Our Lives

Finally found the song! heard it on the grammy's ad, and it sounded very familiar, but i didn't know what song it was. but i've got it now!

cause these are the days worth living..

everyday begins anew and brings a new palette to paint on with it. open your eyes and look around, there are possibilities everywhere! of course a layer of grime covers each of us, but let me say this, it is not worth the trouble to be held back by it. the beautiful day is still there for the taking, whether you choose to or not, so why not seize it?

These are the years we're given..
And these are the moments,
These are the times..

time is a precious gift. because it ticks to a finality, and it never stops ticking. it will pass no matter how you are spending it, you cannot put it into a bank for later use. and right now, is the time. so why wait? the sun will not rise differently tomorrow, neither will the waves cease so you can cross the sea. there is no better time than now. if you have a dream to realize, or someone to apologize to, or anything at all, go do it. time ticks off even as you are reading this. if you settle it now, you don't have to carry it for another moment in time.

Let's make the best out of our lives...

you are not a slave. saw this in my ratm cd's cover. you are not a slave. we are all free to walk away from hurt, from disappointment, or even expectation. even if you have done a great wrong, remember the story of the saviour who bled so you could live. if there is something holding you back, push it off. fight it, run away, pray for it to be gone. you do not have to be a slave to anything at all. not to your parent's expectations, or to something you did wrong in the past, or what someone did to you, or to a girl that you like. walk free. it's in a wrong state if it burdens you, and it only shackles you if you let it. cause each of us have been given enough strength to break the chains. you are not a slave.


The Calling - Our lives

Is there love, tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Of a better life
In this world
Divided by fear
We've got to believe that
There's a reason we're here
Yeah, there's a reason we're here...
Oh, yeah...

See the truth, all around
Our faith can be broken
Our hands can be bound
But open our hearts
And fill up the emptiness
With nothing to stop us
Is it not worth the risk?
Yeah, is it not worth the risk?...
No, yeah...

Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...

And even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
Cause these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...

We can't go on
Thinking it's wrong to speak our minds
I've got to let out what's inside...

Is there love, tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Can we get it right?
Yeah, can we get it right?...

Cause these are the days worth living
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...

And even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
Cause these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives...

Oh, yeah, let's make the best out of our lives...
