Lifehouse Manila Concert

Call me a fanatic but I actually feel like I can die happy after seeing Lifehouse perform right before my very eyes this Saturday. They will be at the Araneta Coliseum on July 26, 8 PM. The minute I head about this, I knew I just had to be there. And I will!

Here's one more band (aside from Switchfoot, another personal fave) whose songs have inspired me and helped me through some of the toughest times of my life. Music is a very powerful tool, I believe, and I think it's important that we listen to that which will uplift us and not pull us down. Lifehouse's music is strikingly real about the heartaches and struggles of life, but their message is always clear: JUST LOOK UP.

Broken is currently the anthem of my heart. May I share the lyrics with all who read this? Whatever you're going through, no matter how spent you feel, regardless of how many disappointments you've faced, just hang in there. There's SOMEONE who cares and who will see you through.

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning

So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be ok

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home
