Brooke Fraser - C.S. Lewis Song

http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2007/04/26/Fraser_070426085904353_wideweb__300x375.jpg

Brooke Fraser is an NZ Christian Singer/Song Writer. She has a beautiful haunting voice and a very ethereal beauty. She has two albums out, and this song comes off her new album Albertine. Shadowfeet, Albertine and Deciphering Me are some of my fav songs of hers, but C.S Lewis Song is my absolute favourite. I love the first verse in the song, it gives me goosebumps. The song is inspired by C.S Lewis (one of my fav authors :p) book "Mere Christianity" as it contains experts from the book such as: "If I find in myself desires that nothing in this world can satisfy, I can only conclude that I was made for another world".

Beautiful music, beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics!

If i find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the felsh that i fight is at best only light and momentary,
then ofcourse I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

Am i lost or just found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
Cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
An avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan as I wait for hope to come for me

For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope, He's coming

Superb voice. It's a shame when you see that the majority of the chart eaters are American Idol garbage when you have someone like her.

^ So true. There are so many great talents out there that just don't make it to the world scene. There are many amazing NZ bands and musicans that are unknown to the world.

Anybody ever read the Chronicles of Narnia by Lewis? (The first one is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe which they made a [fairly good] movie out of...but you can't get the real flavor unless you read the books.)

The truly are wonderful. And they last. You can read them again and again...and you don't have to be a kid!

I love children's books...even though am practically an adult now :p There's just something in them, perhaps a sense of innocense, that you can't find in adult novels.
