"More To This Life"
Steven Curtis Chapman
Today I watched in silence as people passed me by,
And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes;
But they all looked back at me as if to say
Life just goes on.
The old familiar story told in different ways,
Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave;
Dream your dreams tomorrow because today
Life must go on.
[Chorus]
But there's more to this life than living and dying,
More than just trying to make it through the day;
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,
And there's more than this life alone can be.
Tonight he lies in silence staring into space,
And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today,
But in the morning light it looks the same;
Life just goes on.
He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work,
And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church;
And somehow he still feels a need to search,
But life just goes on.
[Chorus]
So where do we start to find every part
Of what makes this life complete;
If we turn our eyes to Jesus we'll find
Life's true beginning is there at the cross where He died.
He died to bring us...
[Chorus]
What a great song from a great musician, songwriter and storyteller. This song helped me survived the seminary (some people say Cemetery). The place of books, alien language, formality and spirituality. This song was the only song in my 64mb MP3 player then.
I was in the seminary learning things that was more than my capability. I should say that I was educated way more than my intellect could handle. I was just a kid living in a squatter area in the capital. No hope, just dreams.
