I try to picture a girl
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe
Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it's laughter that we're makin after all
The call of the wild is still an ordination why
And the order of the permeates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing gratitude
Practicing their loving for you
Just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
Nothing is ever as it seems
This life is but a dream
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe
Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it's laughter that we're makin after all
The call of the wild is still an ordination why
And the order of the permeates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing gratitude
Practicing their loving for you
Just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
Nothing is ever as it seems
This life is but a dream
I always consider Jason Mraz not as a singer only but an inspiration. From his songs, I can see he has a great concern toward humanity. It appears in his song, such as Love for A Child, Live High, Details in The Fabric, etc. Live High is one song I'd like to see the whole content now and try to see the deep meaning inside it.
Jason tries to picture a life from a man and a woman which people see they have weaknesses. On the first line he sees a woman as a carbon atom. Carbon is the most vital element for living beings, because all living organisms are constructed from compounds of carbon. It appears first in atom (which is the smallest elemen) to form a molecule and then finally build the compunds which is truly beneficial for life for example forminh water, oxygen, and other essential things for life. What he intends to say to this blind girl is that, though this girl is like living in her new world, in the darkness of her world, however she is also one most essential part in life. The second comparison is on how he pictures a man. An ugly man, if people may say. But he is an open hand person who always be helpful and kind. He is the real good deed doer.All human are the same, despite their weaknesses. We must find something valuable from her. Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe, though she seems to have nothing in her life, she owns everything in her life. Jason would like you to give more emphaty to those having weaknesses.
God does not choose someone from the weaknesses of someone. God chooses someone from what kindess and good deed that he/she has done. We're coming out in this world nakedly, without no sin. And we only have to wait the actual date and time when we have to die.Though it seems such a hard reason to believe that someday they're gonna die. They will leave this world and everything and some people still think that they will leave forever, we should find a justifiable argument for that, that. So why not starting the good things from now on?
Live high means growing through every experience, taking each encounter with each being you cross paths with as intention, understand that there are no coincidences, every single action has an equivocal reaction wether upon initialty, or somewhere down your twisting passage of time may it rise back with some realization ( I am taking this from the internet and I think this is the best argument). Living with intention, with understanding. So we're able to achieve what we want in our life and also becoming more tolerant toward people surrounds us. Live mighty is to live by having or showing great power, skill, strength, or force. Live righteously means arising life from an outraged sense of justice or morality. That's the reason for living. To be passionate but do not forget others.
Jason also tries to give the criticism on the government. How they are still living in the wild world, when the one who is strong is the winner. They neglect the interest of people. The policy are too late to save people sometimes because they're arguing something for their own interest, not people's. He imagines that the assembly or parliament, would be more likely a worship place to God. When people intends to struggle for other people's interest. And it will be grateful for those people in the parliament to work for God through the people.
In the end, we ask us to enjoy the reality which is able to adjust to changing circumstances or adaptable. Sometimes something we really want to picture in our real life can't just turn out to be what it is. Therefore, we oftenly think that it is a dream rather than a reality. But let's just take it easy :)
