TFT: Annie Lennox


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Why
Annie Lennox
Why
Why

How many times
Do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry
For the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey
This kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth

Tell me
Why
Why

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides
Why can't you see
This boat is sinking
This boat is sinking
This boat is sinking
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out
Turning inside out

Tell me
Why
Tell me
Why

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel
Because i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel

I don't think you know what I feel

You don't know what I feel


Shining Light
Annie Lennox
 Roman candles that burn in the night
Yeah
You are a shining light
You lit a torch in the empty night
Yeah
You are a shining light
Yeah
You light up my life

You've always been a thorn in their side
But to me you're a shining light
You arrive and the night is alive
Yeah
You are a shining light
Yeah
You light up my life

We made a connection
A full chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah
You are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over Royal David's city
An epiphany
You burn so pretty
Yeah
You are a shining light

You are a force
You are a constant source
Yeah
You are a shining light
Incandescent into the darkest night
Yeah
You are a shining light
Yeah
You light up my life

We made a connection
A full on chemical reaction
 Brought by dark divine intervention
 Yeah
You are a shining light
 A constellation once seen
Over Royal David's city
 An epiphany
You burn so pretty
 Yeah
You are a shining light

These are the days you often say
There's nothing that we cannot do
Beneath a canopy of stars
I'd shed blood for you
The North Star in the firmament
You shine the most bright
I've seen you dressed in an electric veil
Shrouded in celestial light

We made a connection
A full chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah
You are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over Royal David's city
An epiphany
You burn so pretty
Yeah
You are a shining light
You are a shining light
You are a shining light
Ooooh
Yeah

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Tony!!! Be assured that I know exactly what you mean. Be also assured that it came as a great shock when it finally "dawned" on me just who she was singing about in Shining Light.

  3. The first song is my theme song because of the line Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
