It was a Beautiful Letdown...
It is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform you guys that Zaye, butifulyletdown, passed away on Tuesday, August 16th, 2011, at 10:46pm. I hope you all will forgive me in my delay in telling you, but she was my best friend... and I had to sit with this and process it for awhile myself before I could share it with any of you. I just want to tell everyone that took the time to post a prayer or message of hope, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I can't express how helpful and comforting those messages were. Just to know that Zaye remained in your hearts and minds throughout her illness helped me on a deeply personal level.
Zaye's favorite song was “The Beautiful Letdown” by Switchfoot. If anyone wants to feel closer to her, please take a moment and listen to that song. I encourage you to ponder the lyrics and know that she is no longer suffering from an illness that took away her entire physical life, leaving her paralyzed from the neck down, blind and with impaired speech. She is now at peace...
It was a beautiful letdown
When I crashed and burneD
When I found myself alone, unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful letdown
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me would never do
In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doub
I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in
Until I found out
That I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
I will carry a cross and a song
Where I don't belong
(I don't belong)
I don't belong
It was a beautiful letdown
When you found me here
Yeah for once in a rare blue moon I see everything clear
I'll be a beautiful letdown
Thats what Ill forever be
And though it may cost my soul, Ill sing for free
Were still chasing our tails and the rising sun
And our dark water planet
Still spins in a race
Where no one wins and no ones one
See I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong
(I don't belong)
I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
I'm gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come
Kingdom come
Your kingdom come
Won't you let me down!
Let my foolish pride forever let me down
Easy living, your not much like your name
Easy dying, hey, you look just about the same
Would you please take me off your list?
Easy living, please, come on and let me down
We are a beautiful letdown, painfully uncool
The church of the dropouts, the losers, the sinners, the failures and the fools
Oh, what a beautiful letdown
Are we salt in the wound?
Let us sing one true tune, yeah
I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
Feels like I don't belong here, yeah
(I don't belong)
I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
Feels like I don't belong here, yeah
(I don't belong)
I don't belong here
(I don't belong)
I don't belong
Would you let me down?
Come on let me down
You always let me down
So glad that I'm let down, yea
Come on and let me down
'Cause I don't belong here
Please, won't you let me down?
