Better Than Ezra

I love that band...some of you may know it...Better Than Ezra. I often wondered what that meant. I knew Ezra was a person in the bible...and I still need to study that book...but what would it mean to be "better than" Ezra.

They had a song way back in the 90's...Desperatly Wanting. Here is a blip of it...

Take back your life.
Let me inside.
We'll find a door
If you care, if you care to anymore....
I remember running thru the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately Wanting


Ezra 7 10 For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD , and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel. In my prayer book it says...."like Ezra, I want to set my heart to study Your Word, to obey it and to do it, and to teach it to others."

With that, how can we be "Better Than Ezra"? I dunno, Guess I"ll have to read Ezra and get back to you.
