HELLO WORLD - LADY ANTEBELLUM

I am loving this song now. And the lyrics are meaningful. :)

Traffic crawls, cell phone calls
Talk video screams at me
Through my tinted window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face
Got little hands, and she waves at me
Ya, she smiles at me

Hello world
How've you been?
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light little hole
In the little world

Hello world
Every day I drive by
A little white church
It's got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in
Say a prayer
Maybe talk to God
Like he is here
Oh I know he is there
Ya, I know he's there

Hello world
How've you been?
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never going to heal
I see a light
A little grace, a little faith unfurled
Hello world

Sometimes I forget what living's for
And I heave my life through my front door
And I'll be there
Oh I'm home again
I see my wife, little boy, little girl
Hello world
Hello world

All the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world
Hello world
Hello world

Side-note:

SONG MEANING / about this...
- This string-laden song penned by Tom Douglas, Tony Lane and David Lee, is a track from Country music group Lady Antebellum's second album, Need You Now.

- The song talks about seeing God's miracles in life. AOL's the Boot asked LA member Charles Kelley what was the last thing he saw that made him remember that God is here? Kelley replied: "I can put myself in that spot, in the car, just sitting there in traffic absolutely about to explode and all of a sudden you look over and see something as innocent and cute as a child with chocolate on her face. And you go, 'I needed that, in that moment, to relax and remind myself that life is still sweet.'"

- LA member Hilary Scott told Billboard magazine: "That song found us. It was written by Tom Douglas, David Lee and Tony Lane, three of the greatest songwriters in Nashville. The first time I heard it, it wasn't even a pitch for us, it was just a friend saying, 'You need to hear this song.' I loved it, but I didn't even think about it for us. A couple of months later we're sitting in London, Ontario, and we're missing this one song that could round out the record, not about a relationship per se, but something that has a bigger thematic message. I said, 'Guys, I have something, I don't really know if you're going to hear it, but I know it's a beautiful lyric and it's a really well-written song.' I played it for the guys and they flipped."
