Meant to Live
By Switchfoot
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bid for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live
Does this song speak to anyone else? The first time I heard it on the radio and I listened to the words, I felt really convicted...like, I'm not living my life the way I know I'm supposed to be. I could be so much more than I am, but I'm not, because I'm a loser and I constantly turn away from God. I know I've talked about all this before. But going to Europe was kind of a lose-lose situation for me. Maybe thats not the best way to describe it. I know that if I had worked at camp instead, my relationship with God would be 10 times better for it. But I know that if I had gone to camp and not to Europe I would majorly regret it. I just don't know if I followed God's plan for me last summer, and I know its ridiculous to be stressing about it now, because its over and done with and theres nothing I can do to change it. Besides, this summer really was the best time of my life. I had way too much fun.
