Been humming the tune to BORN FREE recently. Thanks to Fujifilm ads from my childhood, I used to see giraffes nuzzling each other, zebras running in the African safari whenever I heard this song. Recently, I was waiting for Ian at the airport when the song took a different meaning all of a sudden. See the text in brackets and italics to get what I mean!
Born free, As free as the wind blows (I found my rebirth in Christ - a born again Christian with the breath of the Holy Spirit blowing in me.)
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart (Born free to follow HIS heart!)
Live free, and beauty surronds you (When we live our newfound freedom in Christ, we see His goodness and His amazing grace surrounding our lives - everything looks beautiful.)
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star (Because I know the Creator and I am still astounded by the huge-ness and beauty of His Creation)
*Stay free, where no walls divide you ( Cling on to Christ, where no walls divide us from our Daddy God anymore)
You're free as a roaring tide (Free to praise Him like the tide when it roars!)
So there's no need to hide (No need to hide from God because we have been made righteous in Christ and have perfect love that casts off all fear!)
Born free, and life is worth living (Living our lives for HIS Glory!!)
But only worth living
Cause you're born free (AMEN TO THAT!!!)
Another song that has taken a whole new dimension is the song "The Rose". Depending on which version you first heard, you will either visualise Bette Midler/ Westlife/ Japanese Voice Actress for one very prominent Jap Animation - forgot the title... singing it. It is a heart song. The sort that reminds you how treasured you are by Daddy God... by our Yeshua.
Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed;
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed;
(The first two stanzas - what worldly, flesh love does to you)
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need;
(There is a God-sized void in al of us that seeks for Him)
I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed......
(Jesus is that one TRUE love, He is the Lily of the Valley and David's seed - God's only true seed)
It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance;
Its the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes the chance;
(These 2 stanzas talk about how we let fear rob us blind!)
Its the one, who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give;
(And how those who won't understand God's unconditional love, who can't seem to give it)
And the soul, afraid of dying, that never learns to live......
(And those who are afraid of dying in the Spirit to their wrong lifestyle, comfort zone and addictions; and being born again in Christ, that never learns what life truly is.)
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long;
(HE is there when you feel too lonely, when you are in the dark, when you are tired from walking the journey.)
And you think that love is only for, the lucky and the strong;
(When you forget how treasured you are compared to the "lucky n the strong" aka The World)
Just remember, in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow...
(Just remember, in the trials you face, no matter how bitter and frosty it gets)
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love,in the spring, becomes the rose!
(David's seed/ The Lion of Judah/ Son of God aka Christ has gone ahead - and in His Time and under His love, every stumbling block in your life will become a blessing and doubly so!)
