The actual lyrics are "she's gay for one day of comfort" because Lacey was in a lesbian relationship when she went into a mental breakdown and right before she started going to church.
This song was inspired by Layla Palmer, the wife of Kevin Palmer (lead vocalist of Amity Lane, formerly of Trust Company). Layla has a condition called Palindromic Rheumatism, which causes her joints to fill with fluid, leaving her in great pain for months at a time and barely able to move. Despite her struggles she remains productive and positive, and an inspiration to Flyleaf lead singer Lacey Mosley. Said Mosley: "She's an awesome person, and you would never guess in a million years that she has the struggle that she has. Kinda changed my perspective about the way that I complain about things, the way that I wake up sad for no reason, and then she wakes up just glad to wake up." xxxx i have chronic pain and other health problems x love this song and Laceys compassion and awareness xxx
Thank you for sharing this. I have also chronic pain and I have mental health issues. Flyleaf music really makes me feel better. You hang in there💪 I really believe that someday everything is gonna get better❤
Because modern Christians have thrown the Bible away and dedicated their life to attacking other people. Same reason why Lauren Daigle wanted to job the Christian music label. She couldn't do it without so called Christians telling her she was leading a cult, fake, the antichrist and everything else because she went where the need was instead of preaching to the choir. Lacey wants to reach the people that need to here about Jesus and here her testimony. Under the Christian label, she will be kicked out of a job for it because for some reason Christians seem to think that the Christian label means the music needs to be happy Carol's about sunshine and love. She's actually ministering to people, and spreading God's word. Because she's not an artist for Christians. She's an artist for God.
@@greggreg4686 I think you described that perfectly. I AM Aware and will Never forget who i am after begging for Christ again not long ago, wow, I thought I was but now I AM
@Strychnine Echo so many people, christians and non christians, are moved by flyleaf's music and their overall message. they aren't shoving their beliefs down anyone's throats
I LOVE them because there is finally a Christian Band that has a original or unique style into singing these songs I don't think there are many people who realize they are a Christian Band because of the style the way she sings these songs! I LOVE THEM SOOOO MUCH
I heard this was about Layla's chronic pain - palindromic rheumatism. I heard this when I was a kid and loved the sound, and now I'm 23 and after years of thinking I was crazy got diagnosed with a bunch of stuff...and now I am back to this song with a new perspective and it's wild let me tell you
+Cassie Myers The humans at my school are like "MUSICAL.LY" "INSTAGRAM" "POPULARITY" Meanwhile im hiding in the corner flipping most of them off like "nO"
+Cassie Myers I was listening to freedom and it was on high and its all loud and rock-ey and someone on the bus said they could hear it and I'm like "well its better then the pop they play so I'm fine with it"
here's a good tip. it's just something I thought of on my own and have tried and found to work wonders! if you don't know the name of an artist or a song, then Google the lyrics you remember. even if it's not in order or if there are parts you've forgotten, it still works anyways. remember as much of the song as you can and links for the lyrics should come up. click a link of your choice. if it has the name of the song and artist, good for you. if not, click the "back" button to go back and find a different link. continue doing this until you've found the right one. if not then continue til you've reached the last link at the bottom of the Google seach page until you find it. if not then, if you know how to play the song in an instrument then Google the cords or notes. it should come up with notes and cords to the song in links labeled by the song and artist name.
The part that really hits me is "all my complains shrink to nothing I'm ashamed of all my something's she is glad for one day of comfort only because she has suffered" It's really speak to me man
A lot of people think this song is about God, but it isn’t. It’s actually about Layla, a woman Lacey knows who has a condition that renders her bedridden. Yet she is so overflowing with joy and thankfulness when she can get out of bed and go outside and walk around her own home. Lacey did an interview “Lacey Sturm: Wikipedia fact or fiction” where she discussed this. :) Many of her songs ARE inspired by her relationship with God, but just not quite this one.
Kinda agree, Lacey is a woman that I've looked up to since I first heard All Around Me three years ago, in the worst part of my drugs, hate and Atheism, and she's what's brought me through it all to a clean loving start with God. However, no matter where she is, Flyleaf will still have her in it.
I mostly agree, and I'm sure that's how the rest of the band felt when she left. But she made the decision that she felt was best, and the band obviously wouldn't want to just ditch their careers, so they will remain Flyleaf and do their best. I just think that it's kind of selling them short to write off Flyleaf completely without Lacey. The new singer has huge shoes to fill! It's hard to imagine that kind of pressure. Plus the band is mainly the same otherwise, and it never would have been Flyleaf without them either. Lacey alone probably would have been a singer/songwriter or something. I guess I just think that nothing is meaningless, for one, and second, that we should continue to support the band, as they now face challenges with their fan base since Lacey left. Peace Bro
Its 2018 and this band ROCKS! Thank you for being apart of my childhood and the rest of my life. Your band has helped my family. I pray your living a blessed, God given life. ^V^

To my best friend who beat the odds and has a second chance, I love her with all my heart and hope this will show her how much we are glad she is "Fully Alive"
Best friend 🥺 thank you for staying by me and holding me close I’m glad I came back out here and now having you by my side through all my ups and downs
Percy K I would more so say that she has such a unique voice, no one can match it. like. she has a voice you either love or hate. Kirsten has a lovely voice but it's just not as unique as Laceys therefore it lacks that luster it had prior.
I remember when I first heard Flyleaf. I was sleeping and was woken up by I’m so sick on the tv. At first, I was scared, because I was knocked out, but then I was like omg who is this singing. Her voice is amazing!!!
I remember loving this song when it first came out, I was in a really dark place at that time and only focused on my pain. I became an atheist in high school. I knew the words but I never really paid attention to the meaning. I didn’t realize how positive and uplifting this song is. At 18 I was doing the very thing this song was advising against. I’m still an atheist (a less angry one) but have a much different perspective on what’s important in life at 35.
I haven't heard this song in years until the radio recently played it. Last time I heard it I was like 3 or 4. Now I'm 20 and I can finally rest and blast one of the many songs stuck in my head since childhood.
Holy shit dude. Just got off work and hop in the car and this comes on the radio. I'm all like no way bro havent heard this since I was like 16. I'm 23 btw lol
Guys, I hate to break it to you, but it doesn't really look like the "haters" are really doing anything right now. c: Well, meh, Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Potatoes gonna potate, tate, tate, tate.
My friend is going to record me singing this. I'm so scared because I got bullied for my singing by some other girls. I think they were jealous of my singing because I was always singing in grade school. And not to brag but I got in honers chorus and the girls who bullied me didn't make the honers chorus.
I wrote a feature-length screenplay while using this song as inspiration. I've written a lot of scripts, but the one I wrote while jamming to "Fully Alive" is by far the best thing I have ever or will ever write.
