stars

so, i decided that on fridays, in addition to anything else i may post, i'm gunna try to post a song, video, and lyrics of said song. it'll just be a song that's on my mind and heart, and perhaps one that you might not of heard.

i think quite a few people may know this one...it's stars by david crowder band. this is one of my favorite bands (thanks katy)...if you know them, you know why. if you don't, check 'em out. david crowder has a sincere, honest and humble quality about him that really seems to strike a place in my heart...plus his music is really good!

when i hear this song i think of all the beauty that's around us, and how often i get caught up in the hussle of the day and forget to look around and enjoy the beauty. it's almost like david crowder is telling all of us to slow down, look around and give thanks for all we have...the stars, the moon, the sun, the rain. and more than that, i think he's saying that we need to tell others about The Light. we all need to shine. then, it'll be alright...



you should see the stars tonight
how they shimmer shine so bright
against the black they look so white
comin down from such a height
to reach me now, reach me now

you should see the moon in the flight
cuttin cross the misty night
softly dancin in sunshine
reflections of this light
reach me now, you reach me now

and how could such a thing
shine its light on me
and make everything beautiful again

and you should feel the sun in the spring
comin out after a rain
suddenly all is green
sunshine on everything
i can feel it now, i feel you now

and how could such a thing
shine its light on me
and make everything beautiful

and you should hear the angels sing
all gathered round their king
more beautiful than you could dream
i've been quietly listening
you can hear 'em now, i hear em now

and how could such a king
shine His light on me
and make everything beautiful
and i wanna shine
i wanna be light
i wanna tell you it'll be alright
and i wanna shine and i wanna fly
just to tell you now
it'll be alright, it'll be alright
it'll be alright.

cus i got nothing of my own to give to you
but this light that shines on me shines on you
and makes everything beautiful, again.
it'll be alright, it'll be alright.
