I'm listening to John Mayer' s 'Gravity' at the moment. Unfortuantely his album Continuum was ruined for me by a short stint of work in a local CD shop while it was big...loop has never had a more literal meaning...
But I like the lyrics of this one...
Gravity is working against me,
and gravity wants to bring me down.
Oh I'll never know, what makes this man
with all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away
Gravity is working against me
and gravity wants to bring me down.
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
and can't sustain like one half could
It's wanting more that's going to send me to my knees
...
Whoa gravity stay the hell away from me,
Whoa gravity has taken better men then me,
How can that be?
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is...
I think the Christian outlook can be a little grim sometimes. We are told to expect suffering, and sometimes I feel unfortunate to have discovered this reality so young- just a lifetime of suffering to look forward to...
But a lifetime too of learning about and from God, and beyond this lifetime, another one to be in his eternal presence. I hope he'll keep me where the light is.
