I heard a new song by Sheryl Crow the other day (OK, I don't really know if it's new; it's just the first time I heard it. But that's beside the point), and I liked it so much I decided to look the lyrics up. I thought it sounded almost like a Christian song, and that intrigued me. Upon looking up the lyrics, it was confirmed. Here they are:
The Light In Your Eyes Something is happening Everything's different but everything is fine This is the good stuff Yesterday's only what you leave behind It's only in your mind
You gotta talk to the One who made you Talk to the One who understands Talk to the One who gave you all the light in your eyes All the light in your eyes
No use pretending You never existed until you saw the light You're just beginning You have the mistakes all ahead of you And you know what to do
You gotta talk to the One who made you Talk to the One who understands Talk to the One who gave you all the light in your eyes All the light in your eyes
Here comes the world and she is beautifully mysterious She's got it all and you say 'give it to me'
Nobody's happy That's not the world I know inside Everybody hides
You gotta talk to the One who made you Talk to the One who understands Talk to the One who gave you all the light in your eyes All the light in your eyes
You gotta talk to the One who loves you Talk to the One who understands Talk to the One who gave you all the light in your eyes All the light in your eyes
Yeah, thank you thank you! Yeah, everything great and small Yeah, thank you thank you! For the light in your eyes For the light in your eyes
I hadn't heard anything about her being an outspoken Christian, so hearing this was a treat. It's also a really good song, and we could use a few more of those. Of course, I pretty much like all of Sheryl Crow's songs.
