  • goood stufff -3 love them already !

  • I love this song!!!!! I LOVE FLYLEAF

  • Omg so deep love them

  • Anybody know when the new album comes out? I know they're working on one because it says so on their website

  • only flyleaf has these meaningfull lyrics

  • Real Voice = Lacey Sturm (:

  • Now this is real music <3

  • lacey your voice !! ♥

  • This is spiritual music  I wrote this song I want them to play but it will never happen

  • Which album is this from?????

  • Okay, so I've read some of these comments and I'm a little confused! What is this song about?

    Please help me,understandd!

  • @32BeccaBoo It's about inspiration from God. When God gives you inspiration, sometimes you're just the one holding the pen.

  • song two on my sad despressed playlist. LOL the world sucks for writers and artist

  • I love this song ...a lot

  • My interpretation of this song was that all of Flyleaf's work was inspired by Him and though they are thankful as the penholder of His inspiration, they feel that they don't deserve the recognition. That's just my interpretation of the song. I think they should give themselves some more credit for their talent and their art, but that's just an opinion of mine.

  • @ all "haters"..You don't deserve this!

  • (continuing) to start controversy and to get people to really really think about all of the different scenarios that are brought up do to this song.

    D- To the Atheists, Budists, Catholics, Jews, Christians, and everyone in between. The truth need not be defended.

  • A- I can see how it can relate to how she's just using her pen to write what God has already given her to write. God made a plan for her and it seems like all of her fans are giving Lacey all of the credit when in reality, she thinks her fans need to thank God for Laceys music more then herself.

    B- I can also see how it could be about abuse or rape because I don't exactly remember the lyrics but something along the lines of "I'll show you what he's done to me."

    C- She could have made this song

  • @lexielost A!!

  • @lexielost A!!

    look at 3:11

    

  • I was the 1,630th person to like this! :]

  • That voice...

  • Firstly, great song! It's soo good!

    Secondly, .... Whoa. Um... Just one question, DK (I can call u that, right?)... Does believing in something contrary to your opinion automatically make me unable to think rationally? ... Just wondering because you seem to put ALOT of emphasis on thinking rationally and you seem to have stated that you were a catholic because you were not yet able to think rationally. I would just like for you to clear this up for me, so I can understand where you are coming

  • whatever. great song. comprehension of bringing religion into a convo about a song is beyond my understanding capabilities because it's stupid and i don't think about things that are stupid. people have their own opinions so stop calling the kettle black and for dear whoever-you-believe-in, think before you type. <3 coexist.

  • Beautiful song! Im gonna ignore every single negative comment and just say that this is beautiful. I think it's about herself. I think shes saying she didnt make herself great, but God did. Just my opinion tho. I wish theyd release this to a cd. Cant wait till they tour again!!

  • You have to be a bumbling idiot to not understand that this song is about giving God all the glory for everything she has accomplished. "It is not something for which I can take a bow, I can't take glory for something that I can't be." I cannot comprehend how one would interpret this song to have anything to do with abortion.

  • @Korsyka777 thank you have some sence

  • why the fuck is your account name w3hrmacht ?omg

  • Anyway.... on what album is this song? :)

  • @w3hrmacht hey where did you get this song? What album was it on and where can i get it- i would prefer to buy it if possible?

  • now i get your logic, but let me ask you this. how can you explain "I just Held the pen that Day" And Any Flyleaf fan would know that she didn't mean it in a perverted way

  • I love this band! I met them and they are such nice and humble people.

  • Some of youpeople are idiots! The song is about getting an ABORTION!! you should stop and think logically. But, it's against the catholic faith to THINK RATIONALLY!! That's why I hate religious people, sometimes! Some of them make good arguments, while the really ignorant ones make the same bullshit arguments! THINK for yourselves! Don't let some bullshit think for you!

  • @DKfan87 Well now I know Flyleaf have at least one other fan capable of thinking rationally. You've made my day.

  • @pjonesyltf. Ahh. So, it makes you happy to know that I can think. A friend of mine told me about the message of this song. I'm actually not Catholic, anymore. I listen to other music and form my own interpretation of what the song's are trying to tell you. I'm using the one thing that MOST religious people don't use often, my brain!

  • @DKfan87 wait how its this about abortion? i thought it was about how people praise her for her songs but the only reason she got here was because of gods grace. i don't see the logic it the abortion thing

  • @crdgirl1. It's real simple. Listen to the song and also read the lyrics carefully. You'll see my logic.

