  • I just want all of you to think hard...he went through al that pain and suffering for us so we would have a chance for eternal life just think we were all damned to hell because were imperfect and start living for him because he paid the ultimate price for you yes you

  • 2day isnt how i thought my life would have been

  • In drama class, Im assigned to make a music video to this song with pictures. I really want the pictures I take to have really deep meaning in them. Im taking pictures of my classmates. Any help with the picture lyrics? Thanks :)

  • hey 'theGhilliSniper' as a believer you shouldn't be antagonistic towards anyone who doesn't believe, god gave us free will for a reason. he wanted us to choose to love him, not have it forced upon us, and by you saying that if we don't believe we don't belong on this world then your just going against everything that god stands for man

  • I always say I have no life. well, I'm gunna try to change that. With God's help my life will be to put the past behind me and God before me :) following him.......into eternity

  • this reminds me of portal 2 anyone els? the music does anyway.

  • I'm not. But i'm going to work like hell to get it back. By this time next year, I will be HAPPY again!

  • The only thing that i disagree with in this song is that we should not be who WE want to be. We should be who GOD wants us to be.

  • Comment removed

  • @Frenrey Wow thanks. That was alot of help.

  • @uniquesoccerstar I couldnt agree more!!!!

  • @uniquesoccerstar so i will just give up all my dreams to be what a "god" tells me to be? well time to set my dreams aside and start another crusade. i swear fucking religon

  • @TheGhilliSniper Yeah um so you don't believe in God then get off his world and for the people who disagree with this comment get off of his world go find your own you don't deserve whtat he gave you

  • @zezimapwnerman If you really are a believer, act like one. Christ didn't die for the rightous, he died for the sinners. 

  • @TheGhilliSniper But God wants the very best for you. He has a dream for you that is bigger and better than anything you could every dream up. But remember, God gave you your dreams, so your dream is probably somewhere in His dream.

  • @uniquesoccerstar you are fucking nuts you know that

  • @TheGhilliSniper Ouch. You must be pretty hurt inside....

  • @uniquesoccerstar and why is that?

  • @TheGhilliSniper cause you want to put other people down. plus, i can tell just by your comments that you are really bitter inside.

  • I love this song!!! It really gets me going. The only question i have is 'what if i don't know who i want to be.?'

  • @uniquesoccerstar

    I feel the same. Hopefully one day we will know.

  • I heard that at church 2day!

  • Are you who you wanna be? :)

  • Don't close your eyes......Don't close your eyes... This is your life!

  • crank it up...

  • Oh Sooooo Good!!! :D

  • Wow I'm impressed. I haven't seen any huge arguments in the comments. Good job peeps

  • @TMAbassist Shhh, you'll jynx it!

  • For the people who are like: 'Yea this is my life, problem?'

    ....

    Exactly.

  • @FearlessandProud

    What do you mean?

  • Charmed brought me here. :) <3

  • @gagahusband Charmed, as in....the show about the three witches?

  • @LadyXenoAcid yep. I heard it in an episode from season 7 and was like what a great song... :)

  • @gagahusband Oh awesome. Maybe I should buy the dvds of all the seasons because that was a great show anyways lol and would love to see how that episode had this song.

  • @LadyXenoAcid Go hard- do it. I got their Book of Shadows with all of the discs in all of the pages. That series- I'm not even finished- still stuck in middle of season 7! It's so great though- just listening to this song and thinking about it gives me goosebumps. It's honestly an artistic masterpiece to me; it stretches beyond just being witches kicking the ass of all Evil; it's about going out there, doing what you want for YOUR LIFE, and accepting and loving yourself for who u R

  • @LadyXenoAcid walmart.com/ip/10238127

    Treat yourself :)

    When my ma got it for me 3 years ago for Christmas it was like $192 at Target as I recall when I looked at it that winter, longingly, lol, so go get it for cheaper now

  • @gagahusband o awesome ^^ i'll save up for it =]

  • @LadyXenoAcid Good :)) You won't regret it.

  • Think about it...no, really

  • i love. ! :} 

  • Yes, this is my life. Problem?

