My Song




So any of you that know me know that Relienk K is my favorite band in the whole world. I have almost all of their cd's and I listen to them just about every day. Just a few days after we left for Mexico, Relient K was having a concert in Salem and I was totally bummed that I couldn't go. I decided that since I couldn't be with all my friends at the concert, I would listen to all of my Relient K cd's on my ipod that evening. I was listening to Relient K's first cd and I had just got it recently so I hadn't got all of the songs memorized yet. A song came on towards the end of the album and I really liked the lyrics. The lyrics say " It smells so sweet outside today. The sun smiles down, I'm in the shade. I sit and think about all my friends and how good they are. But when today is yesterday, I know that things won't stay the same. But I know that the memories won't go too far. Round and round the world will turn. Lessons taught and lessons learned. Jesus gets through the good and bad times. And lets us know that everything will be just fine. A year's passed since I wrote this song. A lot's gone right and a lot's gone wrong. But I know that Jesus has been there right by my side. And I see the sun still shines. It shines outside and in my life, and I know that everything is gonna be just fine."
This song fits in perfectly with where I am at in my life right now. I love Relient K and I love this song!
This is my song.
