I won't make the move
you must make the move
If you make the move
I will then approve
If you do not move
we will surely lose

..Hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin..
I never quite understood John Mayer's song, "Waiting on the World to Change". Why must we wait for change? Instead of complaining about how horrible the world is, why don't you get up and do something. The condition of this world is in OUR hands. Go pick up the trash you see on the side of the road. Help someone get back on their feet. Listen when someone talks to you, don't just nod on cue.
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
-James M. Barrie.
Everyone is facing some kind of giant. Some people hide it so well that no one ever notices.
Come Home- OneRepublic
This song never ceases to leave me with chills.

Music was supposed to bring people closer.
And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.

We were made to never fall away..
One of these days the sky's gonna break and everything will escape and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away
One of these days letters are gonna fall from the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know that you're coming back, you're coming back for me
'Cause even though you left me here I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here
The only walls to hold me here
One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon
And we will hear those planes overhead and we won't have to be scared
We won't have to be scared, we won't have to be scared
You're coming back for me
You're coming back for me
You're coming back to me
-"Letters From The Sky" by Civil Twilight
I find this song so chilling, but yet so beautiful. It could be taken as simply a love song for two lovers apart by circumstance. It is very possible that the epic imagery is based off of biblical events such as the end of the world. There are undeniable religious themes in the song, the sky breaking and mountains cast into the sea, along with fear of planes flying overhead strongly suggest apocalyptic themes and the second coming. It reads "we were made to never fall away". One thing to note is that the lyrics not only pertain to the speaker but to us all.
