Daniel Bedingfield - Honest Questions
----------------
Can you see
The honest questions in my heart this hour?
I'm opening like a flower to the rain
And do you know
The silent sorrows of a
Never ending journey through the pain
Do you see a brighter day for me?
Another day?
A day?
Do you wonder what's in store for me?
The cure for me?
The way?
Oh look down and see the tears I've cried
The lives I've lived
The deaths I've died
You died them too
And all for me
And you say:
"I will pour my water down
Upon a thirsty barren land
And streams will flow from the dust of
Your bruised and broken soul
You will grow like the grass
Upon the fertile plains of Asia
By the streams of living water
You will grow
You will grow"
Do you know
My story from the start?
And do you know me
Like you've always told me?
Do you see
The whispers in my heart against your kindness
My eternal blindness
Do you see?
Do you see a brighter day for me?
Another day?
A day?
Do you wonder what's in store for me?
The cure for me?
The way?
Oh look down and see the tears I've cried
The lives I've lived
The deaths I've died
You died them too
And all for me
And you say:
"I will pour my water down
Upon a thirsty barren land
An streams will flow from the dust of
Your bruised and broken soul
You will grow like the grass
Upon the fertile plains of Asia
By the streams of living water
You will grow
I will pour my water down
Upon a thirsty barren land
An streams will flow from the dust of
Your bruised and broken soul
You will grow like the grass
Upon the fertile plains of Asia
By the streams of living water
You will grow
You will grow

Daniel Bedingfield might be your average, acoustic guy who sings falsetto and makes pleasing ballads. But how do you distinguish this song from the rest of the tracks in his album - Gotta Get Thru This? It's the spirit of the song that pours out from the lyrics and the melody.
Just imagine, someone who was there for you when your world fell down... how would you had showed your gratitude? A thank-you? A ticket to a movie? How about a song that revealed the weakest you at your weakest time.. and that your friend were there encouraging you and supporting you?
Daniel has showed that gratefulness for someone doesn't have to be that superficial. It can be as melodious and as saddening as you want it to be. Your friend had done his part, and he deserves some credit. How many people would be willing to have helped you up at that point of time? You might lie and say that you didn't even fall, but honestly...would you be able to say that if no one was there? Solitude, lonliness are just feelings that are overwhelmed when that right friend comes.
Thank him, and cherish friendship, because Daniel had revealed how fragile the human spirit can be, and how someone had grabbed hold of him before he fell too deep. Open your hearts and find who had ever helped you to be stronger. That friend would had fell with you as long as he could save you.
