You're meant to shine...

So Bright (Stand Up) - Superchick

you're bored, gotta wonder if there's more
waiting for the dreamlife you thought you had in store
trying to feel something you can chase a life thats thriller
living on the edge drinking, smoking dream killers
coulda been shoulda been woulda been,
what might your life have been
today you're not a has been
but at your life's end
will you have regrets then, have regrets then?
are you ok with today if tomorrow is the end

live today through the future's lens
don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again

[chorus]
stand up, write the soundtrack for your life it doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
stand up, you know you're gonna have to fight, don't wanna lose the will to find your light
stand up, God gave you the gift of life it doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
stand up, do something with your light
you're a light on a hill, you're meant to shine so bright
so bright so bright so bright so bright so bright so bright

we're all scared, gotta wonder what's out there
shooting down the ones who did what we wish we dared
everybody's scared to karaoke in the open
afraid we're not as special as what we might be hoping
so we're frozen, haven't chosen just going through the motions
faith and belief, courage overrule emotions
stand up and be counted for something when it's time
decide where you stand, take your hands raise em high

live today through the future's lens
don't wanna wish you could reset and play it again

[chorus]


Yes! Talk about inspiring!! This song is another of my faves --from long ago, but it's as powerful now as it was then.

I realized something again today.... just how much college, work, guys, life in the 'now' --have chipped and shaped my outlook... my mindset and outlook on life which was once so vivid and alive and 'in focus' --somehow that got blurry along the way and left me utterly turned around. When once I could sense the race... I saw eternity as the goal line... I would trip, get up, dust myself off and keep running... Christ was the focal point of my writing --I wrote for Him... I wrote to worship, adore and proclaim Him. in my mind, life appeared as short as it truly is... I lived in light of that. I wanted to live life to the fullest --run hard. no compromises. This song highlights some of those nuances extraordinarily well... 'to live' is not something passive... it's an active, intentional verb --I wanna live like this... want this focal point, focused mindset and centered heart once again.... oh how much I overlook --this song has refreshed some memories that never should have been forgotten... just absolute greatness.

*listens to it on repeat... sings along*
