Behind The Song: Micah Tyler Shares The Heart Behind His New Single “Different”

This week’s featured song story comes to us from Micah Tyler. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his new single “Different.”

There’s times where I’ll just go to the Lord and ask Him, “God would you make the things around me change? Just so I can be ok. Like I’m trying to do my best right now and I feel like I’m doing good, but things around me are just really messed up and they’re hard right now. Could you just make these things different?” There’s times where God answers that prayer by just helping calm some storms around us and fixing things around us, but there’s also just times and I’m learning this right now that we can’t rely on Him to make everything different around us. There’s times where God puts us in situations where He can make us different so that we can live inside of the moments that He’s put in front of us, so we can be the change that we feel like needs to happen around us. – Micah Tyler

“Different” Lyrics

I don’t want to hear anymore
Teach me to listen
I don’t want to see anymore
Give me a vision
That You could move this heart to be set apart

I don’t need to recognize the man in the mirror
I don’t want trade Your plan for something familiar
I can’t waste a day
I can’t stay the same

I want to be different
I want to be changed
Until all of me is gone
And all that remains
Is a fire so bright
The whole world can see
That there’s something different
So come and be different
In me

I don’t want to spend my life stuck in a pattern
I don’t want to gain this world but lose what matters
So I’m giving up everything because

I know that I am far from perfect
But through You, the cross still says I’m worth it
So take this beating in my heart
Come and finish what You started
When they see me, let them see You
Because I just want to be different

I just want to be different
So could You be different in me
