"Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die." Youth Lagoon - 17 (Lyrics)

I haven't posted for awhile on here. But today I was listening to this song and I just had to share it. Man, I love this song. I was in my studio listening to Youth Lagoon and I was struck by one of those moments that you realize you had been missing something. I have listened to this song many times before but didn't actually LISTEN to the lyrics. Well, today I did......over and over. 17 has been on repeat as my soundtrack. Here are the lyrics. Hope and pray this for myself, my daughters, my husband and for you that we "Don't stop imagining. The day that we do is the day that I die."

                                                                                         "17"

Roaming the campground up by the lake where we swam.
We were hunting for snakes,
but we couldn't find them.
Surrounded by nothing,
but the nothing's surrounded by us.
But it's just me in my room,
with my eyes shut.

When I was seventeen,
my mother said to me
"Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die."
Now I pull a one ton carriage,
instead of the horses grazing the lawn.
And I was having fun.
We were all having fun.

My brain can think faster than I can,
I'm not fast enough.
Who is there to talk to
that won't lock me up?
At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that I find,
the snakes I couldn't find,
I don't want to find.

When I was seventeen,
my mother said to me
"Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die."
Now I pull a one ton carriage,
instead of the horses grazing the lawn.
And I was having fun.
We were all having fun.
