The Call

A song I really like is called "The Call" by Regina Spektor. If you have seen The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, you will recognize it as the song that accompanies the final scene.

I like the part about the feeling to hope to quiet thought to quiet word to battle cry (beginning), because it reminds me of God's word in my life. I also like how it says "no need to say goodbye" because I'm always awkward about goodbyes, feeling like I have to say all I want to say before we part ways. But I've realized that it never is goodbye forever - it's always "see you later."
I also like the part that says: "It's just a feeling and no one knows yet, But just because they can't feel it too, Doesn't mean that you have to forget, Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes..."

You can listen to it free online, but I think you have to purchase the entire Prince Caspian soundtrack if you want to purchase the song on iTunes. Hope you get to listen to it sometime!

Here are the lyrics:

The Call - Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
