Glitter in the Air

This might be old news to some, and new news to others, but I just heard this song by P!NK for the first time.  There is something simple and yet disquieting about the song.  Both the feel of the music and the question behind the lyrics have me pondering the "glitter in the air" moments in life.  The moments that define you, the moments you live for, and the moments you hope to have.  The moments in which you are glad to be who you are.

Am I brave enough to face these moments, to seek them out?  I hope that I let myself trust and prove my trustworthiness to others.  I hope that I surrender to God and allow Him to orchestrate these moments for His purpose, and not my own.  I pray that I learn to love more like God and become a beautiful song of my own for Him to delight in.

I want to know what you think.  Here is a link to the video on YouTube from P!NK's performance on the Grammy's (don't worry, she's wearing a nude-colored costume, she's not naked) Glitter in the Air, and the lyrics are also below.  Please leave comments with your thoughts.

Have you ever fed a lover
With just your hands
Close your eyes
And trusted, just trusted
Have you ever thrown
A fist full of glitter in the air
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just dont care

Its only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
And the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way...

Have you ever hated yourself
For staring at the phone
Your whole life waiting on the ring
To prove youre not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently
You had to cry
Have you ever invited a stranger
To come inside

Its only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way...

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, callin me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night
Lassoed the moon and the stars
And pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath
And asked yourself
Will it ever get better
Than tonight, tonight...
