Are You and I Like Bob Seger of the Silver Bullitt Band? Are We Running "Against the Wind"? Please Consider the Following Questions, Issues, and Answers!

The words and tune of this song are haunting--at various levels. Seger captures well then confesses the frustration and realization of a life lived without any centering or reason to live. The reason given; only to live fast, have wild sex, with no direction seemingly at all. At the end of such a life, while looking back, he waxes somewhat philosophic. "He is older now" and realizes for his whole life he "has been running against the wind!" At the end, he does not offer any repentance or otherwise change of mind.. He only recounts some observations and regrets. Consider:

First: Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

Second: Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

Third: I found myself further and further from my home

Fourth: I guess I lost my way[?]

Finally: I was living' to run; And running' to live; Never worried about paying; Or even how much I owed

A Christian Response:

Do you, "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then"?

Are you, "Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends"?

Have you, " . . . found [your]self further and further from . . . [your] home"?

Have you, ". . . lost your way"?

Were you just, ". . . living to run, And Running to live; Never worried about paying: Or even how much I owed"[!]

Christ can: Wash away all of those regrets and memories!

Christ can and will Be your Savior, Lord, and Friend

Christ can and will Be Your Home and Take You Home to Him

Christ is: The Way, The Truth, and The Life

Instead of Running "Against the Wind" Run to Christ!

Embrace Him by Faith and Repentance.

[Verse 1]

Seems like yesterday

But it was long ago

Janey was lovely

She was the queen of my nights

There in the darkness

With the radio playin' low, and

And the secrets that we shared

The mountains that we moved

Caught like a wildfire out of control

'Til there was nothing left to burn

And nothing left to prove

[Pre-Chorus]

And I remember what she said to me

How she swore that it never would end

I remember how she held me, oh-so tight

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

[Chorus]

Against the wind

We were running against the wind

We were young and strong

We were running against the wind

[Verse 2]

And the years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

I found myself further and further from my home and I

I guess I lost my way

There were oh-so many roads

I was living' to run

And running' to live

Never worried about paying

Or even how much I owed
