about

After not writing a song for almost 2 years, I got baptized (again) at age 30 and wrote this the next week.

It's pretty much on how we think we have everything under control but we really need God. And how we react.

The chorus says "What do you think about? etc..." and this is me asking God what He thinks about and what He dreams about and longs for. He always fulfills our wishes and does so much for us, but does anyone ever want to hear about God's dreams?

lyrics

Will You be here when the time's get bad?
Cuz I'm down on my knees, taken all that I can
W/out a doubt, w/out a whisper
You left me in the valley, in the desert

Will You be here when the time's get good?
Cuz I got everything under control as I should
W/out a clap, w/out an applause
I throw my hands up, follow through to my loss

What do You think about?
What do You long for?
What do You dream about?
What do You wish for?

You came here, only in grace
Cuz I'm worthy as dirt, as cunning as a snake
W/out my pride, w/out my cause
The sun brings hope to where it once not was

You came here, in my place
Between two thieves, and as white as lace
W/out Your pain, w/out Your heart
I'd still be here- in Babylon
Torn apart

What do You think about?
What do You long for?
What do You dream about?
What do You wish for?
