are we just going thru life but not Living?

i've always heard this song on the radio, and i really like it, but i've never known the story behind it, or what this singer had to go thru. i was just listening to it, decided to google for the lyrics, and clicked on the video for it, and woah it made me cry. XP

being a person who sings regularly, and convinced that this ability is a gift from God, i can relate to his fears of being unable to sing, and losing such a large part of himself, if not his very self. it is not something we think abt frequently, but it is worthy for reflection at some point in time.

my friend once asked a group of us (all of us singers :P), which of our senses would we rather lose: sight, hearing, or speaking/singing? meaning, would we rather be deaf, blind, or mute? a lot of us replied that we would rather be blind, being musicians and all.. but what abt you? :)

what is really impt to you? are you human being, or human doing? :P

may this song inspire you :) here's Matthew West, The Motions.
