I hope you're living for so much more than this world has to offer.

I saw them in a little record store in San Diego one time...barely enough room to slam dance.

Meant To Live lyrics

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries

 
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open

Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

[Chorus]

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

  2. Good song.
    It's a good cd.
    John Foreman is so talented.

    I wish life weren't so painful...living it, that is.
    I know it won't always be.

  7. Thanks, ElBro.

    I miss posting my photography mostly. I'll be working M-F soon, so it'll be even harder to find time to blog. I guess that's how to keep things in perspective.

    Just fyi...since you were an encourager...my waitress friend has asked me to do her daughter's graduation photos. I'm so excited!!

  8. Way to go Jen. I'm sure she recognized your talent as all of us do.

  9. I don't think so. She hasn't seen anything. She's just my pal. ;-)

    But to you: Thank you.
