Like many posts, it's hard to put this in my own words. In fact, this very song was also my resolution for last year. I'll just add a few songs on the front, wrap it up with new paper, and put this baby back under the tree, then.
(links are to the lyrics. see, I made it easy!)
"The Consumer's Song" by Anti-Flag
"Typical" by Mute Math
"Revolution" by Authority Zero
"Ready and Waiting to Fall" by Mae
Every New Day by Five Iron Frenzy
When I was young,
the furthest streak of light would catch my eye;
and life was new and every new day,
I thought that I could fly.
I believed in what I hoped for--
and I hoped in things unseen.
I had wings and dreams, could soar.
I just don't feel like flying anymore.
When the stars threw down their spears,
watered heaven with their tears,
before words were spoken; before eternity.
Dear Father, I need you.
Your strength my heart to mend.
I want to fly higher,
every new day again.
When I was young,
the furthest I could reach was not so high;
and I thought the world was so much smaller,
feeling I could fly.
Through distant deeps and skies,
beyond infinity, below the face of heaven,
he stoops to create me.
Man versus himself, man versus machine, man versus the world, mankind versus me. The sun must go on, the wisdom I lack, the burdens keep piling up on my back. So hard to breathe, to take the next step-- the mountain is high, I wait in the depths. Yearning for grace and hoping for peace, dear God, increase.
Healing hands of God, have mercy on our unclean hearts once again.
Jesus Christ, light of the world, burning bright within our hearts forever.
Freedom means love without condition, without beginning or an end.
Here's my heart, let it be forever yours-- only you can make every new day seem so new.

how is it that i have only heard the muse song?
more importantly, how is it that the english major grows more and more illiterate with each passing day?
