Cuz every day, the world is made a chance to change,but I feel the same and I wonder why would I wait till I die to come alive I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife -Afterlife by Switchfoot
Storms on the wasteland, Dark clouds on the plains again, We were born into the fight, But I'm not sentimental, This skin and bones is a rental, No one makes it out alive. Until I die I'll sing these songs, on the shores of Babylon, Still looking for a home, In a world where I belong -Where I Belong by Switchfoot
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest, The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time -Plant Life by Owl City
It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all. The opposite of love is indifference -Stubborn Love by The Lumineers
Over the mountains, Over the sea, Here you come running my lover to me, All through the valleys, Through the dark of night,... -Song of Solomon by Jesus Culture
