keep re-listening to it. It is about saying goodbye to your old life, your old self, essentially dying to yourself to follow Christ. When I was younger, I thought this was just a sad song about losing someone or a relationship, but I do not think that is the case here. It is more profound than that.
"I never took the time to stop and realize that death takes many forms even while alive"
Such a great/sad song. The guy sings with such pure emotion.
song means soo much more if you take a look at your life with the song
Almost two years ago, I ended the best friendship I had ever had because I knew that it was only hurting me. This totally applied to my life then, because while I knew things had to be different, I also knew that we always had these great memories, and pictures of us, and stories to tell people, and I knew that we could be friends again. It's a very good song, and it's still very comforting to me.
this is such a melancholy song. but its beautiful. and the lead singer's voice is so haunting.
This song, to me, is more of a religious song.."He always fills my cup And He lifts me up oh how He lifts me up" really gives ya a big clue. he's talking about god. so i guess i'm trying to say this is a pretty sad song! whoever said it was comforting was right, it is. andd.. this is my first post:)
Beautiful....
"I never took the time to stop and realize that death takes many forms even while alive".....what does that line mean?
It means that death is as much a part of life as living and that it is manifoldly active in the aspects of our lives.
I think the line "I never took the time to stop an drealize that death takes many forms even while alive" is talking about the way a christian is to live. It gives the picture of how we are to die to ourselves (or to our sin) and become alive in Christ.
("I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." -- Galations 2:20)
There's plenty of other scriptures that talk about that.
I actually wrote about this song in my xanga a little while ago. Check it out if you want to at: http://www.xanga.com/item.aspx?user=futuremotherofstubbymidgetbaby&tab=weblogs&uid=258260333
