I Dare You To Move

I Dare You To Move - Switchfoot

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before


Well, it's almost 3 am and I'm still awake on my computer having some thoughts. I began listening to this song about half an hour ago. It's played a good many times, seeing as it's on repeat and all. Even though it's played for a long time, I just really listened to it. It just became loud in my ears all of a sudden. I was amazed at it. I began to cry, not only because of the song, but the song had alot to do with it.

The first few lines talk about how you're part of the world. You're only one other person, yet everyone else is wanting for you to do what you are here to do. It says that you should do what you want next. You shouldn't consider what happened today because, in the grand scheme of things, "Today never happened". "The tension is here, between who you are and who you could be, between how it is and how it should be", is a person's reflection upon themselves. You could be so many different people, but you are who you are. So many things happen, but that doesn't mean they should happen. Then it goes on to say that Jesus died for your sins and no matter where you are, Salvation is always going to be there. Forgiveness is going to be wherever you fall. Redemption is always going to change people and they are going to have things to tell you.

This relates to the conversation that Eli and I have been having for the past couple of hours. We've been discussing who we actually are. I think that I am a helper. He doesn't know who he is. I think that everything can be fixed, and that everyone can be helped. He thinks that not everything and not everyone can be fixed or helped. I don't know what to think about this. I believe and want to continue to believe what I think, but he could be right. I don't want him to be right, but he has good points and examples. Could it be that everything I've ever believed in is wrong. I've been living in the world I never wanted to find myself in?
