Standing on the rooftops

I mentioned this song a few posts ago when I was gushing about Lost Prophets and my fav song from them, 'A Town Called Hypocrisy'. I like 'Rooftops' too, but for quite a different reason. Other than fact that it's one of those songs where I like to hide in my room, crank up the volume and pretend to be a rock star on air guitar, everytime I listen to it, two lines in the song always get me...


"Will we make our mark this time? Will we always say we tried?"


Lost Prophets is not a Christian band. This is not a Christian song. But every time I listen to this song and hear those lyrics, it does make me wonder... am I making a mark to the people around me? Am I always going to say I tried to be better Christian, but couldn't?

As I start a new job and look back on how I was in my old company, I think I didn't make much of a mark at all. I bitched about the annoying colleague like everyone. I didn't make much of an effort to get know the people around me. I went into and left the company as skillfully and silently as a ninja, and was only close to a couple of people, though now that I've left I know I probably won't really keep in touch with them. Yeeargh.

I hope and pray that I don't go ninja in my new company.
