Switchfoot - Love Is the Movement

a day in LA
and millions of faces
are looking for movement
'cause everything's stuck
and everything's frozen
and everyone's broken
and nobody moves
and everyone's scared
that the motion will never come

this is the incompletion
stuck in a line

love is the movement
love is a revolution
this is redemption
we don't have to slow back down

the stars are alive
they dance to the music
of the deepest emotion
and all of the world
is singing in time
as the heavens are caving in
mysterious ways
why god gave his life
to put motion inside my soul

it's bigger than cold religion
it's bigger than life

love is a movement
love is a revolution
this is redemption
we don't have to slow back down

we're starting now
we don't have to slow back down

this is a revolution

love is a movement
love is a revolution
this is redemption
we don't have to slow back down

get up, get up!
love is moving you now.

love is moving me now. this is why that no matter what you do, or how much positive/negative passion you feel... or how -- even knowing your own sense of apathy, your "i-don't-care..." i can still offer love. love moves me to forgive. that won't slow me down.

humbled.

I did ask for it, didn't i?
For me to be humbled by you;
humbled by You.
I got what You had planned for me 'til now;
and even things i've asked for.
like to be humbled.

I have been wrong all the while.
to place the burden of conscience on you.

I believed myself a man -- His man -- before my time.
You brought me to my knees again.
Where I belong.

Make me Your man with a child-like mind.
To stop looking for my own confidence, and
to start believing Your confidence in me.

...Am I a fool to hope? it goes both ways.
if it strengthens me, then no.
if it weighs me down, then yes.

I wanna settle for You, in You.

...courage, indeed.
the need to be humbled: fulfilled for the moment.
keep on going!
I know You're not through with me yet!

you've galvanized me to action.
the time to mourn is past.
you are out there somewhere.
You are in here somewhere...
I want to discover more of You
more of you.

...friendship/love means action.
and i was too damned absorbed in my own stuff to realize that.
too absorbed to realize that i was absorbed.

i know what you mean
i know what You mean

Your plan is that i live;
but I have merely been existing lately.
thank you for noticing.

...the year of Choice, indeed.
coupled with action, living is a choice i make today.

...who could love a man of inaction?
exactly.

i hope for you; not for the past, nor the past itself.
i've let that weaken me.
i hope for you; the future you(!).
that hope can only strenthen me.

Prepare me, oh God.. for that future you've planned.
Allow me to fear so that i can truly be courageous for You.
Although i have not felt You; you have been near to me all the while.
Let me feel the weight of Your arms again... embracing.
Let my hope be not in vain.
