DAILY POST: FRAME OF MIND
If you could paint your current mood onto canvas, what would that mood look like? What would it depict?
Second Fiddle
Song Description
Living as a child with divorced parents is not always easy – especially when they both come to watch you play at a sporting event and sit on opposite sides. I have been the parent, and I have been the kid in this situation.

Like a rope pulled back and forth in a tug of war
Like a soccer ball bounced from head to toe
Like the fly away ball in a baseball game
His perfect family is up in flames
He hangs on believing things will change
He is only one play away
He’s caught in the middle
Playing second fiddle
Like a chess pawn sacrificed for the King and Queen
Like a quarterback sacked on the play
Like a basketball in a zone defense
He’s double teamed or else he’s benched
He hangs on believing things will change
He is only one play away
He’s caught in the middle
Playing second fiddle
Back and forth, back and forth
zero to love, zero to love
He’s caught in the middle
Playing second fiddle
Oh he’s caught in the middle
Playing second fiddle
He hangs on believing things will change
He is only one play away
He’s caught in the middle
Playing second fiddle

[…] So I sit. And I wait. And I make the choice to choose to believe that God really does know the ‘bigger picture’ and I may not. My parents divorced. I know what it is like – to love them both in different places. To be caught in the middle. (see Second Fiddle) […]
Love it….
Thanks Angel – I had to remix it. It’s better now…was having computer issues…D
