Heart felt Lyrics

I really like the lyrics of the new The Almost single: No I don't

In my opinion I believe that Aaron Gillespie has earned the respect of many other musicians and of fans for his humility and his depth.  His outlook on life and his heart felt lyrics really inspire and encourage me.

Check out these lyrics:

I'm looking for some stable ground
Some kinda place to lay it down
And settle for a while
I'm sick of looking for a star
I won't show anyone my scars
Can you help me out?
I wanna see a change in me

When it's time for another round
I get in then, I bow out
I'm kinda freaky that way
I used to stand as tall as I could
I used to be better than good
I guess I've made my bed
I wanna see a change in me

No, I won't listen when they tell me
They think I won't
Come back around
Find my way out
It's none of their business!
It's none of their business!

I've got another song in me
Because of you, I'm changing
I'm learning how to wait
Ugly as I could've been
Down and out and all broken

You never made me wait
You saw me
You didn't see my shame

No, I don't listen when they tell me
They think I won't
Come back around
Find my way out
It's none of their business!
It's none of their business!


I'm free because you said
And I'm learning to grow
Because you held my hand
I'm free because you said
Go, keep walking

No, I don't listen when they tell me
They think I won't
Come back around
Find my way out
It's none of their business!
It's none of their business!

Little graces in little places

I went to London last night to hang out with some good friends.
At the station I went to the ticket machine to collect my tickets for the journey.

The machine prints out 4 tickets (2 per journey) and a receipt of collection ticket.

It was rather windy yesterday.

As I pull out the tickets from the machine a gust of wind blows the tickets out of my hand...
And one of the tickets blows onto the tracks.  I wouldn't have been able to get it.

I look at the remaning for tickets in my hand.  The only one that I did not have was the "receipt of collection" ticket which is not necessary for any of the train journeys.

I whispered a little prayer of thanks to God.
Little graces in little places.
