WALKING THE DARK ROAD

There's nothing else to lose
nothing left to find
There's nothing in the world
That could change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else...

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where I Started
Chasing after you (Hanging By A Moment - Lifehouse)

Don't know what it is? Tired of the games and just looking for the truth! Why do I keep hanging around? Maybe a part of me refuses to believe the signs that are there. Sometimes we are just blinded by the idea and are not able to see reality. The simple things give one the confidence to go keep going, yet the simple things never came. That in itself should have been the biggest sign. Yet the couple of calls and the few words that were spoken kept us there! But then I find myself walking this road. Where was I going? Was hoping to meet in the middle. But having arrived there, I find myself alone. I wait a little longer hoping for the moment to come then looking up and seeing the light begin to dim. I start to walk past the middle thinking that maybe you may be close. Yet I still see no sign. What could have happened? Ponder if I should wait a little longer, yet at the same time I think how much more time? Its getting dark and I should head back, yet I can't bear the thoughts of walking the dark road alone.

Found this great write on this song...

The moments that make up our lives are often filled with precious transcendence, but only when we let go long enough to be suspended in the moment. Maybe that’s one of our biggest problems. It’s so rare that we stop long enough to contemplate just what is going on in our lives. To do this you have to surrender your agenda, at least long enough to be open to a sometimes frightening or overwhelming unknown.Lifehouse captures this elusive suspension of time in their powerful “Hanging By a Moment”. In the course of a short power-pop rock song they take us through doubt, fear, surrender, change and faith – no small accomplishment. You appreciate the image of “falling more in love with you” that the band is singing about. You can take the song as yet another expression of heartfelt affection between two people, but I think it’s evident that the song is about the mysterious divine relationship so many of us hunger after. When we struggle to make the connection it often falls flat. Instead, we are invited to let go of our self-centeredness, admit that we are incomplete and incapable by ourselves of finding the real meaning in life and just be in a moment. The song brings up some pretty important things to get to this “hanging moment”. It helps when we are “desperate for changing” and “starving for truth”. We must be willing to chase after something we don’t understand, only knowing that when we admit we can’t do it all then we’ll go running to the One who invites us “to take all of me”.
