I blog this song in my other blogsite. I "copy-pasted" the lyrics and embedded the video. But i never really made an in-depth analysis about it [gone are the days of writing a critique; i missed doing it though-- hey, just "thinking out loud" so to speak].
Anyway, I think the lyrics of the song though contain both schemes and tropes, still can simply be understood even if you do not apply the steps in critical analysis.
I just want to throw the truth in this song. You may be are in the same boat with the persona in this song. Which road would you take in this crossroad of life? What would you rather do?
As the listener of the song... would you show compassion for the person? Or would you have that "holier-than-thou" attitude like one of those characters in the song, the "lofty people"?
I hope people who seek refuge from people in church will find compassion, kindness, grace and even see the light that they need. They will find the real "Hero" that they long for and that they will meet our Lord and Savior through us. Let's remember that we were once lost.
