TL project :- Songs that inspired me/the project pt 3

G'day peeps..

Here is part 3 of special TL project article series..

Today, let's say, will be a song that rocks my inspiration..

Switchfoot - Meant to Live

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

This is the song, i think, that push Switchfoot into the limelight. And obviously that is the headline of my blog as well..

I first heard it and i thought it is one awesome rocking song. Then few months later, i heard it was attached to the soundtrack of Spiderman 2...which made me relate to the song ever more. Spiderman 2 is one of the few movies that touched me a lot. In that movie, Peter Parker has to juggle so many responsibilties..from being a good nephew, a good friend, a good boyfriend, a good student and being a superhero at one go. He struggle through that process because he feels sometimes no one understands him even though he does a lot of things..in short, he cares for others more than himself sometimes. That human side of him speaks to me a lot. 

A lot of us tend to juggle many responsibilties and sometimes we feel no one can understand us. We easily get tired and emotionally drained. We run the rat race but actually there is more than what we are living for. Hence, this song indeed inspired me to realize we are meant to live for so much for in this life, not just enjoying the world but there is something more. Things in the world are temporary but let's strive for something that last forever.

Phillipians 3:14 - I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus.

That's all i want to share for this series. Much love.
