Is this a Christian Rock song by Sheryl Crow

[soleft]

Yes, it is a song by Sheryl Crow, it's on her greatest hits album. But is it simply a spiritual song, or is it a specifically Christian exhortation to pray? Or am I totally off on interpretation? Maybe it's a song about your Mom?

The Light In Your Eyes Lyrics

Something is happening
Everything's different but everything is fine
This is the good stuff
Yesterday's only what you leave behind
It's only in your mind

You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you all the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes

No use pretending
You never existed until you saw the light
You're just beginning
You have the mistakes all ahead of you
And you know what to do

You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you all the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes

Here comes the world and she is beautifully mysterious
She's got it all and you say 'give it to me'

Nobody's happy
That's not the world I know inside
Everybody hides

You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you all the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes

You gotta talk to the One who loves you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you all the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes

Yeah, thank you thank you!
Yeah, everything great and small
Yeah, thank you thank you!
For the light in your eyes
For the light in your eyes

1. It's up for interpretation, I guess

It seems to be an exhortation to touch the divine. Whether you believe that is God or your own self or your lover or whatever. :shrug:

2. Kevin Gilbert is the one who made her...

Not that she cared.

3. Is he the dead guy?

[mitchum]

7. So, he's the one to blame?

[MJP]

4. What does it matter?

I'd say spiritual for sure. Too vague to say it's Christian. But, what does it matter?

5. why does it have to matter?

can't a person be curious?

[MJP]

9. I should've asked

Does it matter?

[soleft]

10. no

[Carni]

6. Sounds to me like she's into wicca

"Here comes the world and she is beautifully mysterious
She's got it all and you say 'give it to me'"

I don't know that much about it... but the "she" reference doesn't sound like typical born again stuff JMO

[supernova]

8. Sounds like basic spirituality to me

:thumbsup:

I've never heard it but the words are certainly beautiful.

And btw, I'm a xtian who never thought of God as specifically male or female.
