Teach Me
Embracing Divine Guidance: "Teach Me" by Aaron Ab Washington
Lyrics
Why do I keep doing the things
Expressing frustration or confusion about recurring actions.
I don't want to do
Questioning personal choices and actions that are undesirable.
Going the wrong way, in the fast lane, going 93
Describing a fast-paced, potentially reckless lifestyle.
It's always the same stupid mistakes that try to grip my identity
Noting a pattern of repeating foolish errors affecting self-identity.
Am I not focused, on you, are you not my priority?

Teach me, teach me

How could I keep doing the things
Expressing confusion or regret about repeating warned-against actions.
You've warned me not to do
Acknowledging warnings given and actions leading to negative consequences.

Listing the negative outcomes of the mentioned actions.
To be made whole like you designed me to
