believers never die part deux

Singing Hallelujah one more time,
to remind myself that yet another miracle
has just unfolded right before my eyes.
I can already feel it coming.
Lights blinding.
Sound pulsing.
Ground shaking.
Body aching as metal crushes
against my ribs.
In an attempt to breathe,
I push myself back an inch and my arms shake.
Trying to push 10,000 kids back.
Trying to remind myself that those kids,
the diehards and the n00bs,
are there to see the same band I fell in love with.
The same band I rely on day to day.
The same picture I wake up to every morning.
The same song I hear when someone calls me.
The same feeling.
The same boys.
Different music.
And a renewed faith in what I thought I lost.
Welcome back.
We've missed you.
