There are few things that can bring you back to a moment the way that your senses do. To me, pictures, music and aromas do this best. As you know, pictures are most important to us and irreplaceable. Another important one is sound. As I was editing today, iTunes was randomly going through a playlist. It came to this song:
from the album Live Songs and Stories
SHOW THE WAY
You say you see no hope, you say you see no reason
We should dream that the world would ever change
You’re saying love is foolish to believe
‘Cause there’ll always be some crazy with an Army or a Knife
To wake you from your day dream, put the fear back in your life…
Look, if someone wrote a play just to glorify
What’s stronger than hate, would they not arrange the stage
To look as if the hero came too late he’s almost in defeat
It’s looking like the Evil side will win, so on the Edge
Of every seat, from the moment that the whole thing begins
It is…
Chorus:
Love who makes the mortar
And it’s love who stacked these stones
And it’s love who made the stage here
Although it looks like we’re alone
In this scene set in shadows
Like the night is here to stay
There is evil cast around us
But it’s love that wrote the play…
For in this darkness love can show the way
So now the stage is set. Feel you own heart beating
In your chest. This life’s not over yet.
so we get up on our feet and do our best. We play against the
Fear. We play against the reasons not to try
We’re playing for the tears burning in the happy angel’s eyes
This is the song that was our first dance. It’s by David Wilcox. Chris and I spent most of our time dating listening to David’s music. It brings back such memories. We love this song, because it shows how crazy this world is. That we can focus on that or focus on what the foundation is made from. All this while feeling totally wrapped and protected by love. That love is what binds us and shows the way through this world. Be sure to check out his site. Enjoy this song and relive one of our favorite moments with us.
