Post 37/100 Lifetime

I was listening to the radio and Maxwell came on. Lifetime was the song. I don't think I really listened to the lyrics before. He says, "I was reborn, when I was broken". I was leaving my car and I couldn't stop thinking about that line. I actually thought it was " I was born when I was broken".

For a couple of days, those lyrics were on my mind. What Do I mean by broken? I guess an event that shakes up your life.

We are really aren't "us" til we get broken. Its pretty scary to get broken. No one likes it, but its really for our benefit. Maybe. I believe in God , so I believe that it is His will. His will is always good, even when it isn't. I guess its like being spanked as a kid. You don't like it, but when you grow up you understand why it had to be done.

I was first broken by my dad leaving me when I was four. Having a lot of hate in my heart. A lot of anger. Lots of resentment. But learning from that moment and getting stronger. Letting go of the hate, anger, resentment and bitterness. Learning that my earthly father is not the person that I will have to trust. Basically, God is the only one that I will have my back no matter what.

After your broken, and you resolved your issues from it(if you were strong enough to reslove them). You feel good and fresh. Like you were reborn

Maxwell Lifetime Lyrics on the Bottom



I was reborn when I was broken


I wouldn't believe, I wouldn't believe, no

been thru a storm, no use in hoping

that you would come rescue me

somehow your love set me free



And I, I can let my life pass me by

or I can get down and try

work it all out this lifetime

work it on out this time

I can let it all pass me by

or I can get down and try

work it all out this lifetime lifetime



There was a time when love wasn't chosen

now I'm just open for more

now I'm just reaching out for something better

that I had before, girl

there ain't a bottom line in your world



Ooh and I, I can let my life pass me by

or I can get down and try

work it all out this lifetime

work it on out this time



I can let it all pass me by

or I can just try and try

I can move to the light

oh if I take it one day at a time (oh I)

oh spread my love out and fly

oh I (I can move to the light)

ooh I can just make you understand

that love is not a fairytale in a melody

if you want it you can have it girl

maybe you will see maybe you will see (ooh ooh)

ooh oh oh wo oh

lifetime lifetime



repeat chorus
