So, I've been reading the book "Irrisistible Revolution" by Shane Claiborne and I want to just say that if you haven't read it to read it because it will really get you thinking about what you believe and how you are living your life as a Christian. Anyway, tonight I was looking online and found this song by the Goo Goo Dolls. Take note, they aren't Christian, but read the lyrics. Read them and it's amazing to think how this Song is pretty much what Shane Claiborne talks about in his book....what amazing Lyrics. At least I think so:
Better Days
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
It's neat to me because so often we label things "Christian" or "Non Christian" and here is a band who a lot of Christian would write off and yet they are writing some very introspective lyrics. Props to them.
Anyway, just thought about posting that.
