Don't Close Your Eyes


iTunes was up today. Well, it generally always is, haha. But somehow Genius decided that Switchfoot's song "This Is Your Life" belonged on my playlist. I haven't heard it in a while, and I forgot how much I love the melody, not to mention the words.


Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead.
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken.
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes.
This is your life and today is all you've got now.
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have.
Don't close your eyes.
Don't close your eyes.

This is your life. Are you who you want to be?
This is your life. Are you who you want to be?
This is your life. Is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose?

Yesterday is a kid in the corner.
Yesterday is and over.
This is your life. Are you who you want to be?This is your life. Are you who you want to be? This is your life. Is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose?


Don't close your eyes.
Don't close your eyes.Don't close your eyes.Don't close your eyes.
This is your life. Are you who you want to be
This is your life. Are you who you want to be
This is your life. Are you who you want to be?This is your life. Are you who you want to be? This is your life. Is it everything you dreamed that it would be,
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose?


And you had everything to lose.

I started thinking about something my friend Andrew shared with me a couple years ago before he graduated:
This is your life. But are you who God wants you to be?

And I've just been chewing on that all morning....
