      Demi Lovato’s Skyscraper song

      “You can take everything I have
      You can break everything I am
      Like I’m made of glass
      Like I’m made of paper
      Go on and try to tear me down
      I will be rising from the ground
      Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper”

      U2 One used to remind me of a bittersweet time, quite a sad tale culminated in us listening to this at that time, but nevertheless it was a close and loving memory with my partner.

      Listened to it again today and the lyrics take on new poignance.

      “Have you come here for forgiveness?
      Have you come to raise the dead?
      Have you come here to play Jesus?
      To the lepers in your head
      Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
      You gave me nothing, now it’s all I got
      We’re one, but we’re not the same
      See we hurt each other, then we do it again
      You say love is a temple, love is a higher law
      Love is a temple, love is a higher law
      You ask of me to enter, but then you make me crawl
      And I can’t keep holding on to what you got, ’cause all you got is hurt”

      I saw the most wonderful version of a song called Rise Up on Facebook the other day by a young man called Jordan Rabjohn who sings it with his mum. Made the hairs on my neck stand up and can’t stop watching it. The vocals are amazing and the words are very appropriate for all of us on here, it’s worth a watch.

      SHALLOW – 6 years old Sophie Fatu and Mom – youtube

      Tell me somethin’, girl
      Are you happy in this modern world?
      Or do you need more?
      Is there somethin’ else you’re searchin’ for?
      I’m falling
      In all the good times I find myself
      Longin’ for change
      And in the bad times I fear myself
      Tell me something, boy
      Aren’t you tired tryin’ to fill that void?
      Or do you need more?
      Ain’t it hard keeping it so hardcore?
      I’m falling
      In all the good times I find myself
      Longing for a change
      And in the bad times I fear myself
      I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
      I’ll never meet the ground
      Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us
      We’re far from the shallow now
      In the shallow, shallow
      In the shallow, shallow
      In the shallow, shallow
      We’re far from…
