Reading Christine’s post reminded me of a song by Kutless called Down. Here are the lyrics:
A young girl walks into a room
And doesn’t like what she sees
In her reflection there
She’s not what she wants to be
She cries out, she cries out
The frustrations of this life
Are filling her head
How could such a simple thing
Have a grip so intense
She cries out, she cries out
I want to be like the movie stars
And models on the screen
She wants to fly away from this
She wants to fly away from this
But she does not know how to
Fly away from this
She wants to fly away
She tries just to be what she’s not
But she’s destroying herself
She starves herself
This compulsion must end
She cries out, she cries out
I want to be like the movie stars
And models on the screen
She wants to fly away from this
She wants to fly away from this
But she does not know how to
Fly away from this
She wants to fly away
This addiction is bringing her down
This obsession is bringing her down
She wants to fly away from this
Fly away from this S
he wants to fly away from this
But only God knows how to
Fly away from this
He will help her now to
Fly away from this
She wants to fly away
Fly away
The compulsion doesn’t have to be starvation, it can be overeating or it could even be a diet/exercise regimen. Anything that replaces God in our lives is to our destruction ladies. When I hear this song I think about the “ideal” the world would have us striving for all the while shoving Big Macs in our faces at every street corner. With God, we can “fly away” from temptation…obsession…addiction…guilt…..
I like this song
