home

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home
Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Listening to these lyrics, I wonder what they mean. Honestly, I am not quite sure. Their dictionary definition is obvious, but I wonder what they mean in context to me. They could mean something different each day, but today here is what I think they mean.

Another.
Each morning when I wake up, get some coffee occasionally, and ask Jesus what he thinks of today. I get a different response each day, but the way my day goes is as uniform as the last Tuesday or Thursday was. Little things change, homework changes, conversations change, minutes change, work changes, but it is just another. day.

Today = cracker barrel = wonderful change. new coffee. new taste. not another.

I wonder if that is okay. I don't think that is right. I don't think that is the way it is supposed to be. Each day is a gift, and it is not meant to be the same as the previous one. Each day should be an adventure, another opportunity, another "i get to", not "uh. I have to." I should be thankful for a consistent job, consistent family, consistent friends, consistent education, consistent freedom, consistent opportunity, and a constant Lord.

What more could a person ask for? Maybe my life has some adventure, some spontaneity, but not as much as I want? What if there was someone that could bring out that part of me. What if I made each day more than another.

"Something ordinary might turn out to be extraordinary." -my thought.
