Imagine Dragons - Believer

There are always those songs that we hear on the radio, or on Pandora, or maybe our Amazon station - we hear parts of the song - but don't really hear the story of the song...

The first time I looked up the lyrics of this song I whispered aloud, "woah." 

Just a whisper.

 - my past - the same for my brothers - has not been a road you would choose.  If you know me - them - us - you know this.  And yet, even with the racket - we are some pretty amazing (I wanted to type badass) people.

....

But a story re-told is not the point of this blog.

Music.  Music.

I live a life where there is a soundtrack constantly playing in my mind.  Sometimes it bubbles out - sometimes I have to share a song.

Tonight - I have to share a song.

Snow is surrounding me everywhere.  Soup is made.  Quilting is being pieced and sewn.  I've grabbed pieces from my Europe trip and started to group things so I can begin the process of creating altered books that will encapsulate that amazing adventure.

Wherever you are now - this moment - this point in your life - I sure hope: By the grace of the fire and the flames, You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh, The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing, Inhibited, limited, Till it broke up and it rained down, It rained down, like....  You made me a, you made me a believer, believer.

Go be the greatest most amazing you.  (Believer)

First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh
Second thing
Second, don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh

I was broken from a young age
Taking my soul into the masses
Write down my poems for the few
That looked at me took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heart ache from the pain
Take up my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My luck, my love, my God, they came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh

I was choking in the crowd
Living my brain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My luck, my love, my God, they came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My luck, my love, my God, they came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
