Um I fixed it....We Survive

I love music. And when I find a song I esp love I have to track down the lyrics to see if I am really grasping it all, the message behind it. As I was reading one of Summer's blog posts a song called Wildfire came on the background of my blog. How appropriate that this song became the soundtrack to a post reminding me that there is more to life than what has gone wrong. More to life than what seems to be screaming out our insecurities, our failings, and our shortcomings. A post and a song that reminds me that "though I've been crushed, I've been killed I am scared, but God, I will keep on trudging up this crazy hill" and that "we survive." Always surviving.

Now, I just pasted these lyrics off the website so pardon the spelling errors, they aren't mine. But the song is Wildfire by Alissa Moreno and if you want to listen to the song while reading the words just scroll down and select it from the playlist.



every time you think you won't make it
and each time you're convinced
you can't take it
picture me in this light
think of me, you can fight
cause i've been chewed up and spit
i've been big, i've been hit
i've been burned but i have learned

that we survive, we get by
we take the hit and we learn to fight
we collide, but we don't die
trying to put out wildfires

when you get the feeling that's
not in you
and all those times remind you of what you can't do
remember me, i've lost and loved
and i am not giving up

though i've been torn, i've been used
i've been fooled, i've abused
all my rights to living, but i'm alive

'cause we survive, we get by
we take those hits and we learn to fight
we collide, but we don't die
trying to put out wildfires
don't you put out

Wildfires

let them come, i'm going to let them take me
let them burn up everything
that's made me
'til the end, i swear, i'm never going to let them break me

though i've been crushed, i've been killed
i am scared, but god, i will
keep on trudging up this crazy hill

we survive, we get by
we take those hits
and we learn to fight
we collide, but we don't die
trying to put out
don't you put out

when there's no doubt how it's going to turn out
let them burn out,
let them burn out
dont' you out
never put out

Wildfires
