Bigger Than My Body

Ok. I am not really a J.ohn Mayer fan. I don't have anything against him, I'm just not really into his music. I don't really know his songs or much about him. I woke up this morning with this verse in my head, "I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for." Weird. I haven't heard that song in a long time. So, I decided to look it up and listen to it. First, I looked under D.ave Matthews Band because that is who I thought sang it. See....I really have never had ANY connection to this song except for hearing it in passing on the radio. When I looked up the lyrics, it kind of took my breath away,

"This is a call to the color-blind
This is an IOU
I'm stranded behind a horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not my time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in
Never to quite return

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for
Cause I'm bigger than my body now

Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
And it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body now"

Also, this morning I was doing some reading and came across this quote from Thomas Merton, "I am nothing. It is not my job to understand."

So, that is what I'm going with. I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for and it is not my job to understand.
