This song is called Britney and it is by Bebo Norman...(on my playlist below)
Lyrics:
Britney I’m sorry for the lies we told
We took you into our arms then left you cold
Britney, I’m sorry for this cruel, cruel world
We sell the beauty but destroy the girl
Britney, I’m sorry for your broken heart
We stood aside and watched you fall apart
I’m sorry we told you fame would fill you up
And money moves the man so drink the cup
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back, you never see it coming back
And I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back, but I can see it coming back for you
Britney I’m sorry for the stones we throw
We tear you down just so we can watch the show
Britney I’m sorry for the words we say
We point the finger as you fall from grace
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back, you never see it coming back
And I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back, but I can see it coming back for you
It’s coming back for you
Yeah, it’s coming back for you
Britney I do believe that love has come
Here for the broken, here for the ones like us
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back, you never see it coming back
And I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back, but I can see it coming back for you
It’s coming back for you
Yeah, it’s coming back for you
Ok, so yes this song is a personal apology to Britney Spears. When talking about this song, Bebo Norman quoted,
“Britney is a song about what our culture says and does to young women these days. It’s about the lies we tell them about fame and money and what’s beautiful and what will give them life. It’s an apology for those lies. But more than that, it’s an invitation. An invitation to the truth about a God who is bigger than the pain this world so often leaves them in.”
I think that this song works for more than just girls but for celebrities in general. I think that a lot of times, we will judge celebrities or famous people for the choices they make that we may or may not agree with. There are so many people out there that will just bash these celebrities into the ground because maybe they made a mistake. And, we don't have to love their music, or their choices, or their movies, but I think there's something bigger out there that we sometimes miss. God loves every single celebrity out there just as much as He loves me and you. God loves us unconditionally whether we make mistakes or not. Whether we are famous or not. I think that we just, as humans, see a magazine or see the headline on Yahoo and just automatically judge these celebrities because their choices are poor. But the truth is, it's not our place to judge! We don't want to be judged by the poor decisions we make, and we shouldn't judge the poor decisions that other people make. Without doing a single thing, God loves us. He loves us for who we are. God loves each celebrity for who they are, every single one of them, Britney Spears, Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, and all the rest of them. This song really talks about what this world does to the famous girls. We just completely pull them down and then watch them fall. Instead of judging them, let's just love them. Not for their songs, their movies, or their pictures, but for themselves. Even if we don't know who they are, we just need to love them like God loves us, and understand that they will make mistakes, and bad choices, but so will we, and God still loves us and God still loves them. Everyone out here, famous or not, is a child of the King, made in His image and he loves us all the same!
