How do you measure a life?
3/18/2011
When I was in high school I loved the musical "Rent"
It had this song called "Seasons of Love" (Cheesy title I know)
It was all about how you "measure" your life
And when I got into college
I learned that this was just a
about measuring your life (only he used coffee spoons instead of minutes)
And over the years the idea has stuck with me
and I often catch myself thinking about how I measured today,
or this week,
or this month,
or even this year.
And I think it says a lot (good or bad)
about who I am
and what my priorities are.
So I'm going to try to record these thoughts,
because it is all those little things
that are making up
this little life of mine.
Lyrics to "Seasons of Love"
COMPANY
525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How
about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love.
SOLOISTS 1&2
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?
SOLOIST 1
In truths that she
learned,
SOLOIST 2
Or in times that he cried.
SOLOIST 1
In bridges he burned,
SOLOIST 2
Or the way that she died....
COMPANY
It's time now to sing out,
the story never ends let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends.
How about love!
How about love! How about love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love! Seasons of love.
