Fireflight - Unbreakable

Where are the people that accused me?
The ones who beat me down and bruised me
They hide just out of sight
Can’t face me in the light
They’ll return but I’ll be stronger

God, I want to dream again
Take me where I’ve never been
I want to go there
This time I’m not scared
Now I am unbreakable, it’s unmistakable
No one can touch me
Nothing can stop me

Sometimes it’s hard to just keep going
But faith is moving without knowing
Can I trust what I can’t see
To reach my destiny
I want to take control but I know better

Forget the fear it’s just a crutch
That tries to hold you back
And turn your dreams to dust
All you need to do is just trust



I'm very happy to hear our local music station play some contemporary Christian songs, because here, there is no radio station that plays purely that genre and I usually tune to internet radio for my feed of favourite type of music (sometimes it's just depressing and demotivated listening to "break up" songs and songs with no meaning).

This song by Fireflight is in the Hitz.fm Nu'List.

Here is the story behind the song from the writer of the song herself (and the singer also):

"When we wrote this song, I drew inspiration from the story in the Bible that tells about the woman caught in adultery. She was thrown at the feet of Jesus, and the religious leaders of the day were looking for Him to condemn her according to their laws. Instead, He asked each of them to punish her according to the level of their own perfection, and they had nothing to say. I tried to think how she must have felt, to be turned free and unpunished although she was guilty. This song is about breaking free and going further and higher than you or anyone ever expected. It’s about facing fear and sometimes even facts and becoming stronger than both." - Dawn Richardson
