Fix You

The band played this song in Church on Sunday evening.

Its a song by Coldplay One of the better mega bands of the moment :)

So anyway, these words kind of stayed with me these last few days. I find them very powerful and beautiful on a number of levels. This could be a spiritual song or a love song or anywhere in between. The power in a good lyric is its ability to move the soul and that's what this song did for me - it moved me, rather profoundly.

Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I have learned from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I love those lyrics. I am a lyric person myself. 'Lights will guide you home.' That imagery is like God guiding us back home again. Back into the warmth and love we've come to know. Beautiful post.
