Just like in the biblical Psalms of David, Jon Keith is crying out to God through this song. According to Jon on Instagram, this cry is based on Psalm 8 and Luke 10.
Psalm 8 references God’s creation and our importance to Him despite the greatness of the stars. Jon wonders why we are of so much mor...
[Chorus: Jon Keith]
All of these stars out, why would you think about my life?
Before the sun's down, I really want to prove you right
And I'm tryin', then you chime in, say you're right here
But I keep on chasing, I keep on chasing (Chasing)
[Verse 1: Jon Keith]
New day, a hundred songs, butterflies, I'm a dog
Canine, chasing cars, Dove Awards, Grammy noms
Why I'm not around when you visit
I've been on the ground runnin' missions
Everything I found with the livin'
You can't even raise a brow, then who will listen?
Raindrops, gently, you still up, praise be
Thankful you don't sleep well, then you wake up and forget me
I'm no good with affection, it's the prequel to rejection
And all around you is heaven, and that leaves me with questions like—
[Chorus: Jon Keith]
All of these stars out, why would you think about my life?
Before the sun's down, I really want to prove you right
And I'm tryin', then you chime in, say you're right here
But I keep on chasing, I keep on chasing (Chasing)
[Verse 2: Taylor Hill]
Who is that in the mirror? Who is that that's chasing me?
I remember at zero, he would train what his eyes couldn't see
Just a boy with his father, hand-in-hand with a guarantee
That he never needed trophies, to prove to him he was worth something
When I'm jaded, always changing
You've been patient, You've been kind
Am I going crazy with all I've done lately?
I thought You'd hate me, but You say, "You're mine", yeah
[Chorus: Taylor Hill & Jon Keith]
All of these stars out, why would You think about my life?
Before the sun's down, I really want to prove You right
And I'm tryin', then You chime in, say You're right here
But I keep on chasing, I keep on chasing (Chasing)
