Hillsong Young & Free (a menudo abreviado como Y&F) es el ministerio de adoración juvenil de Hillsong Church, una comunidad cristiana global que tiene su sede en Sídney, Australia. El grupo fue fundado en 2012 con el objetivo de conectar con una audiencia joven a través de una mezcla de música contemporánea y letras centradas en la fe.
Bajo la dirección y supervisión de personas clave en la iglesia, entre ellos Laura Toggs, hija de los fundadores de Hillsong, Brian y Bobbie Houston, Young & Free se propuso capturar el espíritu y la energía de una nueva generación que busca autenticidad y profundidad espiritual.
En 2013, el grupo lanzó su primer álbum, "We Are Young & Free", que rápidamente captó la atención tanto de la comunidad cristiana como del público en general. Canciones como "Alive" y "Wake" se convirtieron en himnos en iglesias alrededor del mundo y mostraron la habilidad del grupo para incluir elementos de la electrónica y el pop en su música de adoración.
El éxito rotundo de este álbum les permitió realizar giras no solo en Australia, sino también en América del Norte y otras partes del mundo. La energía mostrada en esas presentaciones en vivo consolidó su reputación de ser una banda vibrante y apasionada.
It's getting to the point
Where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly
I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
And you make it hard.
Remember what we've said and done and felt
About each other
Oh babe, have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming.
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.
Tearing yourself away from me now
You are free and I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you
I do, that's forever,
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard.
Something inside is telling me that
I've got your secret.
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you.
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard (x 3).
Friday evening, Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning, please be gone I'm tired of you.
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm suffering)
Listen to me baby.
It's my heart that's a suffering (Help me I'm dying)
It's a dying, that's what I have to lose
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?
Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing the song don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow.
Voices of the angels, ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?
Lacy, lilting, leery, losing love, lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady.
Que linda me la traiga Cuba,
La reina de la Mar Caribe.
Cielo sol no tiene sangre allí,
y que triste que no puedo vaya,
Oh va, oh va, va.
Translation:
(How prettiness brings me to Cuba,
The reign of the Caribbean Sea,
Sunny sky has no blood over there,
And how sad that I cannot go,
Oh go, oh go, go.)
