Chasing Cars

Tired, mellowed, surrounded by news of the destruction of the Christchurch earthquake and the bloodshed in Libya, only weeks from the chaos in Egypt and the destructions of Queensland by the Cyclone Yasi and the big flood, doesn't make your days feel any better. Is there a pattern here? If it's not man-led, then it's mother nature. Ahhh...too 'tepu' nowadays to comment. My favourite Snow-patrol's song convey it all - my 'feeling' of the week.  For awhile I wish everybody could "...lie with me and just forget the world".

But life goes on. As John Lennon sang to his son: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans". For the moment, if prayers is all that I am capable of, then I pray that all those affected by the destruction and chaos out there well and all the assistance they need.  

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told

Before we get to old

Show me a garden that‘s bursting into life

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world
