Story behind the song
Written around New Years, to express what I felt about the neverending cycle of destruction we experience in making these, only to crash and burn on them within just 30 days. I feel it's more important to surrender the areas and kingdoms of our lives to the Lord and Master, and let Him guide us and empower us to keep these if it's His will.
Lyrics
Revolution Day (C)2008 Christopher M Solaas Isn't it strange how every year Starts and ends the same With a New Year's Resolution That things are going to change? Gonna shed a few pounds, Put the cigarettes down, Read my bible every dawn. But by the time the month is past, Those empty promises are gone. What made me think that I could keep them When I really didn't care? I set my own self up for failure When my heart just isn't there. So while we kiss the old year out And we kiss the new year in I'm going to start a Revolution If you want, you can join in. Chorus: It's a new years Revolution To make no more resolutions For those year-long promises Don't seem to last for 30 days So instead I'll take it day-by-day Allow the Lord to have His way. Surrender all my lands to Him On Revolution Day. Gonna sign the titles over Gonna wave that big white flag 'Cause the guy who sat upon my throne Was really just a drag! Surrender the town, nail the drawbridge down Give the Lord the Kingdom Key Let Him into every room They do not belong to me. What made me think that I could change When I'm still upon the throne? I set my own self up for failure When I do this on my own So while we kiss the old year out And we kiss the new year in I'm going to start a Revolution if you want, you can join in. Chorus: It's a new years Revolution Give the Lord those resolutions If He wants to, He can keep them, And I won't get in the way. So instead I'll take it day-by-day Allow the Lord to have His way. Surrender all my lands to Him On Revolution Day.
