emily >> michael w. smith

as i was scouring through vinyls at goodwill today, i came across an old michael w. smith album. i'm not a huge fan by any means but one of the songs caught my eye-- entitled "Emily". haha so i thought, "eh, why not?" and bought it just because i was curious. 

when i got home and played it, i looked up the lyrics and couldn't help but laugh! i'm sure he wrote it as an encouraging, motivational song for some girl in his life named Emily... but it was not what i was expecting it to be about! anyway! it's circa 1990's (when i was born) if that takes you back at all:)

take a listen >>>



Caught, in an endless time
Waiting for a sign
To show you where to go
Lost, in a silent stare
Looking anywhere
For answers you don't know
Chorus:
On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
You feel alone
Uninspired
Well does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings...Emily

You, going through this stage
It's a restless age
Young and insecure
Sill, there are doubts to fade
Moments to be made
And one of them is yours

Chorus

On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
But you feel alone
Uninspired
Oh does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings
Oh, you're an angel waiting for wings...Emily
