Drifting

When we do not set our sail we just drift. When we are drifting we go wherever the current takes us. Many times I have went in a slough on the river and found all kind of junk in the back of the slough from logs to boats to diapers. Neither serving any purpose but just ended up as far back in the slough as they could go. Drifting is dangerous. You end up where you do not want to be and serving no purpose. Refuse passivity. Live with purpose. Here is a great song by Decemberadio entitled Drifter. Take time to listen and if you are a drifter come back home.  

I'm A Drifter

Sometimes a song is more than a song. I ran across one of those this past week while listen to Rick and Bubba. They had Decemberadio in the studio and they sang the song “Drifter”. Sometimes I think we all can really identify with it. Here are the lyrics and a link to listen to it.

I used to have a home

a place I started from

a place to call my own

bright lights and late nights

the devil took me on a midnight ride

left me out in the desert on my own

Now I feel alone

I need a hand to help me find my way back home

I'm a drifter out on a dead end road

trying to find my way back home to get to you, oh to get to you

lord I've been gone for far too long headed to places i don't belong

and I've got to get back home to you

Sometimes I think about the past

the road that I was on

the one that lead me home

I'll walk on another day

I may wonder but I never stray

cause I found out the hard way sin don't pay

Now I feel alone

I need a hand to help me find my way back home

I'm a drifter out on a dead end road

trying to find my way back home to get to you, oh to get to you

lord I've been gone for far too long headed to places i don't belong

and I've got to get back home to you

and when I feel the night is closing in

and I can barely breathe the air

I just remember that I've got a friend

who really cares

oh who really cares

I'm a drifter out on a dead end road

trying to find my way back home to get to you, oh to get to you

lord I've been gone for far too long headed to places I don't belong

and I've got to get back home to you.

Listen to the song here and weep if you need to, rejoice if you need to, mourn if you need to, but maybe today you can begin to find your way back home.
