RIVER

A random fact about me.. I love "River" by Emeli Sande.. it has beautiful words.. and I love how it sounds.. 

Listening to it for dunno how many times in a row.. haha.. 

I put the lyrics here, and hope you'll understand why I love this song.. 

River 

 

If you're looking for the big adventure
and gold is all that's on your mind
If all you want's someone to take your picture
then I won't waste your time.
See, maybe I'm too quiet for you
you probably never noticed me
but if you're too big to follow rivers
how you ever gonna find the sea?

Chorus:
so follow me i'll be your river, river
I'll do the running for you
follow me i'll be your river, river
i'll move the mountains for you
follow me, i'll be your river, river
i'm here to keep you floating
follow me
i'll be your river river. River, river, yeah

If all you want are answers to your questions
And you can't seem to find no love for free
If you're looking for the right direction
Then darling, look for me

See, I can make the load much lighter
I just need you to confide in me
but if you're too proud to follow rivers
how you ever gonna find the sea?

Chorus:
so follow me, i'll be your river, river
I'll do the running for you
follow me, i'll be your river, river
i'll move the mountains for you
follow me. i'll be your river, river
I'm here to keep you floating
follow me i'll be your river, river. River, river, yeah

Wherever you're standing, I will be by your side
through the good, through the bad, i'll never be hard to find
so wherever you're standing I will be by your side
through the good, through the bad, i'll never be hard to find

Chorus:
so follow me, i'll be your river, river
I'll do the running for you
follow me, i'll be your river, river
i'll move the mountains for you
follow me. I'll be your river, river
I'm here to keep you floating
follow me, I'll be your river, river. River, river, yeah

Wherever you're standing, I will be by your side
Through the good, through the bad, I'll never be hard to find

Shadowfeet

Yesterday, a friend reminded me to a song sung by Brooke Fraser.. For months, I’ve been listening to this song in my tiny cubicle at work or in my comfortable warm bed at home..
Its’s a beautiful love song.. The lyrics are strengthen me.. Simple yet powerful..

“SHADOWFEET”
By Brooke Fraser

Walking, stumbling
On these shadow feet
Toward home, a land that I’ve never seen
I am changing
Less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when I began

And I have sensed it all along
Now fast approaching is the day

CHORUS
When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in you, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you

There’s distraction
Buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadows it’s easier to stay
But I’ve heard rumours of true reality
Whispers of a well-lit way

Bridge :
You make all things new

When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in you, still standing
When the fear and accusation under my feet
When time and space are through
I’ll be found in you
