"A Good Song for Easter"

There are just some days when things just seem or are pretty bad. And then, almost out of the blue, someone–your husband–says, “Hey, you should listen to this Bill Mallonee song”–almost out of the blue…you are married to a Bill Mallonee Uber Fan. And you think, “I guess, I mean he says this all the time.” So, you do listen. And you hear the beautiful message of Easter and you know that you are not alone, that this isn’t permanent, and that you are forgiven and that there is hope that you can forgive and be forgiven by others. You hear love. And, just like that, the day is just that less bad. And you love that Uber Fan all the more.

   Here are the lyrics:
   COMING OUT OF HIDING
   music/words: bill mallonee BMI 2009

   I heard you were mother’s pride and joy
   she was pretty young when she had that baby boy
   you were up against the powers and down with the man at the start
   You had a hunger in your belly and the fire in side your heart

   you said mysterious things like: “living looks more like dying.”
   Now, you’re coming outta hiding (x2)

   I heard they called your mother ’bout every name under the sun
   I heard you turned your cheek a lot and bit your tongue
   you had a knack for making friends who couldn’t pay you back
   spending your coins on the wrong side of the tracks

   picking up the tab after wining and dining
   now, you’re coming outta hiding (x2)

   spent some time in the underground just to get the lay of the land
   spent some time with the sick to take them all on vacation
   spent some time in the jail just to let the prisoners loose
   spent some time on the gallows just to cut the hangman’s noose

   all of these reversals are kinda exciting
   now you’re coming outta hiding (x2)

   I heard they kicked you to curb when your show went down like a storm
   heard they stole your crown and gave you one of thorns
   you when love gets close it can be perceived as a threat
   and God you know we’ve got so much to protect

   Still it looks like love is always and ever abiding
   and you’re coming outta hiding

   Best lines:
   “…spent some time on the gallows just to cut the hangman’s noose.”

   “when love gets close it can be perceived as a threat
   and God you know we’ve got so much to protect.”

   I also loved “living looks more like dying.”

   Crazy good song.
