Song: So Bright (Stand Up)

From: Superchic(k)

Written by: (Max Hsu, Justin Sharmbono, Matt Dally, Melissa Brock)

Album: Last One Picked (Inpop)

Lyrics:

You’re bored, gotta wonder if there’s more

Waiting for the dreamlife you thought you had in store

Trying to feel something you can chase a life that’s thrilla

Living on the edge

Smoking, drinking dream killas

Coulda been, shoulda been, woulda been

What might your life have been

Today you’re not as been, but your at your life’s end

Will you have regrets then, have regrets then?

Are you okay with today if tomorrow is the end

Live today through the future’s lens

Don’t wanna wish you could rewind and play it again

Chorus:

Stand up, write the soundtrack for you life

It doesn’t happen to you, you happen to life

Stand up, you know you’re gonna have to fight

Don’t wanna lose the will to find your light

Stand up, God gave you the gift of life

It doesn’t happen to you, you happen to life

Stand up, do something with your light

You’re a light on a hill, you’re meant to shine so bright

So bright, so bright, so bright, so bright, so bright, so bright, so bright

We’re all scared, gotta wonder what’s out there

Shooting down the ones who did what we wish we dared

Everybody’s scared to karaoke in the open

Afraid we’re not as special as what we might be hoping

So, we’re frozen, haven’t chosen

Just going through the motions

Faith and belief, courage overrule emotions

Stand up and be counted for something when it’s time

Decide where you stand, take you hands raise em high

Live today through the future’s lens

Don’t wanna wish you could reset and play it again

Bible verses:

* “ For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future” - Jeremiah 29:11

* “ However, as it is written; No eyes has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him” - 1 Corinthians 2:9

* “ Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine the stars in the universe” - Philippians 2:14,15

* “ I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 3:14

 

This is one important thing we always ask ourselves or someone always asks us. “What are you gonna be when you grow up?” And then we answer, “ Well, I want to be a lawyer or a teacher or a singer”. I’ve always been through those times and even more now that I have to really think about what’s God’s will really is. Its hard to figure out what were destined to be. And this song clearly talks about how were destined to be something that God has planned for us and actually taking charge of that plan that God has placed in our hearts. As for us teenagers , its so hard to figure out things, what’s our purpose in this life?

Believe me when I say I’ve have dealt with this over a million times and even more now since I’m gonna graduate in 2 more years. For me I thought it would be a long time until I have to figure out what I’m gonna be. But then all the sudden it comes out of no where and then you really have to think about what’s God’s purpose in our lives. I know some teens out there and some I even know don’t even have a clue on what there gonna be and really for me its really hard cause I don’t wanna end up doing something that God didn’t want me to do or end up taking my desires instead of Gods.

It’s so hard for us and even some people I know some who just give up and just don’t think they’re able to do anything. And its really sad to see that cause we can do anything through Christ. Its just our own fears that pulls us down and tell ourselves that we can’t do that. But we can! With God’s help we can do anything!!

I’ve have learned that I have to trust in the Lord with all my heart, soul and mind. If I trust Him, He will guide me to what it is I’m destined to be. Even though it might seems hard, we got to believe in Him. Right now I feel like I’m called to be singer but I’m still not sure. I hope God helps me in the future! And I know He will! If you guys ever have that feeling that you’re meant to be a teacher or a doctor or a youth group leader just remember that if you feel like that’s what you’re meant to be then that’s probably what God wants you to be. And also pray PRAY REAL HARD and He will lead you! So just remember YOU CAN DO ANYTHING THROUGH CHRIST!!!!!!!! HE LOVES YOU!!! SHINE BRIGHT!!!!
