insomniac part two.

i'm still awake.

i was trying to learn how to play "only hope" by switchfoot on the guitar, and i just remembered how meaningful the lyrics are. this song has most likely been played hundreds of times on my computer, but this was probably the second or third time i've actually thought about the lyrics. it's odd, because i usually listen to the lyrics when i listen to music.

there's a song that's inside of my soul
it's the one that i've tried to write over and over again
i'm awake in the infinite cold
but You sing to me over and over again

so i lay my head back down
and i lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
i pray to be only Yours
i know now You're my only hope

sing to me the song of the stars
of Your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
when it feels like my dreams are so far
sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

and i lay my head back down
and i lift my hands and pray to be only Yours
i pray to be only Yours
i know now You're my only hope

i give You my apathy
i'm giving You all of me
i want Your symphony
singing in all that i am
at the top of my lungs i'm giving it back

music, life
