Echoes of His Image - Kasey Chambers on the Desire for Order, Comfort, Freedom, Courage, and Meaning

Kasey

Well I never lived through the great depression  
Sometimes I feel as though I did 
I don't have answers for every single question  
But that's okay cause I'm just a kid  

I've seen pictures of my mother  
She looked exactly like me  
And I've seen all my friends running for cover  
Running from something they can't see
 
And it's not easy to get a handle on my life 
But I have tried it time and time again
 
But I still cry just like a baby  
And I answer back to feel a little free  
And I still fly even though I'm gonna fall  
But I'm too far gone to let it get to me
 
I'm not much like my generation 
Their music only hurts my ears 
And I don't hide my pain to save my reputation  
It's too hard to keep up with these years
 
And it's not easy to make a habit disappear 
But I have tried it time and time again
 
But I still cry just like a baby  
And I answer back to feel a little free  
And I still fly even though I'm gonna fall 
But I'm too far gone to let it get to me

Lyrics from "Cry Like a Baby," from her album "The Captain"

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. 

Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.  

Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it. 

 The steps of a man are established by the Lord, and He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

Ps 37:3-5, 23-24