  • @DKfan87 ummmmmmmmmmmmm well i think its about not takeing credit for this her god did it and i see what they mean but this lyric "of all the art i supposdly creat is simply a faded reflection of something hes allready made see your arguement is abolished

  • @4evaflyleaf. Never mind. You obviously aren't thinking real hard if you think that god would've had anything to do with a girl getting pregnant and simply not wanting the child. The song clearly is about abortion and some of you weak-minded individuals don't have the wits to see it. In other words, a boyfriend got the girl pregnant and now she wants an abortion! It's SIMPLE!!! Even a fucking RETARD like me understands the truth behind the lyrics. GOD does not EXIST!!

  • @DKfan87 Hey Dont get mad :-) we're just all listening to good music here. I think you have a really creative interpetation, mine's different, but that doesnt mean yours is wrong. I'm Christian but you dont have to be. I mean either way it's a great song right? I mean do you think it is? ( Honestly asking a question not being rude, I seriously want to know :-)

  • @reagannettles. Well, that's true. It is a good song. I do have their first album. I wouldn't comment on such a good band If I didn't like them. And Yes, We're all entitled to our own opinion of what this song's message is. Well, I was a catholic (before I reached the age of being able to rationally think) Now I'm a Pagan, but I still like this band and her singing abilities. I don't disagree with your opinion at all. At least you're thinking. Unlike some Christians I know.

  • @DKfan87 You can't be a pagan and not believe in God at the same time because paganism is a polythestic religion. Pagan is a word that latins/romans use to call all other people with different religion than their's. It is kind of like how jews call people who aren't jews gentiles. So basically you can be a athiest(i used to be one),agnostic, or even gnostic if you believe theres some kind of source of creator. Share the knowledge. =D

  • @xxkarinaaxx. Well, you do have a point. Sometimes, I don't know what to believe. So, I turned to Norse mythology and it helps me just get through the day.

  • @xxkarinaaxx. Well. You have a point there. I'm not gonna disagree with that logic.

  • @DKfan87 oh i see why you are argueing about and i did not mean god ment for her to have an baby or whatever andeven if he dosent exsist THEY wrote the song its what THEY belive not you its a SONG an and it dose not take much to deisfer this song to tell the truth

  • she used to be athiest you know until she found god ii love u lacey!!!! Flyleaf is amazing

  • its about her being a good singer and how it isnt her doin its gods :)

  • @venuslynn29 also her and her bands songs, they didnt write them god did

  • FLYLEAFF i miss u :)

  • Flyleaf is just plain amazing "nuff said:)

  • i think the song is about fame and like and how its not her talent is gods... i dontknow if im right or wrong but its just my thoughts

  • @majik13matt me too totally. i was reading the comments to see if anyone was thinking the same :)

  • if u dnt like the song dont listen to it -.-

  • <3 #FTW

  • 20 people love hitler

  • @XxEmosoul91xX That's a little harsh :/

  • @XxEmosoul91xX Hahahahahaha....oh snap!!!!

  • The meaning to this song alone is awesome but song nd work

  • What makes me sad is that if people know that this band is a alternative metal band, they just turn right around and don't even give it a chance.... its all just pop and rap now..

  • 1481 likes compared to a measly 19 dislikes. Ain't that awesome!!?

  • Ich muss es die ganze zeit hören.. es ist so schön *--* ♥

  • adore this song <3<3<3

  • i love this they should be more famous than any pop singer or rap artist

  • People who dont like Flyleaf needda get the heck offa here.. God is great:D

  • Holy Flyleaf. Like A Prophet they sing....heck I'm not even christian they bring everyone together.

  • you bring me closer to God <3

  • It makes me want to scream " I DON'T DESERVE THIS" even if I don't have a specific thought.

  • amazing song

  • gosh...I love comments on flyleaf videos :D

  • I love this song, its one of my faves. I can definently relate to it. Lacey's pretty much saying in the song that she doesnt deserve all the credit for the music she writes. That God gifted her with the ability and that she's using it to praise him, espicially since most/all of Flyleafs songs have religious bases, if not striaght out praising him. I can definently relate to this song in perticular because I love 2 write, and Im thankful tht God gave me this gift.

  • This is the first time hearing it..and i fell in love with it.. 

  • I must admit that this song is the greatest. What isnt the greatest is seeing a long list of religious debates. I almost wish in all of flyleaf's songs people would stick to posting why they like them or that they indeed do like them or dislike them. I dont care what it is without the long list of religion attached to it. Anyhow this is such a beautiful song for people not to like it.

  • Dude, thats too many people hating on the song. -_- this song, is without a doubt the most beautiful thing to ever grace my ears :3

  • You know whats great? music. music is great. what is also wonderful is going through life without knowledge of any real questions. we stumble around in the dark until we die and see the light. then we will get it all, or perhaps we won't care. i know i don't really care whats next. whatever it is, it is. just listen to the music.

