Bebo

I get a lot of solace and comfort from listening to music. I pay a lot of attention to lyrics and how they relate to my life...it's just something I like to do.

Bebo Norman has been in my CD player a lot this past week. He is awesome. Everyone should listen to Bebo. Here's a few songs that have hit me lately:

Long Way Home

It's a long way home, and the fists have flown
In the silence, there's nowhere left to run
It's the battle of our pending love
In the shadow of another smoking gun

When we dreamed this dream
For the first time, it seemed
We could live this love for a lifetime
You and me
So I will
I will not give up this fight
I will not lay down and die
I will not carry this heart of stone
I may not be your place to run
I may not be your kingdom come
I may stumble through this great unknown
But I will be all that is true
I will not give up on you
I was made to be with you alone

Cause you and me, we're gonna see
The long way home

It's a long way home, and the crying's done
But the sorrow is still wet upon your face
Our colliding hearts sometimes break apart
But now the pieces are gathered up in grace

When we dream this dream
For the last time, we'll see
That we lived this love for a lifetime
Just you and me

I will not lay down and die
I will not carry this heart of stone
Cause I am not your place to run
I am not your kingdom come
And I may stumble thru this great unknown
But I will be all that is true
I will not give up on you
I was made to be with you alone
Cause you and I, we're gonna fly
The long way home

So Afraid

Take my heart, and wring it out

In Your hands and watch it all collapse

Take Your Love, and drive it in

Into my soul, and never leave again

Cuz I am so afraid

That I’ll find myself alone

Looking for a savior, looking for a home

So don’t leave me here alone

Don’t leave me here alone

All Your hope, and all my pride

All this time to watch it all collide

When everyone seems to say,“You can work it out”

Under my skin, I’m shaking

And I can’t get out

So don’t leave me here

This is not what You said

It’s all in my head

When I throw my anger at You instead

So don’t give up on me

I want to believe

That You’ll never leave me
