Jonathan Allen Wright's "Death of a Dream" is a reminder that God is the giver of our 'dreams' and that He controls the plans and outcomes of those dreams. In this ambient indie folk tune, Wright draws parallels to the biblical Shunammite woman's endurance, teaching us to trust in God's sovereignty even when our aspirations seem to crumble.
The lyrics describe the struggle and vulnerability, a cry for God that ultimately results in knowing that God is deeply connected to us - "inside my bones," and will never abandon us. Wright's lyrics lead up to the realization that God is our constant, His love a compass that leads us out of our comfort zones into His embrace, and proves that even in the perceived "death" of a dream, we will find life in the purpose that He has for us.
