Something To Believe In-Aqualung

So maybe I should start a pattern of which days are music, poetry, or just thoughts, but I kind of like spontaneity, so unless I get some votes otherwise, I'll just post what I feel like when I feel like it. Today, I'm gonna share Something To Believe In, by Aqualung. This song is pretty good, and very applicable to me. So listen to it...if you don't like the style, listen to it again. You can learn to like basically any kind of music if you listen to it long enough.



Something To Believe In
You talk too much.
Maybe that's your way
Of breaking up the silence
That fills you up.
But it doesn't sound the same
When no one's really listening

We stumble into our lives:
Reach for a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

Turn out the light
And what are you left with?
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty.
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason.
Just scratching around
For something to believe in:
Something to believe in.

You have too much.
You're spending all your time
Collecting and discovering
It's not enough.
And no matter how you try,
You never find the one you want.

We stumble into our lives:
Without a hand to hold.
And any wonder
We need to find
A certain something, certain.

Turn out the light
And what are you left with?
Open up my hands
And find out they're empty.
Press my face to the ground
I've gotta find a reason.
Still scratching around
For something to believe in:
Something to believe in.

("mumbling" ??)

C'mon, c'mon [repeats til end]

    no, dear...listen to it long enough and it doesn't mean that you'll like it, necessarily...you'll either like it, or just build up a tolerance to it. like me and country music..yay cowtown...uuggghhh. ;-)
