Creative Inspiration
music video I appreciated how the music video focuses on narrative rather than performance. The entire theme of the song connects directly to each scene, illustrating how, in our daily lives, we sometimes feel the need to run away—to the edges of the earth—because life and even our own thoughts can become overwhelming. However, the video also reminds us that behind the scenes there is our Creator, who sees every detail of our lives and will not let us fall. No matter how far
