An Unexpected Red Light

Nothing feels better than driving freely at your own pace, but eventually you come to a light. Red lights force you to stop. if you don't stop you run the risk of getting hit or hitting another. Although sometimes frustrating, red lights give you a moment to pause, look around, take in your surroundings, and just be. Red lights throw me off of my schedule, and make me think i will be even later. But whose time schedule am I on? My stops at red lights sometimes hurt, but I am always retrospectively grateful for them and the One who changes the light from yellow to red. Its time to step on the brake, gain some perspective, change the radio station, roll down the windows...and find JOY while im stopped at an unexpected red light.

It isn't the middle of the night,
it isn't even raining outside,
it isn't exactly what I had in mind

Im at a red light,
in the sunshine,
on a sunday,
nothing to say, dont even try.
some are coming home,
some are leaving town,
while my world crashing down,
on a Sunday,
in the sunshine,
at a red light.

Theres a momma calming down a baby in the backseat, in front of me,
Theres an old man dressed in his sunday best just waiting on green,
but I want to get past...

This red light,
in the sunshine,
on a sunday,
nothing to say, dont even try.
some are coming home,
some are leaving town,
while my worlds crashing down,
on a sunday... in the sunshine ...at a red light.