  • @frozenlolo don't be all hating on me for this, but I find it interesting what you just said and what proverbs says, you pretty much quoted it. Pro 4:19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.

  • amazing *__________*

  • Truly inspirational.....beautiful.

  • first time i´ve heard this song i was crying

  • Comment removed

  • וואו', שיר מדהים.

    כמה ענווה יש בחברי הלהקה המדהימה הזו.

    WOW , It's a beautifu‎l creation.

    Flyleaf, you are amazing.

    How much modesty.

    There was so much power in simple words and a strong faith.. !!! You are the best band.

  • @FACEMELTED hey i cant spell sew me haha i know i know haha that litraly made me smile and allmost laugh haha and tell your 3rd grade english teacher sorry for me hahah mine is probly shakeing her head now

  • I wish they had released this song.

  • @Brucev7 god bless you spred what god can do for the lost and saved alike

  • @4evaflyleaf spread* BTW, that wasn't from god, that was from my 3rd grade English teacher.

    =)

  • I-3this!

    Flyleaf4ever:)

  • and all the art that i supposedly create is simply a faded reflection of something He's already made....

  • i know im gonna get some bad feedback off this but.........EVANESCENCE ROCKS!!!

    still this band i really awesome and i will be looking out 4 them :)

    and btw y so much ppl compare flyleaf with evanescence?????

  • What CD Is This On, Also What CD Is There For You On?

  • @Beeboplily "there for you" is on the album called "Flyleaf" its their first album i think

  • @neonskecther lol thats so random to say on a flyleaf song...

  • @neonskecther

    They're incomparable. Just because they both have female singers. I love evanescnce, but flyleaf also capture my heart, for 10000 different reasons..

  • i'm in love with Evanescence and fell in love with Flyleaf after hearing Again and All Around me and this song is something really amazing i feel really sorry for ppl who listen to JB when bands like this exist

  • @sandronikuradze couldnt agree more

  • How can a song this beautiful and amazing have 15 dislikes? Can someone please fill me in on who cannot absolutely love this song? <3 <3 <3

  • @codyANNABLE trolls and haters

  • @codyANNABLE Simple these people just don't like the genre...that's why they don't bother to understand.. its a pity for them

  • @codyANNABLE Maybe this retards don't like the noise

  • @codyANNABLE only idiots would dislike this song! i think this is truly an inspirational song

  • @codyANNABLE maybe she should take credit for the things she does? making yourself smaller than you are because of a guess(existence of a higher being) is quite stupid if you ask me.

  • @codyANNABLE it's probably the same person, making a lot of youtube accounts

  • @codyANNABLE the idiots who wanna fight about religion bc they have no life :)

  • flyleaf you keep doing what you do i believe you are doing this for the right reasons and that is for gods kingdom. you are a amazingly talented band. keep on rocking!!!!!!!

  • i love this song. you know flyleaf almost quit because someone told them they did this for themselves not God. This song TOTALLY proves that wrong! Flyleaf keep on shining!

  • i love this song. you know flyleaf almost quit because someone told them they did this for themselves not God. This song TOTALLY proves that wrong! Flyleaf keep on shining!

  • omg i agree rio322479 !!!

  • Amazing!

    Cristiano, Brazil!

    Cristiano, Brazil...

  • so much better them memento mori's songs

  • lacey mosley is undeniably beautiful...inside and out...a woman of exceptional profundity.....got it...lolz

  • I think this song is simply perfect

  • i love this song! i listen to it over and over again...its so beautiful:)

  • Since the first time i heard this song i fell in love with it

  • Flyleaf makes me question my beliefs...

  • @LivinMyWorldx3 in a good way or bad way?

  • @MusicLover3359 I guess good lol 

  • <33

  • i can relate ... this song always relaxes me but gets me thinking all over again

  • yes this song is about how THEY dont deserve all the fame and praise god dose and i do think they think they should have the popularity becsuse they breeng that mutch more people to god

  • "Is simply a faded reflection of something He's already made." I never though so in depth about that before! :D

  • Thanks for posting this vid. This is a very beautiful song. I can see why so many people are talking about this band. I saw them live in Anchorage but didn't really get it...it was so freakin loud I couldn't make out what she was singing... but this is a very beautiful song indeed!

  • one of my favorite flyleaf songs!

  • I remember coming here just a year ago saying how I believed in God and how I liked how lacey isn't exactly begging for attention here. I still do. I like that she isn't after fame & money but that her music means something. but I no longer feel the kind of connection between myself and her that made me gush over it because I actually felt exhausted by trying to "follow God" and all that. it was like every little freakin thing I did was a mistake. still love flyleaf, though. always will. <3

  • i wish Flyleaf would still perform in heaven.. i know they will surely go there.. :D

  • I forgot all about this, I remember I first found Flyleaf and this was one of my faves from them, how could i forget it D: I love Flyleaf <3

  • It's about how she thinks she doesn't deserve all this praise because god put the words in her head and she wrote then down and made it a song.

