Free from the World.....and it's government

Another song blog....

2008-12-27T22:52:00.000-08:00

I bought Beyonce's new album I am... Sasha fierce (which is uniquely EPIC by the way)
Among the songs of Love and boys there lies a song I very much enjoy
It reminded me of a friend who has always been a hero in her own right, to so many
Though she might argue with the title-
She deserves a hero of her own.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save the Hero
-Beyonce

I lay alone awake at night
Sorrow fills my eyes
But I’m not strong enough to cry
Despite of my disguise
I’m left with no shoulder
But everyone wants to lean on me.
I guess I’m their soldier.
Well, who’s gonna be mine

Who’s there to save the hero
When she’s left all alone
And she’s crying out for help.
Who’s there to save the hero
Who’s there to save the girl…
After she saves the world
After she saves the world.

I bottle all my hurt inside,
I guess I’m living a lie.
Inside my mind each day I die
What can bring me back to life?
A simple word, a gesture
Someone to say you’re beautiful
Come find this buried treasure
With eyes lead to a pot of gold.

Who’s there to save the hero
When she’s left all alone
And she’s crying out for help
Who’s there to save the hero
Who’s there to save the girl
After she saves the world…
After she saves the world.

I’ve given too much of myself
And now it’s driving me crazy
I’m crying out for help?
Sometimes I wish someone would
Just come here and save me…
Save me from myself

Who’s there to save the hero
When she’s left all alone
And she’s crying out for help
Who’s there to save the hero
Who’s there to save the girl
After she saves the world…
After she saves the world.

Have we met?

2008-12-06T07:00:00.000-08:00

Just kind of a cheesy thought I had lately after listening to some Bradley Hathaway. I wonder where they are, my future spouse that is. I pray for that person regularly, for safety. Because after all, who wants to married to a dead person? Srlsy. ;) So I guess to the "one" for me, be safe we'll meet soon and one day have our own story to tell................

-Ethan

So here is his poem: Let Me Be a Lighthouse.

Let Me Be a Lighthouse- Bradley Hathaway
---------------------------------------------
Let me be a lighthouse, shining on the sea
So you can see me showing you where to be
And row, row, row your boat to shore
And let, let, let my heart adore
you as never before

The birds that sing are the only company I keep
And the sun, as it shines, reminding me of times spent with you
When we had nothing to do
But take walks in parks, and kiss each other
And watch the sparks
And drive down country roads
And sing songs that we both know
We called them lazy days
And we found so many ways to simply enjoy one another

Can we now return to those times?
There is your hand, now here take mine
And look into my eyes, and I'll look into yours
And you tell me stories, and I'll tell you stories,
Of things that have happened in each other's absence
And we'll let our light shine across the sea
Showing others of the love now complete

And we'll make a vow, the opposite of treason
And we'll thank God for giving us another reason
to thank him for the gifts that he gives, like
You to me, and me to you
And us to the world,
And the world to us.

AN ACTUAL POST!

2008-09-17T01:25:00.000-07:00

WOW,
So after a few months of posting meaningful things like poop and hey I am actually writing something of consequence.
(currently Listening to Patrick Leitner- Really great acoustic guitar artist)

I have started back at Troy University here in south Alabama and am in my fifth(ish) week of classes. My studies are getting off to a rocky start but with.....I guess every other day things are "looking up" and "getting better".
I will not go into every minutia of my day to day happenings, but rather give a bullet like overview of some things.
Taking 12 hours of classes including introductory Greek [yeah!... :/]
My car is currently out of commission until I get a new spare tire or repair the blown one.
My grandpa is in his first weeks of radiation treatment for throat cancer.
Spiritually speaking I am in a rut, but starting to see light and an end to the valley.
Feeling a void growing inside in the shape of a fantastic and worth it girl, just wondering when she'll show up. :)
Worrying about how my dad's business is doing and financial things.
Concerned about the dying and displaced because of the "war on terror" and wondering when the foolishness will end.
Laughing at the two party system and it's lack of substance.
Wanting to wake up my close friends to the dangers that lie ahead in these changing times.
Going to bed before I start embarrassing myself. ;)

The most undeserving,
-Ethan Harrison

Poop.

Now the blog actually starts

Hey guys,

I am now at the point where blogging is actually possible.

The summer on staff with World Changers is coming to a close and I am feeling good. We are in Wilmington, NC until Thursday when we will travel to Grifton. That is the site of our last project. We have enjoyed this week of relaxation at the beach and hanging out at the hotel.

Much Love,

Ethan

Hey, hey, hey.
