Life is beautiful...

Today I was listening to iTunes music. A song I've heard multiple times came on, but this time things stood out to me more than they have in the past. I stopped what I was doing to think for minute. I thought, "Life really is beautiful. There are moments that are hard, moments that are glorious, moments I wouldn't trade for anything, and moments I want to escape. But all of that is life and all of that is what makes it beautiful. Life is full of miracles, big and small, it's a series of miracles. I don't need to understand everything. Life will happen and as long as I keep moving forward I can come to understand better, life."

The song is lovely. Listen to it here. (This is just the song, not a music video or anything.)



Anyways, it made me stop, think, and appreciate who I am, where I am, and what I'm doing. Even though I don't completely understand it all, it is beautiful!


The lyrics are:

Life is beautiful 
We live until we die 

When you run into my arms 
We steal a perfect moment
Let the monsters see you smile 
Let them see you smiling 

Do I hold you too tightly? 
When will the hurt kick in?

Life is beautiful 

But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles 

Yeah, life is beautiful
Our hearts 
They beat and break 

When you run away from harm   

Will you run back into my arms? 
Like you did when you were young
Will you come back to me? 

And I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in

Life is beautiful 
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand 
There are miracles 
Miracles

Stand
Where you are 
We let all these moments 
Pass us by

It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can give 

It's amazing where I'm standing 
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment 
There's a lot that we can give
