(First a note to Austin: I answered your questions on my last post. :) )


Live ~Nichole Nordeman~

Did you come that we might just survive?
Did you come so we could just get by?
Did you walk among us so we might merely limp along beside?

I was bound, I have been set free
But I have settled for apathy
Did you come to make new
And know I'd crawl right back into the skin you found me in?

It's where I am- not where I've been

You make me want to live
You make me want to live
You came to shake us
And to wake us up to something more
Than we'd always settled for
And you make me want to live

We've all been up on the mountain top
A golden glow that's bound to soon wear off
Then it's back to the mundane, telling tales of glory days
When we were hopeful that this change was here to stay

So why would a young man
Live in a waste land
When the castle of his dreams is standing by?
Why would a princess
Put on an old dress
To dance with her beloved and a chance to catch his eye?

Now a fun song (one of my favorites) by Hanson:

Been There Before


There's a downtown corner, people downtown know
And a back beat rhythm on the radio
And the girl who listens
To a young man's song
On the block I live on
In the place I'm from

Well the young man sitting
On the dock of the bay
He took a longterm trip
On a first class plane
Now the whole world listens
To that one man's song
On the block I live on
In the place I'm from

Tell me, does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock & roll

Well the man in black sits
On a screened in porch
Making birthday wishes
Seventy one almost
You can hear him singing
Chariots swing low
On the block I live on
In the place I know

Tell me, does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul
With the roots of rock & roll

Na na na na na I've been there before

When you can't get through it
You can listen to it
