Rescue


I've been thinking of my grandpa a lot lately and just can't believe that he is gone. I'm very peaceful about it for the most part, but sometimes it hits me at odd moments. I was driving home from work tonight and heard this song by Bebo Norman. I always wondered what grandpa was thinking in those last days when he couldn't tell us, and this song I think might be the perfect soundtrack. My favorite part is "not a moment too soon you will be my rescue." I know all he wanted was to be freed from all of it, and it's a great visual to imagine God just reaching down and pulling him gently away from here. Anyway...


Tell me now, when does this start feeling
Like I understand everything I’m dealing with
First I was young, now it’s all just happening
And what about the way I said that
Made you turn around and shake your head
Like I don’t even know what I’m asking for

This could be all about just letting go
This could be all about just holding on

I can’t get my feet off of the ground
I wanna run but I don’t know how
Can you reach me here and pull me out
Can you pull me out, yeah

I wanna scream but there’s no sound
I wanna fly to you somehow
Can you reach me here and pull me out
Can you pull me out

Remember when I was young and hungry,
I could take it in, without much money,
I had nothing at all but dreams and time to kill
And now I feel like I’m treading water
And I’m hardly real – I’m just trying harder
To make my way on the earth by standing still

This could be all about just letting go
This could be all about just holding on

I can’t get my feel off of the ground
I wanna run but I don’t know how
Can you reach me here and pull me out
Can you pull me out, yeah

I wanna scream but there’s no sound
I wanna fly to you somehow
Can you reach down here and pull me out
Can you pull me out

Not a moment too soon You will be my rescue
But tell me how long will it take?

I can’t get my feet off of the ground
I wanna run but I don’t know how
Can you reach me here and pull me out
Can you pull me out

I can’t get my feet off of the ground
I wanna run but I don’t know how
Can you reach me here and pull me out
Can you pull me out, yeah

I wanna scream but there’s no sound
I wanna fly to you somehow
Can you reach me here and pull me out
Can you pull me out

Can you pull me out?
can you reach down and pull me out?
