In the mid nineties, I had a little red Buick and a big ol’ bass box in the trunk, and would listen to “Christian Rock”, cranked to 11.
(What did you say? Huh? Can you say that again, I didn’t hear you….)
I have gotten away from that genre for many reasons, the least of which may be a loss of hearing, but some songs have stuck with me over the decades.
The artist’s I listened to sought to reflect Scriptural teaching for the most part. They ranged from “preaching” pop culture religion to significant theological teaching. As I listened to the lyrics, I found some to be quite challenging.
To be honest, I listened because I could justify the rock beat with “sanctified lyrics”.
Occassionaly I will post a song, supply the lyrics and make a comment or two. If you decide to listen to the tune, turn the speaker down unless you are already deaf. Some of the songs tend to have a certain “volume” about them!
This post will consider the song
Flying – by Grammatrain
Last night I dreamt a strange, peculiar dream
A child slept underneath a great bird’s wing
Laid on the ground where warmth was found
Until he woke and crawled away on hands and knees
Flying in my dream
Flying in my dream
A snake told stories to the child untrue
The child bent down and felt its poison tooth
Started to die, the bird did fly
Swallowed the snake to save the child, and then he died
Flying in my dream
Flying in my dream
The dead bird laid, for three whole days
Then spread its wings and flew away
I woke up early while the sun still slept
This strange dream circulating in my head
Stared at the ceiling, pondered its meaning
The dream would not leave me although I left my bed
Flying in my dream
Flying in my dream
The dead bird laid, for three whole days
Then spread its wings and flew away
In my dream
In my dream
My dream
Take a listen!
Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!
