Behind the Lyrics: “Who Will Find Me”

Behind the Lyrics: “Who Will Find Me”

When I originally wrote Who Will Find Me, I thought of it in terms of a love song, unrequited love reaching out to the one who needs her, to the one who has been carried away by the world and it’s distractions from what really matters most, love. She lovingly reaches out to him to come back. In his darkened midnight eyes, she sees the way to create a sunrise in his life. After the lyrics were written, I read through them to make sure they made sense to me. All of a sudden it hit me, this is God’s love song to humanity. I had no idea I had even written it, but it was so evident to me that it was there. We are the lost one and he is reaching out, beckoning us to find the more beautiful life that can only be found in Him. We get lost in the silver winter skies, in the wind and the fire and the midnight. But beyond is a beautiful life and stillness and life in the morning light. This beautiful life, which we can find, is for the now as well as the future. The city of shining light is heaven. And the way God sees us is forgiven, perfect, in a place where the roses bloom whereas we may view ourselves with condemnation and in a dark place. And “who will find me” is just what God says because honestly, no one wants to find Him these days. Everybody has some reason to want to push Him away. I love it when my songs have double meanings. I prefer to write about everything in life, and then let there be these hidden double messages about spirituality, but this song really has a double message without my intentionally putting it there, and when I saw it I was blown away.

Today, I got this in my email inbox and it reminded me of my lyrics to the song so I’ll include the link: http://www.truthforlife.org/site/PageServer?pagename=tls_overview

Who Will Find Me Lyrics
In a world of desire,
oh who would come and catch you when you fall
in the wind and the fire?
oh who would come to save you?
High above any danger…
Locked inside the tower of your mind,
dreams are veiled; passion blinded.
Safe from fear and fire.
Oh who will find me?
In your midnight eyes, I see a summer sunrise.
Fly far beyond these silver winter skies.
I see a beautiful life. Oh, come and get away.
Do you see the horizon?
Walk upon the water, you will find
all is still and yet alive
in the morning light.
Oh who will find me?
In your midnight eyes, I see a summer sunrise.
Fly far beyond these silver winter skies.
I see a beautiful life. Oh, come and get away.
Dance dance in the morning light.
Open your darkened eyes.
Hey, hey, it’s a beautiful day.
It’ll be ok. It’ll be ok.
Take a look, spin around, this is where I find you… where the roses bloom.
Leave your cares, leave your fears, leave them all behind you… yeayah.
It’s a beautiful day in the city of shining light.
It’s a beautiful day. This is where I find you… yeayah
Oh who will find me?
In your midnight eyes, I see a summer sunrise.
Come and get away.
