Mandy always finds the most interesting challenges to stretch her and I think I’m going to participate in the latest. The latest challenge she blogged about was Sarah Bowen’s Best Me Challenge which challenged you to pick one song that is inspiring you right now. While I am loving on Mandisa’s God Speaking song which I mentioned in my last post, I am truly rocking out to the latest Hawk Nelson single. As I’m trying to be more real, authentic, and transparent, the line of the song that I remembered from the first time I heard it on Air1 was “I’m not a wannabe, I’m who I wanna be and I intend to be how You created me.”

Hawk Nelson – Friend Like That lyrics

I like it simple and I’m not a superman
I never said that I was more than that
I’m not a wannabe, I’m who I wanna be
And I intend to be how You created me

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I’m not the only one who feels like this
I’ve got a few others around me

Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let’s scream and shout
If you know what I’m talkin’ `bout
Anybody got a friend like that

I once was little and I always had a plan
You thought my friendliness was just an act
I’ll be your friend indeed, and you can count on me
And I can guarantee, your friend I’ll always be

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I’m not the only one who feels like this
I’ve got a few others around me

Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let’s scream and shout
If you know what I’m talkin’ `bout
Anybody got a friend like that

Does anyone out there feel alone
Can anyone hear me
Down and out, your heart is cold
It’s never easy
But if you believe that there is hope
Than sing it with me

Hey let me hear ya say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let’s scream and shout
If you know what I’m talkin’ `bout
Anybody got a friend like that
Hey let me hear ya say
Does anybody feel this way
Hey if you got a friend like that
Hey let’s scream and shout
If you know what I’m talkin’ `bout
Anybody got a friend like that

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I’m not the only one who feels like this
I’ve got a few others around me