  • @BlackPhoenix00280 ? No one said you were living youre life wrong, its just a song lol

  • I didn't know this song was about God and that this band was Christian. I am not a believer in the God that Christian's believe in, but I took a lot from this song. This song reaches out, for me, about a simple question that everyone can ask themselves. There is a lot of message to be taken out of it.

  • @lowens6001 not until I divorce one.

  • aye

    

  • Psalms 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. "

  • This is my senior song it was just decided today. Interesting to me I have never even heard of Switchfoot before

  • I hear all this talk of God from this song. That's cool, but take the song for what it is. Don't wait on anyone no matter who they are to change your life, change it yourself. (:

  • @Pareod375 Uhm, you do know that Switchfoot is a Christian band right? And this is a Christian song? =) lol, of course a lot of people will talk about God from this song, it being Christian music and all. =P Lol.

  • @mabuhaykc214 Yeah I know, just suggesting a different way of looking at their music. I found out about them over the radio a while back before finding out they're christian.

  • @Pareod375 Haha alright. But I'm pretty sure the band wanted Christ to be glorified and seen through this song, given that they are Christian and all. But if you'd like to put someone other than Him in the center, no one is stopping you. =)

  • @k2sonicfan: neighbor and my dad have alot in common... see the dog got hit sad thing my dad got to know our neighbor good thing......... God is amazing and we wont ever comprehend why he does things until we reach him.... When our day comes.. This is coming from a 13 year old.. lol

  • @K2SonicFan: God does some weird things and we want to know why he does them. But its not our job to know its our job to try to figure it out but not to know.. I saw god at work yesterday. A dog got hit by a car and one of our neighbors brought the dog over here in my yard to see if we knew what to do. So my dad went out there and started talkingto our neighbor then my step aunt went out there and kept the dog clam while we were waiting for our other neighbor the dogs owner. It turns out the

  • No, I'm not who I want to be .. YET

  • In the runnings for our class Song!

  • I made a broadcasting video with this song and now its all everyone talks aboutXD spreading switchfoot to my messed up middle skool. WE ARE RAMBLEWOOD MIDDLE!!!!

  • Can I marry a song...?

  • @lowens6001 its your life... teehee

    

  • @lowens6001 if people can marry songs they would be pimps! lol

  • @lowens6001 I'll support the wedding lol

  • I love this song sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!

  • In order to be accepted at this youth group, I have to be someone I'm not, So bad that I left, Because I kept going through mess, I mean, I got pushed into a wall and someone lifted a fist at me, And I have to have muscles, And Only to be hated more cause I don't have alot of body strength(I do have somewhat of a build), But GOD I WANNA BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE!

  • @K2SonicFan Then go to a different youth group! That doesn't sound like a youth group centered around God.

  • @K2SonicFan @K2SonicFan I'm sorry your youth group treated you like that. That's not right. Keep looking, you'll find a church that aprreciates & loves you for who you are. I just started going to a youth group, and i don't even go to church at the church where i go to youth group. Do you go to a church? Just keep reading the bible & praying. I will be praying for you too.<3

  • @cami89432 I go to a church, But the Kids can be pretty mean at the Church I went to, I just had to go on a trip with my old youth group to see them without the mask, People in leadership want me back, But I don't wanna go back! I'm thinking about going to another youth group that is welcoming, Even the Lead pastor welcomed me! And I haven't been there alot... Anyway, thanks for praying for me... But It's hard to leave the place I grew up in(I was at this place since I was an Infant...)

  • @K2SonicFan Well I'm sorry .. Keep trusting God, he'll lead you in the right direction (:

  • LOVE This Song!! I Used to hear it all the time when I worked at Pet Land!! It always put a smile on my ugly face!!

  • Yeah... I think I've commented on this song before... and about the countless tears it has so easily drawn from my eyes... wondering, despairingly, how I could have fucked it all up so terribly. *sigh*...

    Funny though, I kinda miss the sweet fade-out?

    Great song. IMPORTANT song... which, to me, is just about the highest compliment anyone could give to a piece of music.

  • i love this song!!!! my geometry teacher plays it every day :D

  • My life continues to be a work in progress, but I love were I have arrived so far!!-WT 

  • charmed.

    

  • Are you who you wanna be?

