Switchfoot is my favorite band!. Their lyrics are like poems!.

Ever heard of the song Twenty-four by them!?

Read up on it, I am almost SURE you can relate!. Almost anybody could!.
"I wrote this song near the end of my 24th year on this planet!. Wherever we run, wherever the sun finds us when he rises, we remain stuck with ourselves!. That can be overwhelming!. Sometimes I feel like my soul is polluted with politicians, each with a different point of view!. With all 24 of them in disagreement, each voice is yelling to be heard!. And so I am divided against myself!. I feel that I am a hypocrite until I am one, when all of the yelling inside of me dies down!. I've heard that the truth will set you free!. That's what I'm living for: freedom of spirit!. I find unity and peace in none of the diversions that this world offers!. But I've seen glimpses of truth and that's where I want to run" - Jon Foreman
