| | DREAM BIG!!! - Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband
An' when you cry, be sure to dry your eyes,
'Cause better days are sure to come.
An' when you smile, be sure to smile wide,
An' don't let them know that they have won.
An' when you walk, walk with pride: don't show the hurt inside,
Because the pain sill soon be gone.
An' when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.
An' when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
An' when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
An' it will help you feel okay.
An' when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on,
But when the troubles come your way.
An' when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.
Instrumental break.
(Dream big.)
(Dream big.)
An' when you laugh, be sure, (Dream big.)
to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty, (Dream big.)
all around and in yourself,
An' it will help you feel okay.
An' when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on,
But when the troubles come your way.
An' when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
An' when you dream, dream big.
This song is truly amazing if you look at the words. It speaks so much volume to the lives we live as Christians. It gives us the desire in our hearts to achieve our dreams, and not setting our standards too low. Makes us strive to keep a positive attitude at all times and just let out laughter and our beauty within us to sustain us through the hard times. Christ pretty much promised us hard times merely from the fact that we call ourselves Christians. But just because we are to face hardships in the future is no reason to shield ourselves from the promises of wonder that God has provided us. This song, although a country song, speaks so strongly about what our lives should reflect in Christ. We as a society should strive towards success in everything we do (job, social life, community service, walk with Christ...etc), and not let the temptations of this world tear us down and interrupt us from reaching the mountain top.
Christ gave you life...so live it. Depression is something that has been eating at the hearts of people all over the world. No matter what the depth of sorrow, we cannot let our problems hinder our will for happiness. Besides...if we didn't have sorrow, our happiness wouldn't taste so sweet. So, we can all learn from listening to this mellow country song, that life is precious, and it's definitely worth living...and no matter what Life throws at you, take it in stride and prepare yourself for the happiness that's soon to come. So...when you dream...Dream Big...as big as the Ocean Blue :)....cause you never know what might come true... |
