"just a song for day nine"
Wednesday, November 29, 2006 Filed in: my life
when i was in high school (my jr. and sr. years) i
was kinda a mess. all depressed and whatnot. but then
i got over that and realized that God is in control
if i'll let Him be and that He can do a much better
job of dealing with crap than i can because He can
see the big picture that i can't.
fast forward about 5 years. i think pretty much everyone who knows me knows how much i love U2. in 2000, they put out "All That You Can't Leave Behind" (a fantastic album). one of the songs on there really hit me and i always said i wish i'd had that song back when i was in high school.
this morning, i randomly heard the song for the first time in a while. it's called "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" (long title). it was perfect timing to hear it again.
just so you know... things are getting better. i'm figuring things out that i needed to figure out. things about myself. things about my relationship with Stacy. things about my relationship with God. thanks for your support and your comments. here are the lyrics to the song...
"Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of"
I am not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darlin', look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
You've got to get yourself together
You got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I will not forsake the colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks they left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears and through your eyes i can see
You are such a fool to worry like you do
I know it's tough and you can never get enough
of what you don't really need now... my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh Lord... look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I was unconscious... half asleep
The water was warm till you discovered how deep
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your ways should falter
Along the stoney pass
It's just a moment... this time will pass.
trying to get unstuck...
