Who is “Learning To Live”?

This is RC and I share my light and love with all life as I live my life through love for all life.

Dream Theater’s song, “Learning to Live,” from their 1992 album “Images and Words” is just one song that resonates with me as I go through my own personal ascension process.  I share this song in the hopes that it resonates with others.

John Myung wrote the lyrics to this song and they are as follows:

There is no time for pain

No energy for anger

The sightlessness of hatred slips away

Walking through winter streets alone

He stops and takes a breath

With confidence and self-control

I look at the world and see no understanding

I’m waiting to find some sense of strength

I’m begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding

I need to live life

Like some people never will

So find me kindness

Find me beauty

Find me truth

When temptation brings me to my knees

And I lay here drained of strength

Show me kindness

Show me beauty

Show me truth

The way your HEART sounds

Makes all the difference

It’s what decides if you’ll endure

The pain that we all feel

The way your HEART beats

Makes all the difference

In learning to live

Here before me is my soul

I’m learning to live

I won’t give up

Till I’ve no more to give

Listening to the city

Whispering its violence

I set watching from above

The moments bring new questions

New solutions to be found

I fell in love to be let down

Once again we dance in the crowd

At times a step away

From a common fear that’s all spread out

It won’t listen to what you say

Once you’re touched you stand alone

To face the bitter fight

Once I reached for love

Now I reach for life

Another chance to live my life

Free the sensation in my heart

To ride the wings of dreams

Into changing horizons

It brings inner peace within my mind,

As I’m lifted from where I’ve split my life

I hear an innocent voice

I hear kindness, beauty, and truth

The way your HEART sounds

Makes all the difference

It’s what decides if you’ll endure the pain that we all feel

The way your HEART beats

Makes all the difference

In learning to live

Spread before you is your soul

So forever hold the dreams

Within our hearts

Through nature’s inflexible grace

I’m learning to live

Here is Dream Theater performing the song live in 2000.
