Music is a minefield. I often come close to that idiot teenager who thought every song was mocking him when he got dumped.
Lenny Kravitz’s “Push,” has a lot more than a couple lines that hit home. It doesn’t speak to every moment I live, but it accurately describes my current mindset. Things aren’t easy, but I’m trusting in God and determined to push through each day. I get up early and I see the Kingdom past the beasts and the darkness.
Also, Mary would really dig shirtless Lenny in the video.
Push
It’s barely morning
Cars are roaring
The city’s moving fast
My momma’s calling
But I’m stalling
Living in the past
It’s time to face the world in front of me
And make the best of this reality
I’m gonna push my life today
Push to make a better way
Gonna push ’cause I got to carry on
I’m gonna push the clouds away
Push so I can see the way
Gonna push until I find my way home
The jungle’s swarming
Beasts are crawling
They’re all along my path
But God’s adoring,
Love is pouring
I’m gonna take a bath
I am swimming in a violent sea
Trying to find out who I’m gonna be
I’m gonna push my life today
Push to make a better way
Gonna push ’cause I got to carry on
I’m gonna push the clouds away
Push so I can see the way
Gonna push until I find my way home
I can feel it come together
I know God has a plan, oh yeah
Oh, I see the kingdom through the shadows
But it’s all gonna pass
I’m gonna push
‘Cause my Lord ain’t gonna let it last
I’m gonna push my life today
Push to make a better way
Gonna push ’cause I got to carry on, oh yeah
I’m gonna push the clouds away
Push so I can see the way
Gonna push until I find my way home
I’m gonna push ’till my Lord brings me home
Oh oh, oh yeah
‘Till I find my way home
