I really respect and admire when popstars sing songs that are actually meaningful. Justin Bieber has a new song off his latest CD release, "My Worlds Acoustic." The song is called, "Pray" and it is very emotionally driven and inspirational.
Some lyrics:
It's in the papers, it's on the TV,
it's everywhere that i go.
Children are crying, soldiers are dying,
some people don't have a home.
But i know there's sunshine behind that rain,
I know there's good times behind that pain (hey)
Can you tell me how i can make a change?
I close my eyes, and i can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray.
I close my eyes and i can see a better day,
I close my eyes and pray.
For a pop song, it really puts things into perspective. I'm really glad Justin did a song like this. He has a huge limelight on him right now, and for his demographic (teenagers), I believe it's a great idea to send this hopeful message. I also really think it's incredible that Justin not only put this song as a tract on his CD, but he made it a single. I hope it catches a lot of radio attention soon.
Take a listen to "Pray" below:

PS: My cousins and I met Justin Bieber's cardboard cutout this past weekend!
oh my gosh. i totally thought i was reading a post on my sister's blog when i saw this in reader; she was seriously JUST telling me how much she loves this song.
ReplyDeletei agree. i especially love that he is giving a positive message to his demographic since most often they don't see religion being popular.
