Story Behind The Song

I had a close friend who was so determined to be lord of their own life even though it was clear God was trying to get their attention and offering His lifeline. This song describes what I saw at that time - and what I was tempted to do for a awhile in my own life.

Song Description

Ignoring the overtures of God to save us

Lyrics

I get lonely
But I just find a pretty face

I have worries
But I just take another drink

When I see trouble in sight
I just quickly close my eyes

I don't feel so scared
When I can't see what's there
I'm as free as the air - Hidin'

I get lonely
But I just find a pretty face

I have worries
But I just take another drink

When I see trouble in sight
I just quickly close my eyes

I don't feel so scared
When I can't see what's there
I'm as free as the air - hidin'


I have problems
But I give the blame to someone else

I have sorrows
But I just watch another film

When I hear something to hard
I just cover up my ears

I don't feel so down
When the music's up loud
I got my feet on the ground - hidin'


Oh I'm hidin'


I hear stories
That I don't need to hide away

Their not listening
The hound of heaven's after me

When I hear something from Him
I just cover up my ears

Keep the music up loud
Don't you bring me down
I just got to keep on - hidin'


Hidin', hidin' from God hidin' from God
