THE INSPIRATION FOR THE SONG
"IN THIS LIFE"
The inspiration for the song "In This Life" came one night while the news was focusing on families that have members overseas, fighting in the war. Rod watched as they spoke of the pride they felt for their loved ones that were selflessly putting their lives on the line. He was struck by the courage not only of the soldiers, but of their families that supported them, it seemed both were making huge sacrifices. It's one of the most inspiring things that we ever come across in our lives - sacrifice, sometimes the ultimate sacrifice, so that we all can live free. This song attempts to embody this feeling in anyone who listens.
LYRICS TO "IN THIS LIFE"
in this life torn apart
i've been looking for the answers
i wish i was at home
if i could end this all today
if i could only find away
say you'll keep a candle burning
cause i'll be coming home
i dont wanna run away
i dont wanna sacrifice
say you'll be here with me
you could give me the strength to carry on
i dont wanna run away
i've been running way too long
when you're here with me
something hits me
i know that we belong
in this life
all this time i've been gone
you were always waiting for me
i need to let you know
if i could take the pain away
if i could find the words to say
say you'll keep a candle burning
cause i'll be heading home
i dont wanna run away
i dont wanna sacrifice
say you'll be here with me
you could give me the strength to carry on
i dont wanna run away
i've been running way too long
when you're here with me
something hits me
i know that we belong
in this life
i'm waiting on a moment
i'm waiting on the line
my arms are there to hold you
im coming home tonight
i've been away for far too long
the memories have kept me strong
you're the one, the one that got me through
i dont wanna run away
i dont wanna sacrifice
say you'll be here with me
you could give me the strength to carry on
i dont wanna run away
i've been running way too long
when you're here with me
something hits me
i know that we belong
in this life
LYRICS TO "I'M BREATHING"
Ridin' high on an angel's wings
And the devil sings inside my head
All alone on a Friday night
With an empty bottle by my side
And now I'm lookin' for the reasons why I'm alive
And now I've finally come to realize
I can't erase this feelin'
I can't escape
And now I'm lying on the floor
And I really need to find the answers
Lying on the floor
'Cause I've given every piece of me
And I'm breathing
Now the lights are flashing
And I'm crashing to the other side
Need another time around
Get me off the ground
Give me one more try
And now I'm lookin' for the reasons why I'm alive
And now I've finally come to realize
I can't erase this feelin'
I can't escape
And now I'm lying on the floor
And I really need to find the answers
Lying on the floor
'Cause I've given every piece of me
And I'm breathing
And they prayed for
Can he make it through?
I'm not leaving...
I'm not leaving you
Ridin' high on an angel's wings
And the devil sings inside my head
Waking up from a dream I'm in
And the nurse walks in
She looks and says
"Everything will work out right"
I can't erase this feelin'
I can't escape
And now I'm lying on the floor
And I really need to find the answers
Lying on the floor
'Cause I've given every piece of me
And I'm breathing
