Vultures

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.