    The plays would be at 1 mil+ if drunk bastards like me didn't keep restartin the song before it ended

  • dope!!

  • thanks uploader!

    

  • whoa.

  • I don't necessarily agree with the techno style of music, but Switchfoot made it work. This song is AMAZING.

  • *:)

  • Love this song its awesome ;(

  • this song is never old...it's a constant reminder that this is my life and i will live it for GOD!

  • this song has made me realize its time to stop partying every day and to grow up and find a real girl that i can see myself with and im only 18 i started drinkin way to early its time for me to grow up

  • Life is NOTHING like I dreamed it would be like, but you have to make the best of it, you know? Even though I haven't been doing the greatest job of thanking God for evrything that's good in my life and I've been focusing on the negitive things, I'm still so thankful for what I have. I have a roof over my head, a wonderful family counting my sis- in- law, and food on the table. Thank you God for everything you've done in my life. :)

  • @cw67897890 ur 100% right, even life is crap, it could be worst. I have always hated my life cause everyone hates me (im being legit) and I didnt chose this life, God only did. But even though its crap I can look it in a good way like it could be worst.

  • Chanson géniale avec des paroles profondes (pour ceux qui les comprennent)

    Super groupe.

    Respect

  • I am not necessarily who I want to be, but I cannot be who I want to be at this point in my life. I /will/ and /am/ working towards my goals - one day I WILL succeed. All those people who have and are doubting me will see that they were wrong - so very, very wrong.

  • aww i remember listening to this YEARSSS ago.. brings back memories

  • Switchfoot will always be my favorite band of alltime. Not only for their music but for their heart. Jon Foreman is my rolemodel

  • i love the synth bassline

  • I could have sworn that this song didn't sound like this... what the hell...

  • @27blueskies yes i am who i want to be don't tell me otherwise. Shooting for NFL

    and well, yeah...

  • @MegaFaithful101 yer lyin!

  • Go Switchfoot!

  • love this song!!!!!

    

  • why cant i find that certain song i heard on the radio while my baybe ham easts ma pants?

  • amazing song

  • How is this christian music?

  • @bambaloo22 How is it not?

  • @bambaloo22 Switchfoot is considered Christian, because they are, but they never directly state anything about Jesus or God, they do this so they can have more songs on the mainstream radio stations.

  • @sgtguy1 ohh okay i get it

  • u know u have a good life now joe take care of it ok just trust me stay with her ok

  • I found this song from charmed

  • -34 people should be switched for +34 with a foot!

  • @loveful35 sounds fishy

  • i really love this song it's a really great song

  • still a great song

  • can people stop answering to the lyrics? >.>

  • The only problem is if your a christian then this isn't your life it's Gods and you should be more concerned with are you who he wants you to be.

  • @corey6516 I think its still your life, your just living it for Him :), your still important though and what you want as well, cause He believes you are important. (you might not get what you wanted, but Gods love is better anyway)

  • Yes. This is who I want to be.

  • meh luv it sooooo much!!!

  • Damn times change.

  • My favorite music is Christian music, and my favorite song is Switchfoot's "This Is Your Life." Every time I hear it, it fuels my inspiration to make a positive difference in the world.

  • @eastariel christian music is also myfavorite music XD and i like how other people like it too

  • Great song by a great group

  • i will never know what the pizza guy pervert said hmm sad ^_^

  • one of the best songs ever period

  • I think this song is very visually attractive because the lyrics are there and I love the lyrics <3

  • really makes u think. I love this song

  • the beginning.... it's on a completely different level than the est of the song.

  • @pizza0510 EHW PERVERT

  • @pizza0510 what the fuck is wrong with u man lol i bet u have no life

  • I have just found out that I want to try and start living my life for God. This song has made me realize that I am not truly who I want to be and I have been trying to live a fake life. Thank you God and Switchfoot for this :)

  • @skateboarding Switchfoot has changed my life too, specifcally Jon Foreman. Music can do alot in peoples life. Through them we find Him

  • Love this song!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  • I realized that a long time ago, and now I'm becoming into who I wanna be. I love myself, but I'm becoming exactly who I'd never thought I'd be...and I'm proud of that.

    BE WHO YOU want to be, no mattter what, DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE TRY TO CHANGE YOU!

