It has been a busy week. Hard to believe we are already at “T” in the #AtoZChallenge2020 and I am a bit late on this one. But here we are. Throughout my musical journey through my extensive Apple Music playlist the majority of songs have been regarding my faith and how it affects my struggles with relapse and recovery. Today, I have chosen something out of that realm because the lyrics are really cool to think about as we wind our way through this pandemic and trying to get our lives back to some normalcy.
I have chosen the winner American Idol’s 2012 season Phillip Phillips song Tell Me A Story.
Lyrics
Tell you a story and it starts with time
Moves to how you live and learn how to die
Another phase in this world that brings deaths to life
So don’t believe in everything you see
Because what you want might not be what you need
Hold your breath jump with me and we’ll survive
‘Cause you are the sun, that leads me to the light
Moves to how you live and learn how to die
Another phase in this world that brings deaths to life
So don’t believe in everything you see
Because what you want might not be what you need
Hold your breath jump with me and we’ll survive
‘Cause you are the sun, that leads me to the light
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what’s behind and scared of what’s in front
Live with what you have now and make the best of what’s to come
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what’s behind and scared of what’s in front
Live with what you have now and make the best of what’s to come
Tell me a story long and true
We aren’t what we say we are what we do
Just pieces of a puzzle to find, where we stand
Just confused so you are the moon, that pulls me through the night
We aren’t what we say we are what we do
Just pieces of a puzzle to find, where we stand
Just confused so you are the moon, that pulls me through the night
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what’s behind and scared of what’s in front
Live with what you have now and make the best of what’s to come
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what’s behind and scared of what’s in front
Live with what you have now and make the best of what’s to come
Live with what you have now and make the best of what’s to come
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what’s behind and scared of what’s in front
Live with what you have now and make the best of what’s to come
Alone is the street where you found me
Scared of what’s behind and scared of what’s in front
Live with what you have now and make the best of what’s to come
So you are the sun that leads me
You are the moon that pulls me
You are the light that leads me
You are the moon that pulls me
You are the moon that pulls me
You are the light that leads me
You are the moon that pulls me
