So around this time of year, in the car I will listen to 97.1 WASH FM for the Xmas music. The kids seem to enjoy it. They seem to often play that Band Aid song quite a bit. The song was done decades ago and is a collection of European artists singing to help raise funds for famine relief. It's not a bad song but there is a line in there that always makes me chuckle. It's Bono and he sings, "Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you."
It just sounds funny that we should be thanking God for their poverty and poor situation and that we are not them. I get what they are trying to say but it just seems like the lyrics could have been better.
Anyway, just a random thought.
