Self and human nature in a song.

I chose the song "The Lost Get Found" by Britt Nicole because I feel that the song is telling people to reach out to others everyday, people who need help, hope or just someone to give them a helping hand. It ties into our readings about human nature and self because people often think just about themselves and don't care about the other people around them in need.

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
There's a girl on the streets, she's cryin'
There's a man whose faith is dyin'
Love is calling you

Why do we go with the flow
Or take an easier road?
Why are we playin' it safe?
Love came to show us the way
Love is a chance we should take
I'm movin' out of the way

I feel that Britt Nicole is saying don't be afraid to go out of your way for other people. People like to go for the safer road. She is saying you have the chance to help and change someone so why not take that chance. If everyone in the world went out of there way to help at least one person everyday the world could be a much better place. This ties in with order and chaos because if people would go out of there way to help people in need this choatic world we could bring some order into it.
