"I'm looking for someone to change my life. I'm looking for a miracle in my life"

These are some inspiring lyrics, from a song I'm quickly fallen in love with. The song was written by Mr. Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues and the song is Question, which can be found on the CD A Question of Balance. I recommend any of their lovely CDs to you. They are a band whose music is completely timeless. You can't date their songs back to the years that they were recorded.

Here are the complete lyrics to Question....

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cause when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you

I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me through

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she's waiting there for me
But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose

I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our soul
It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me
It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war
'Cause when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door


I've send out all the information to everyone participating in the CD Swap. If you didn't get the email or have any questions, email me! Thanks so much to all of you that participated. Hopefully we'll be able to do this again soon. I know you all know how much I love making mix cds!

Oh and you can expect to hear Mr. Hayward on the mix that I'm sending.
