single- Dear God 2.0 (ft. MOF)
Lyricㄱ
[Intro]
Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, it's so hard to believe it..
But God, I know you have your reasons
[Verse 1]
They said he's busy hold the line please
Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read
Who does the blind lead?
Show me a sign please
If everything is made in China, are we Chinese?
And why do haters separate us like we siamese?
Technology turning the planet into zombies
Everybody all in everybody's dirty laundry
Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis
Terrorist, crime sprees, assaults, and robberies
Cops yellin' stop, freeze
Shoot him before he try to leave
Air quality so foul, I gotta try to breath
Endangered species
And we runnin' out of trees
If I could hold the world in the palm of these
Hands, I would probably do away with these anomalies
Everybody checkin' for the new award nominee
Wars and atrocities
Look at all the poverty
Ignoring the prophecies
More beef than broccoli
Corporate monopoly
Weak world economy
Stock market topplin'
Mad marijuana oxycotton and klonopin
Everybody out of it?
[Hook]
Well I've been thinkin' about
And I've been breakin' it down
Without an answer
I know I'm thinking out loud
But if you're lost and around
Why do we suffer?
Why do we suffer?
(Uh huh)
[Verse 2]
Yeah... It's still me, one of your biggest fans
I get off work
Right back to work again
I probably need to go ahead and have my head exam
Look at how they got me on the Def Jam payment plan
Well, I'm in the world of entertainment and
Trying to keep a singing man sane for the paying fans
If I don't make it through the night, slight change of plans
Harp strings, angel wings, and praying hands
Lord, forgive me for my shortcomings
For going on tour and ignoring the court summons
All I'm trying to do is live life to the fullest
They sent my daddy to you in a barrage of bullets
Why is the world ugly when you made it in your image?
And why is livin' life such a fight to the finish?
For this high percentage
When the sky's the limit
A second is a minute, every hour's infinite
[Outro]
Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, it's so hard to believe it..
오늘 아침 신곡리스트에 올라온 루츠를 보고 오오'를 외치고, 플레이/ 독백에 독한 살이 붙었다.
듣자마자 떠오른 책.
집에오자마자 책장을 뒤적뒤적 - Embracing the Mysterious God' 그래 이거야. 훑훑훑(책 훑는중)
U2는 9.11 테러 이후로 콘서트의 마지막 곡으로 시편40편을 기초로 한 "40"이라는 노래를 자주 불렀다. 한밤에 수만명의 관객들이
그 노래의 후렴을 함께 부른다. "얼마나 오래 이 노래를 불러야 하는가?"
그룹의 리드 싱어 보노는 이렇게 말했다.
"얼마나 오래.. 주리겠습니까? 얼마나 오래.. 증오하겠습니까? 피조물이 성장하여 그 조숙하고 무모한 사춘기의 혼란이 끝날 때까지 얼마나 더 기다려야 합니까? 이상하게도 이러한 질문들을 말로 하고 나면 큰 위로를 얻을 수 있었습니다."
우리는,
이해할 수 없는 세상속에서 일어나는 이해할 수 없는 일들로 하나님을 이해할 수 없다고 말한다.
그리고 떠나거나, 기다린다.
우리가 경험하는 확연한 혼돈 가운데 질서가 있다. 타락한 세상속에도 빛은 있다.
But God, I know you have your reasons
우리는 이유를 모르지만, 그 이유를 알고 계시는 하나님을 우리가 신뢰하는 이유는 알고 있다.

#6 Chicken Fried
lyric┐
You know i like my chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well i was raised up beneath the shade of a georgia pine
And that`s home you know
With sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
Where the peaches grow
And my house it`s not much to talk about
But it`s filled with love that`s grown in southern ground
And a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well i`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love
And its funny how it`s the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There`s no dollar sign on a piece of mind; this i`ve come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise your glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well i`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love
I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
And the ones that gave their lives so we don`t have to sacrifice
All the things we love
Like our chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well i`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love
You know i like my chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well i`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love
오늘,
짧은 점심시간을 ZBB에게 내어줬다.
이들의 이야기를 들으며 후후-미소짓다가, 이야기가 끝나자 후라이드 치킨'이 먹고 싶더군.
You know I like my chicken fried.
