Everyday People.

Late last night I was racking my brain to remember a music artist I used to listen to a lot. His music helped me through some pretty rough seasons.... yet I could not remember his last name. I couldn't even remember most lyrics. But I knew what his first name was, and I knew one line from a song. So I spent 20 minutes on google and finally, finally, found him. Daniel Kirkley. He's amazing.... and his music is so incredible. He's pretty cute, too. ;)

He isn't like.... in the top 20 artists of American, no awards, no being wicked famous, nothing huge like that.That's kind-of why I like him so much. Not many people I know have ever heard him.
But.
He is so sincere and his voice is so pure.... and his lyrics are so deep and real. His music isn't the same without his lyrics, and his lyrics aren't the same without his music. You should go listen to him. He's one of the reasons I am who I am today.

Under the glitter
Behind the glamor
Beneath the surface
Everybody looks the same
Naked and broken
All of us fallen
Striving for purpose
Simply trying to find our way
Hoping and longing

Everyday people
Are reaching
For something to believe in
Everyday people
Are pleading to be loved
Everyone's needing
The grace that
Spans across the ages
To find
Everyday people

Sisters and brothers
Loving each other
Sharing the burdens
Weighing heavy on our hearts
Lovers of mercy
Showing compassion
Offering forgiveness
'Cause we've all been torn apart
Wounded together

Everyday people
Are reaching
For something to believe in
Everyday people
Are pleading to be loved
Everyone's needing
The grace that
Spans across the ages
To find
Everyday people
