I believe that the lyrics to this song speaks for itself. This song isn’t just beautiful because of the way the flow of the instruments make you feel. It’s a combination of the background and the special lessons being taught by the singers. This song gets to me every time I hear it. It’s a song that may be called sad, but I think it’s a song about hope. I think it shows that it is possible to have a peaceful world and it’s not just concept used by children when they made their birthday wish or for girls in beauty pageants. “If everyone shared and swallowed their pride then we’d see the day where nobody died.”
The meaning conveyed from these lyrics show how all the troubles in the world could be solved if everyone just worked together and stopped feeling like they needed to win something all the time.
I just think it’s a beautiful message shared by a beautiful tune.

Blending in with the crowd isn’t always good– especially if you want to be known, or in this case, let your master be known. Lecrae is a hip-hop artist that, in this song, raps about the necessity of having someone with you. The true beauty of this song comes with its dual nature. Since Lecrae is a rapper who happens to rap about his faith, each verse is tied to his spiritual life. Anomaly is the name of the album that this song is from and I encourage all of you to go and listen.

I view this performance as beautiful because it conveys one’s desire for a genuine emotional connection with another individual without any need for a facade of perfection.
