good lyrics.

This spring I found a band on iTunes called Future of Forestry (formerly known as 'something like silas', they have reinvented theirselves as well as their sound). I listened to the previews and bought the cd immediately; I never do that! It's absolutely great. It's creative, mysterious, and authentic as they search for and proclaim what is good and true.

Anywho, I like to post song lyrics, because we too often listen to songs and overlook the lyrics... but a good songwriter's lyrics can be so deep and insightful and really make us think and prompt us to examine them as well as ourselves.

Here are the lyrics to their song, "Open Wide". The chorus is in italics, it really sticks out to me....
___________________________________________
You have walked so deep a canyon
Deep a canyon now
In the end you know that you've been found
You're found
Heaven sure fell hard upon you
Hard upon you now
In the end you know that you've been found
You're found

You belong now
You are free

So open wide the arms you're given
You're too alive to just stand still
Open wide your heart as you breathe in
You're too alive to just stay here

You wondered how your searching heart
Your searching heart would roam
Coming to the place that you'd call home
You're home

You're shaken up
Awaken
You gotta live, you gotta love
