Hundreds of thousands of fresh new faces are entering the workforce, ready to take on the world with budding new careers, accompanied by big hopes of success. But just how long will it take before these hopes crash headlong into reality?
The group, Addison Road sings the story of the American Dream.
“He sees his life just pass by, Just another number in a suit and tie, No purpose here nothing to give, Is this what it means to really live?”
One young man I know told me that he wasn’t really doing anything besides work. No family life. No church life. Just work and the pay that went along with it. And that was fine with him. It made me sad. What kind of life is that? And then I asked myself, what kind of life am I living? Am I living for the purpose God intended me for?
“Casualties of the American dream/Have we lost our vision/Drifting off and living/Half asleep with a faint heartbeat/Just dying to be revived.”
God, please grab the paddles and jumpstart my heart. Revive me to live for you. Make this my graduation day from survival to significance.
