"Wonderin"

Tobymac is a stand-out Christian performing artist who just so happens to be one of my favorite musicians in all genres. His new song, Wonderin', off of his new album, "Tonight", has lyrics that just will not get out of my head.

You may ask, "How does this relate to a New Jersey mindset?" Well it does without much doubt in my mind. At least where I grew up in Northern New Jersey Christian Culture was absolutely never ever ever the norm. If it weren't for my sister attending Eastern University, I wouldn't know this school existed, bands like DC Talk and Newsboys would have never danced to a beat in my ear drums and my life would be drastically different.

In this post I just would like to shortly address the gratitude that I hold towards my sister. I am Italian, so I have to love my family unconditionally, but I would love my family even if I didn't have to.

Rather than leaving all my readers with a sense of sappiness I am going to post the lyrics to Tobymac's "Wonderin'" Please comment back and tell me how these words affect you directly...Listen to the song and then tell me you think.

Ti Amo

"Wonderin'"

Well I'm wonderin' bout the road ahead of me,
Wonderin' bout the things you said to me,
Wonderin' if these dreams will ever do.
And I'm wonderin' bout the way I spend my days,
Wonderin' if it's even worth the chase,
Wonderin' if there's still a need from you.

(Uh) We didn't know what to do
You were lookin at me and I was lookin at you
We were thinkin' it odd but we were thankin' our God
For the hope that He put down deep in our hearts
And yo, without a second to think
We was turned around and we were makin that bank
And we was ridin in style clockin them miles
With the songs that He put down deep in our hearts

Well I'm wonderin' bout the road ahead of me,
Wonderin' bout the things you said to me,
Wonderin' if these dreams will ever do.
And I'm wonderin' bout the way I spend my days,
Wonderin' if it's even worth the chase,
Wonderin' if there's still a need from you.

Yeah, it's been a minute my friend
And you and I, we never thought it would end
But when we stopped to pause and opened the doors
There's some dreams that were put down deep in my heart
But hey, I'm always thinkin of you
And I can see your influence in the things that I do
Think and thin, forever my friend
Cause there's a vine that was put down deep in our hearts

Well I'm wonderin' bout the road ahead of me,
Wonderin' bout the things you said to me,
Wonderin' if these dreams will ever do.
And I'm wonderin' bout the way I spend my days,
Wonderin' if it's even worth the chase,
Wonderin' if there's still a need from you.

We didn't know what to do
You were lookin at me and I was lookin at you
We were thinkin' it odd but we were thankin' our God
For the hope that He put down deep in our hearts
And hey, if I could turn back time
I wouldn't touch a day I wouldn't shade the shine
Cause I do know this, I won't be remiss with the memories locked away in my heart (locked away in my heart..)

Well I'm wonderin' bout the road ahead of me,
Wonderin' bout the things you said to me,
Wonderin' if these dreams will ever do.
And I'm wonderin' bout the way I spend my days,
Wonderin' if it's even worth the chase,
Wonderin' if there's still a need from you.
