There has been a song lately that has resonated with me. \u00a0The song? \u00a0Switchfoot’s song from their CD Vise Verses – Thrive.<\/p>\n

Been fighting things that I can’t see
\nLike voices coming from the inside of me and
\nLike doing things I find hard to believe in
\nAm I myself or am I dreaming?<\/p>\n

I’ve been awake for an hour or so
\nChecking for a pulse but I just don’t know<\/strong>
\nAm I a man when I feel like a ghost?
\nThe stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes<\/p>\n

No, I’m not alright
\nI know that I’m not right<\/strong>
\nA steering wheel don’t mean you can drive
\nA warm body don’t mean I’m alive<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, I’m not alright
\nI know that I’m not right
\nFeels like I travel but I never arrive
\nI wanna thrive not just survive<\/strong><\/p>\n

I come alive when I hear you singing
\nBut lately I haven’t been hearing a thing<\/strong> and
\nI get the feeling that I’m in between
\nA machine and a man who only looks like me<\/p>\n

I try and hide it and not let it show
\nBut deep down inside me I just don’t know
\nAm I a man when I feel like a hoax?<\/strong>
\nThe stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes<\/p>\n

No, I’m not alright
\nI know that I’m not right
\nA steering wheel don’t mean you can drive
\nA warm body don’t mean I’m alive<\/p>\n

No, I’m not alright
\nI know that I’m not right
\nFeels like I travel but I never arrive
\nI wanna thrive not just survive<\/p>\n

I’m always close, but I’m never enough<\/strong>
\nI’m always in line, but I’m never in love
\nI get so down<\/strong>, but I won’t give up
\nI get so down, but I won’t give up
\nI get so down, but I won’t give up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Been fighting things that I can’t see<\/strong>
\nLike voices coming from the inside of me and
\nLike doing things I find hard to believe in
\nAm I myself or am I dreaming?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Am I myself or am I dreaming?
\nAm I myself or am I dreaming?<\/p>\n

Thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive<\/p>\n

No, I’m not alright
\nI know that I’m not right
\nA steering wheel don’t mean you can drive
\nA warm body don’t mean I’m alive<\/p>\n

No, I’m not alright
\nI know that I’m not right
\nFeel like I travel but I never arrive
\nI wanna thrive not just survive
\nI wanna thrive not just survive<\/p>\n

Yeah yeah
\nFeel like I travel but I never arrive
\nI wanna thrive not just survive
\nI wanna thrive not just survive
\nI wanna thrive not just survive<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feels like I travel but I never arrive
\nI wanna thrive not just survive<\/p>\n

So as I said, it’s a good song. \u00a0If you want to – I’ve added the song via youtube on here. \u00a0 It was a rather addicting song for me.<\/p>\n

The last week or so has been weird to spend without Maryia. \u00a0With most of it consumed watching the news after the Boston Marathon Bombing. \u00a0I must say that the Yankees showed so much class and support.<\/p>\n