  • what doesn't she deserve?

  • @leafclash i think that she wants to say that she doesn't deserve the glory, perhaps, the popularity[?] they have.. that we should glorify God and not Flyleaf... that's what i'm thinking about this song.. i hope it has helped you.. :]

  • I'm not religious- at all. Yet, I love Flyleaf. :)

  • @MiriKeG Not about religion. About seeking Jesus as Lord of your life. Seeking peace, love and righteousness for eternal life in Christ.

  • i think this song is about all the songs they make and everything they do is powered by god and without him they would be nothing hence the lines "but i dont have anything good enough to say i did not make my self this way"and the song is named penholder they are saying that when they make the songs its god not them hence the line "ill show you what he did but i wont take the credit its not mine anyway i just held the pen that day"

  • they sing flyleafs songs in heaven ^_^

  • Am I the only one trying to figure out how people are trying to claim that flyleaf isn't Christian/ don't sing about God ESPECIALLY after they listen to this song??

  • @The19Stars i know right?!? I find God in every one of their songs. It's amazing and sad at the same time because our eyes have been opened by Him, but they are still blind.

  • @The19Stars Flyleaf is the perfect mix between christian rock and the others, whoever wants to see it as christian, does. Whoever dosen''t , the does not. its kinda simple =D

  • this song is so beautiful.. about how she is just doing gods will not her own, and god is the one you REALLY need to think. about how without god she wouldnt be anything wonderfull, and SHE, the part of her that is the sinner, doesnt deserve any of gods gifts, but god makes her equal with him by jesus's blood, so she can be perfect and do gods works :)

  • i think its CRYING over me and not CRAWLING over me... as in god/jesus weeps over you leaving him and turning to sin and being separated from him for eternity in hell

  • I LOVE FLYLEAF!!

  • I adore this band, and this song. Before, I was feeling kinda lost and was slowly losing my faith but when i found flyleaf i instantly fell in love with their music. 1 day i actually paid attention to the lyrics of their songs i just felt so touched and it made me want to be a better christian

  • I love this song. Every time I'm in denial about ANYTHING i listen to this song to remember that GOD loves me

  • I relate to this song I relate to most Flyleaf songs I love Lacey's music it speeks to me

  • uh...huh well what ever u guys say...o.o? I love the song thx for posting :P.

  • her voice..

    to great to have words for<3

  • OMG!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!

  • @ rio322479 u r sooooo right!!!!

  • i cant find any of their complete EP torrents, D': help....

  • Relates to me in many ways and I remember being so depressed and when I left someone who was very special to me I felt selfish and depressed

  • They seriously need to release this so I can have it on my iPod. It's such a beautiful song.

  • A real beauty of a song.. stirs up many thoughts.

  • At first, I thought this song was about abuse "I'll show you what he did, but I won't take the credit" but know I think it's about what 'He' did. I guess... XD

  • @allforheavymetal i did too!!! until i looked it up!!! wow!! we kinda think the same!! lol!!! (btw im a dork..so that explains this comment :P)

  • Haha ur not a dork! lol

  • @allforheavymetal oh but i am!!! but im loving it!!

  • This song isn't on iTunes...i am a little depressed now.

    I forgot Penholder for four years! It just hit me tonight.

  • I love this band! if i could by every Flyleaf song i would

  • this song sounds like me. weird and creepy. cool

  • Something is wrong with your girlfriend then. She might want to see the lyrics this is about how God saved her from a terrible life she was living and she doesnt "deserve this".

  • @derblainkris

    Are both of you like... 10?

  • @derblainkris shhhh! listen to flyleaf. how can it make your gf turn emo? listen to the lyrics. she's talking about how she doesn't deserve Jesus's love and forgiveness when she sinned and He died for ALL of OUR sins. she says she basically held the pin when they nailed Jesus to the cross because they were ignorant and cruel and sinners. sooo.....how can your gf turn emo for a christain song?? LOL, people should really listen to lyrics besides how its sounds.

  • This is beautiful.

    So unselfish, and amazing.

    A true inspiration :)

  • @xyourxruinx i know! I love this song! It has actually helped me feel less depressed about stuff going on in my life right now.

  • my fv flyleaf song!

  • Comment removed

  • where can I go to buy a copy of this song?

  • I so told you to write that matty.

  • Thanks louise :)

  • hey matty? do you not find it in the ramifications of hypocrite to m
