The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
We do have time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving for [x2]
There's a smell of stale feeling that's drinking from my skins
The drinking never stops because the drink off all our sins
We sit and throw our roots into the floor
What are we waiting for [x2] [chorus]
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe
Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
It swells into the air
With the rising Rising sound
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting for [x2] [chorus]
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breath
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe
I am hiding from some beast
But the beast was always here
Watching without eyes
Because the beast is just my fear
That I am just nothing
Now its just what I've become
What am I waiting for
Its already done
Ohhhhhhh [chorus]
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breath
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe

Nice song, thanks Esther.
Christine K. Dec 9, 2008, 6:24am UTC
Thanks for sharing the song. I like it!
Wow, this is very nice Esther. I too enjoyed it. Thanks for this.
Elaine A. Dec 9, 2008, 6:33am UTC
thanks for posting this
JOHN BECK Dec 9, 2008, 6:35am UTC
The spiritual life is so important! If all spirituality is rejected there's a deep void to be filled. Thanks for sharing. The sound of the group reminds me of the band my drummer/singer son played in. I bet they would have liked to perform this piece.

Ha rated it anyway.
Beth J. Dec 9, 2008, 7:02am UTC
Great song.. Thanks for sharing.
dean t. Dec 9, 2008, 7:06am UTC
O yes.
Cathi L. Dec 9, 2008, 7:10am UTC
I BELIEVE!!!!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:13am UTC
Cathi ~ I believe too but I thought that this would be a good song to ponder this time of year.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:13am UTC
Dean ~ Thanks!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:13am UTC
Beth ~ Glad you liked it!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:14am UTC
Shawn ~ Where have you been??

Thanks for the non-existent rating. haaa!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:14am UTC
Shawn ~ I take it you liked the song then??
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:14am UTC
Rick ~ So do you like the song hon?
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:17am UTC
John ~ Exactly my point. Spirituality is something that I have and it is in my heart and in my mind every moment of every waking day for me.

I would have loved to have heard your Son and his band play. This song isn't too wild and crazy and at least one can understand the lyrics and derive some type of personal meaning from them.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:17am UTC
Elaine ~ Thanks!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:18am UTC
Katie ~ The first time I didn't post to your group and you came by anyway. Thanks!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:18am UTC

Lisa Frost Bailey Dec 9, 2008, 7:21am UTC
Hi Esther!! I hope you are doing well!! I love the song.
Marianne R. Dec 9, 2008, 7:22am UTC
Very nice!
Gene P. Dec 9, 2008, 7:22am UTC
Nice
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:35am UTC
Lisa ~ Glad you like the song.

I am upside down, going left instead of right, out instead of in...
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:36am UTC
Marianne ~ I would have thought that you would like this song.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 7:36am UTC
Gene ~ Thanks!
donna h. Dec 9, 2008, 7:47am UTC
This song is good
Kimberly Ripley Dec 9, 2008, 8:03am UTC
These lyrics really make you think, don't they?
this is a really cool song Esther.......
something to ponder.....
Nice song!
Patricia J. Dec 9, 2008, 8:30am UTC
The lyrics make you think and the answer is right there!
Rose Hill Dec 9, 2008, 8:35am UTC
Great lyrics and I like the band too - but this is soooo depressing.
Maybe it just hit me at the wrong time, but I wish I hadn't opened this - sometimes one just isn't ready to deal.
Like Scarlett said in Gone with the Wind, "I'll think about it tomorrow"
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:39am UTC
Jules ~ You are one of the most philosophical people that I know. You derived the same thing out of the lyrics that I did.

Hiding from the beast when the beast is already here; the temptation of life and all that it brings along with it. Beliefs of what our hearts or inner spirits tell us that we are waiting for something, something to believe in. The coming of Christ perhaps? The song has many meanings for me.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:39am UTC
Donna ~ Thanks hon!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:40am UTC
Bunny Board Babe ~ Glad you liked it hon! I love the catchy tune and the lyrics slay me.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:40am UTC
Bounder ~ Thanks hon! Glad you enjoyed it. ;)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:41am UTC
Kimberly ~ Yes the lyrics do. I'm kind of deep sometimes. haaa!
Bert Van Essen Dec 9, 2008, 8:45am UTC
You did some work to put this together. Thanks!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:48am UTC
Randee ~ Something to ponder indeed. ;)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:49am UTC
Priscilla ~ Thanks hon!

Hope things are good with you and your family. ;)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:49am UTC
Patricia ~ The answer is there only if you wish to receive it.

Thanks!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:51am UTC
Rose ~ Sometimes when I hear this song it gets me happy and at other times it makes me very sad. I do understand how you feel.

I am sorry that it brought you down. I felt the twinge in my chest as I read your comment realizing how this song has done that to me as well.

Think about it and if you wish return. If you don't I understand. Thanks Rose!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:55am UTC
Jules ~ You know we have always had a psychic connection and that has always left me so in awe of you because sometimes in reading your comments, I am left with nothing to say as you have already expressed so eloquently that which I had only thought. It's awesome to know that someone is so in sync with you from across the miles. It is so very neat and yet the fear of ever being close to someone from afar scares me to death especially after my most recent experience.

Sorry. I went off topic but I know that you understand.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the compliment. :)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 8:56am UTC
Bert ~ Actually hon, it's no work putting this together. If you would like, I can show you how to post some of your favorite songs here on Gather. ;)

Just let me know if I can help.
Cathi L. Dec 9, 2008, 9:04am UTC
I thought that this would be a good song to ponder this time of year.

Ok, I'll sit and ponder a little while longer!

Excellent tune. I've never heard this band before, so thanks for turning me on to it.
tammie p. Dec 9, 2008, 10:39am UTC

Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 12:31pm UTC
Jules ~ There is never any doubt that you know what I mean. I have always felt that since we met.

I sure am glad that we met. You've been a blessing to me and your friendship ain't too bad either.

Happy Holidays to You and Yours too!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 12:33pm UTC
Jules ~ OUCHY about that eye. Yikes! Nothing like scratching an eye and it hurting like heck that you can't even bear to put another lens in. Been there, done that.

Ummm, Baileys yea good stuff. Do you know how to make buttery nipples? Ask me sometime. Good stuff!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 12:33pm UTC

Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 9, 2008, 12:35pm UTC

If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
(starship)
Cathi L. Dec 9, 2008, 8:12pm UTC
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

Ohh, talking 'bout magic
C C. Dec 9, 2008, 8:26pm UTC
i like the song
Nora D. Dec 9, 2008, 8:29pm UTC

Larry ~ Thanks hon!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 10, 2008, 7:48am UTC
D.B. D. ~ You know you never have to tell me who sings stuff. I know that song by Jefferson Starship very well.

Thanks!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 10, 2008, 7:51am UTC
Cathi ~
Spirit move me
every time I"m near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind

Sweet Melissa,
angel of my life time,
Answer to all answers I can find

Baby I love you Come, come,
come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Dec 10, 2008, 7:52am UTC

Trust me E. Ever hear the song the Devil has Blue Eyes and Blue Jeans? Wicked, wicked, wicked. LOL
Svetlana Goryacheva Dec 17, 2008, 2:11pm UTC
Liked it, Esther, my dear - maybe I even should bookmark it - I use songs with lyrics to improve my English skills, and often it works. ;-)

Hugs and blessings - S.
Janie E. Dec 31, 2008, 2:43am UTC
