Okay, so most know that I LOVE song lyrics... I live for them in fact. I have been in a serious music mode here recently, and I wanted all to read these lyrics, because they are amazing!
No Envy No Fear
Joshua Radin
Some are reaching few are there
Wandering from a heroes chair
Some are scared to fly so high
Well this is how we have to try
Have no envy and no fear
Have no envy... no fear
Brother Brother we all see
You're hiding out so painfully
See yourself come out to play
A lover's rain will wash away
Your envy and your fear
So have no envy.... no fear
When your sister turns to leave
Only when she's most in need
Take away the cause of pain
By showing her we're all the same
Have no envy and no fear
Have no envy... no fear
Everyday we try to find
Search our hearts and our minds
The place we used to call our home
Can't be found when we're alone
So have no envy... no fear
Have no envy... no fear
AMAZING!!!
It spoke to me as I was driving tonight. My best friend is always pushing me to my limits... mainly because she beleives in me, but I don't have that same beleif in myself. I think that so many of us have that same problem. Someone else beleives in us so much and loves us so much that they beleive we can acheive what we don't beleive we can.
Part of that is fear, and part of that is the envy to have what others have. When we start to let these two things go, we could probably stand on that heroes chair and fly so high. However, my favorite line is near the end, when it says "The place we used to call our home, can't be found when we're alone." Home is where the heart is, right? It isn't a physical place, but a place where we feel most comfortable and where our heart is its most content. We often lose our way, but always come back to it. Funny then that we are never alone when we are in that home. So, I guess this is me saying have no envy and no fear. Don't wander from the possibility that you can be a hero, and don't be so afraid to fly...
