"Overrated" is a song by Christian artist Jonathan McReynolds about the power of weakness and the strength that comes from relying on God. The song challenges the idea that being strong and independent is always the best thing. McReynolds admits to putting on a brave face even when he doesn't feel strong and always being the one to help others instead of asking for help himself. He realizes that heroes have their limits and sometimes capes get torn without getting fixed. In the chorus, McReynolds states that strong is overrated and that he will lean on God instead of trying to be strong on his own. He acknowledges that weakness can actually be good for him because it allows God to step in and show His strength. McReynolds understands that even though there are things he dreams of doing, he can't guarantee he'll be able to do them. He admits that God is not limited like humans are and can step in to do what we cannot. The bridge of the song acknowledges that sometimes weakness requires us to cry, lay down for a while, or pray in the midst of it. But even in our weakness, God gets stronger and shows up in our lives. The song ultimately reminds us that it's okay to be vulnerable and ask for help, and that relying on God can lead to a greater strength than we could ever achieve on our own.
