The lyrics were not pretentious or meant to be crowd-pleasers but they speak of the harsh reality itself, where people tend to avoid or where songwriters would butcher all their depression and hatred into one song, thus forgetting that they were still stepping on solid ground here on Earth.
I won't be posting all the lyrics here but I would like to insert the lyrics for "Does Anybody Hear Her", partly because I am a female and also because the song speaks so much to young people like you and me today, of how easily we can fall into the wrong crowd just because we wanted temporary bliss and pleasure and how we Christians, although we call ourselves one, but we pass judgment in our heart (not to forget eyes) on other people without realising how it can turn that person off towards Christ.
I confess I am one of them and I am ashamed of what I have done. I would like to apologise and ask for forgiveness, to all whom I have snubbed or have been judgmental upon in my life. Lofty glances from lofty people indeed didn't help the world to be reconciled to our Father in heaven.
She is running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying but the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another 2 years older
And she's 3 more steps behind
*Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
She is yearning for shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching for a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away
* repeat
If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlett letter
And we've never even met her
*repeat
He is running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
Children of God, we play a very significant role in this broken world, providing the light of hope and love to the lost in this world. Let us not forget Jesus's commission to us and that people need the Lord as much as we need Him.