  • @MarinasLittleAngel exactly right. Hell, I'm doing that myself as we speak..........

  • Liek this if Your going to the Concert at Frontier City on the 30th<3

  • @augustalovesu In Oklahoma City?

    

  • @friendofthefoot22 Yup yup. That one.

  • Heard this on air1

    Didn't know it was Switchfoot and so old.

    Good stuff...

    Thanks for posting.

    ;0)

  • @codmomentz I give up. Im too old for this crap

  • @codmomentz I wasn't trolling, you butthurt moron

  • i love swichfoot

  • people need to be more tolerant of other peoples beliefs.....world would be a lot brighter. this song has a meaning, how you interpret it is your own doing. just saying - a fellow christian

  • this is class of 2011's song at graduation :D

  • @patmon1293 MINE TOO!

  • @patmon1293 I'm soooooo jealous that you guys had this as your song!!! Ours was "Photograph" by Nickelback.......HORRIBLE CHOICE and totally not mine!!! Graduation is suppose to mean something special and how special are you treating it when it's represented by a Nickelback song?! But THIS......THIS IS REAL MUSIC WITH REAL MEANING!! Hats off to you!!

  • @jakeweerez I know right, this song is perfect

  • @patmon1293 It was played at my graduation too. Class of 2011 We rock!!!!

  • A lot of people hate Christianity but it's their choice if they don't wanna change

  • <333333

  • This whole album has good messages in life.  That is not christianity, or any other religion. that is just being a good human being and hoping others want to jump on board. As did the beatles, and bob marley. I feel like they are the jesus christ of our time. just another person promoting peace and goodwill.

  • LOVE this song! Go Switchfoot ;)

  • @DylanNes Jeez dude, calm down. 

  • @DylanNes god or no god I don't claim to know the answer and thats all. I just think that people in the world who say negative things like what you said doesn't help make the world any better. this is your life and your world. Is it everything you dreamed it would be when you were younger.

  • @DylanNes thats just wrong and rude.

  • @bobrusable It's right and sue me

  • Hmm, I guess Switchfoot is a Christian rock band judging by all the comments.

    I can't say I appreciate this song for any Christian meaning, being non-religious myself, but I sure do appreciate this awesome music (all respect to any Christian and religious peoples though)

  • @TheSkookumchuk they dont really label themselves as a christian band (although they do say they are christian) I think they mostly just want to make people think and if it ends up to lead them to christ well then great! But yes quite a good song any way you look at it.

  • @DuckAgent001 I think they try to reach people other than christians with their message, by not being so straight foreward. They ask the questions that need to be asked of these people without "offending" them or scaring them away with a christian label. I think its awesome!

  • But I did jut realize I am going to change but not for god for myself.

  • Their not even a Christian band so what does god have to do with this??

  • @nomnoms562 they are

  • I'm a Christian but I don't really find a Christian meaning to this song.

  • @Slide2671 As sinners we can get caught up in Earthly things and when we focus back on God we can get a new perspective on what we have done in our life. After that ask yourself are ou as close to God as you always claimed? - a fellow Christian

  • @DontJudgeMe777 That's true. It means many things.

    And no, I am not. When it comes to me and God, I've always been a liar about how thankful I am. I am now trying to change that, but it's hard. Thank you for caring.

  • @Slide2671 I care for those God cares for ( which to be honest is very difficult to keep up lol )

  • I'm not who I want to be. But I sure as hell am going to change that.

  • @JesusIsMyRock13 God Bless You.

  • This is my favorite song and band!

  • i absolutly love this song! it really speaks to each and everyone of us and asks: are you really living how you inntended or by how God intended you to live? (well at least thats what i think). anyways God bless.

    p.s. look at my new vid: teensforchrist :]

  • <3 this song (:

  • for me its really hard to change i know i do the wrong things and i try to change believe me i really do try my grades are dropping to and i really need to turn my life around but like i said its hard to change not just for me but even for other people to.

  • this is a very powerful and meaningful song

  • we only live once and we only feel once. the feel is such an amazing thing. explore don't ever close your eyes there will be a time were we close them but no not now life is only the begining :)

  • Hands up if y
