The song you sing

I am very good at listening to songs, singing along with ones I like, and leaving it at that. I am very bad at looking at the meaning behind the music, and listening carefully to the lyrics. However, today I listened to "The Song you Sing" by Creed for about the 100th time. It got towards the end and it said "It's the song you sing, it's the life you bring." This made me hit the rewind button to listen to it again. The chorus goes like this...

"Does the song you sing have enough meaning

Inspire us to sing along

Does the song you sing keep echoing

Inspire us to sing the song you sing"

This meant something to me. It made me think about my life and made me wonder if I am doing enough to make my life mean something. Am I giving it everything I've got? Am I living the way I should? Do I treat people right? Do I treat myself right?

I know I don't do everything exactly the way I should, and I want to make extra effort to focus on the meaning and purpose of my life. I guess you could call it a late New Year's Resolution. I have no specific goal, except to take extra effort to be a better person...a better Christian, a better son, a better brother, a better Uncle, a better boyfriend, a better friend, a better co-worker.

"Woke up and had a face-to-face

Guess my reflection had a lot to say"

That is the very beginning of the song. I guess that is what happened to me in the car today while listening to that song.
