This song meant a lot to me this morning. Heavenly Father knows what I needed to hear... he must be manipulating my iPod's shuffle function.
Vultures
John Mayer
Some of us, we're hardly even here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from being just a number
How will I hold my head to keep from going under?
Down to the wire
I wanted water
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do, when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
How did they find me here?
What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hanging
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin'
They're tryin to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do, when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
I can't seem to keep these vultures
Out of my trail
Powers is made, by power being taken
So, I keep on running to protect my situation
Down to the wire
I wanted water
But I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do, when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
And to you Mr. Vulture,
It is people like you that make me want to be better... to make the world a better place.
...To give kids hope in life. Don't even try to bring me down.
