Permanet By David Cook

You know I heard this long that last day on American Idol in 2008 but the lyrics didn't hit me until tonight as I was studying culture for one of my classes. The lyrics are powerful and amazing to me in many different ways. When I got online I read that he dedicated this song to his brother who died from cancer. So many times in life I believe we forget that we serve a God who is permanet through all the steps and events in our life.

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?

Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry

And everything, it will surely change

Even if I tell you I won't go away today



Will you think that you're all alone

When no one's there to hold your hand?

When all you know seems so far away

And everything is temporary, rest your head

I'm permanent



I know he's living in hell every single day

And so I ask, oh God is there some way for me to take his place?

And when they say it's all touch and go

I wish I could make it go away but still you say



Will you think that you're all alone

When no one's there to hold your hand?

When all you know seems so far away

And everything is temporary, rest your head

I'm permanent, I'm permanent

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?

Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry
