The World I Know by Collective Soul

Have you seen Varsity Blues? It's a teenage oldie from the late 90's and it stars the cutie from Dawson's Creek, James Van Der Beek. I haven't watched it again but I remembered the song that goes with the movie ... The World I Know by Collective Soul. Take a look at the video and the lyrics ...

Has our conscience shown?

Has the sweet breeze blown?

Has all the kindness gone?

Hope still lingers on

I drink myself of newfound pity

Sitting alone in New York City

And I don't know why

Are we listening

To hymns of offering?

Have we eyes to see

That love is gathering?

All the words that I've been reading

Have now started the act of bleeding

Into one...into one...

So I walk up on high

And I step to the edge

To see my world below

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down

'Cause it's the world I know

Oh it's the world I know

I drink myself of newfound pity

Sitting alone in New York City

And I don't know why..don't know why...

So I walk up on high

And I step to the edge

To see my world below

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down

'Cause it's the world I know

Oh it's the world I know

So I walk up on high

And I step to the edge

To see my world belo

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down

'Cause it's the world I know

Oh it's the world I know

Old School | Dawson's Creek

This was first aired when I was in freshmen High School and it got everybody addicted (when I say everybody, I mean all the girls) but back then we don't have any television and Dawson's Creek was aired every Monday night at 8AM and our neighbors don't watch it because it's in English and they'd rather watch something in our native tongue.

I saw bits and pieces of the series but not all the seasons and with the power of Ebay am able to acquire the entire seasons in DVD and now am watching it. Episode by episode, season per season and it reminds me of high school. Another trip down memory lane here.

So here's the track at the opening of the series:

I Don't Want To Wait by Paula Cole

so open up your morning light

and say a little prayer for right

you know that if we are to stay alive

and see the peace in every eye

she had two babies

one was six months one was three

in the war of '44

every telephone ring

every heartbeat stinging

when thought it was God calling her

oh would her son grow to know his father

CHORUS:

i don't want to wait

for our lives to be over

i want to know right now

what will it be

i don't want to wait

for our lives to be over

will it be yes or will it be

sorry

he showed up all wet

on the rainy front step

wearing shrapnel in his skin

and the war he saw

lives inside him still

it's so hard to be gentle and warm

the years passed by and now

he has a granddaughter

chorus

oh so you look at me

from across the room

you're wearing your anguish again

believe i know the feeling

it sucks you into the jaws of anger

oh, so breathe a little more deeply my love

all we have is the very moment

and i don't want to do what

his father and his father and his father did

i want to be here now

so open up your morning light

and say a little prayer for I

you know that if we are to stay alive

and see the peace in every eye

chorus (2 times)

so open up your morning light

and say a little prayer for right

you know that if we are to stay alive

and see the love in every eye
