britney

A good friend of mine introduced me to one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Bebo Norman, a couple of years ago. He has such a soothing voice and his lyrics almost always make me think. I came across this song off of his latest album and I thought it was so well written. This song isn't just about Britney Spears, it is about the fickle world in which we live. This is about a people starving for love and the healing power of a Savior. This is about the responsibility we have for treating others with love and respect amidst the lies and cruelty of our world.


Britney I'm sorry for the lies we told
we took you into our arms and then left you cold
Britney I'm sorry for this cruel cruel world
we sell the beauty but destroy the girl
Britney I'm sorry for your broken heart
we stood aside and watched you fall apart
I'm sorry we told you fame would fill you up
and money moves the man so drink the cup

I know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
you never see it coming back
I know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
but i can see it coming back for you
yes coming back for you

Britney I'm sorry for the stones we throw
we tear you down just so we can watch the show
Britney I'm sorry for the words we say
we point the finger as you fall from grace

Repeat chorus

Yeah, its coming back for you, yeah, its coming back for you, yeah, its coming back for you, yeah

Britney I do believe that love has come
here for the broken
here for the ones like us

Repeat chorus x2
