"Underdog"
Since I've gotten my iPod, and have been at college with a virtually limitless music supply, plus really good speakers, i'm wondering how i got along without such good music! I've found that there's some really good, and really bad stuff out there. Mostly, i've come to hate listening to the same thing over and over (unless it's Jack Johnson...he's really good). I feel that music allows me to express myself better than my own words can sometimes - also sometimes i don't have the guts to say what i want, but a choice lyric or two will do the trick. So here it is, my lyric of the day:
"Underdog" by Audio Adrenaline -
I am so weak and I’m so tired
It’s hard for me to
Find enough strength to feed the fires
That fuel my ego
And consequently all my pride has all but died
Which leaves me
Down on my knees
Back to the place i
Should have started from
Chorus:
Been beat up
Been broken down
Nowhere but up
When you’re facedown
On the ground
I’m in last place
If I place at all
But there’s hope for this underdog
That’s the way, uh-huh, we like it!
That’s the way, uh-huh, we like it!
You can call me the underdog
I’m in this race to win a prize
The odds against me
The world has plans for my demise
What they don’t see
Is that a winner is not judged by his small size
But by the substitute he picks to run the race
And mine’s already won
-ok, so this might be the whole song. It's an oldie (i've had it since 11th grade or so) but it's a really nice one to keep coming back to. Mostly it reminds me that i really can't make it on my own, even if i think i can, i will always end up on my face. I feel very blessed to have such an awesome Father to fall against, and who will hold me when i'm tiard and sad. Oh, and this is where my screen name came from too. When i say i like christian music - this is what i mean. This stuff gets me so pumped and sets me back against the whole picture. Good stuff.
