Inspiration via Common Song

Lindsey made us an adoption mixtape.  Since it has some TobyMac on it, I felt it obligatory to title it Ill 'doptcha.  


Anyway, it has this song by Aaron Ivey titled Amos Story (which I learned are the names of his two adopted children from Haiti).  It's really been speaking to me lately, and the one line that I can't shake is, "I'll find a way to get you here."  When I'm running, training for the race, and I'm losing motivation, I just remember that line.  I'll find a way.  Giving plasma, running races, holding fundraisers, selling video games...


I'll find a way.


Here's the awesome video, and the lyrics are below.  Enjoy.

Another photograph to wrestle in my head
Another sleepless night on concrete featherbed
These thoughts of you like bullets to my soul
We’ve got to find a way to get you home

I’ll find a way to get you here
If it takes my fleeting breath
Another sunrise hits the ground
And it’s a dark lonely sight
Lightyears away I hope you know
There is somebody searching
For the way to get you here

I will get you here

Throw the clocks away and run out to the street

We’ll fly to distant clouds where it’s just you and me
A day will come when all of this is gone

You’ve got to find a way to believe

I’ll find a way to get you here
If it takes my fleeting breath
Another sunrise hits the ground
And it’s a dark lonely sight
Lightyears away I hope you know
There is somebody searching
For the way to get you here
I will get you here

Close your eyes and dream of a better day with me
As angels hold you tight, may you sleep in peace tonight

So dream, dream, dream my child
Hear the whisperings of hope

It’s a song that you can sing, as you sleep in peace tonight
