When Everything Is Beautiful
Embracing Redemption: Transforming Imperfections into Beauty
Lyrics
Take my ashes
Symbolic offering of one's remains or past mistakes
Take my dirt
Symbolic surrender of personal flaws or imperfections
And clay
Referencing the basic elements of human existence
Take my pride and strip it all away
Willingness to let go of personal achievements and ego
Take my mourning, take my doubt
Offering feelings of grief and sadness
And fear
Offering feelings of uncertainty and anxiety
Say the word's I long to hear
Desire to hear comforting and reassuring words
Though your sin's, were as scarlet
Reference to forgiveness and spiritual cleansing
They will be, as white as snow
Assurance that sins will be forgiven and purity restored
Though they were red, red as crimson
Emphasis on the depth of wrongdoing or sin
They will be like wool
Promise of transformation and renewal
When everything is beautiful
Anticipation of a future state of beauty and purity
Everything I tried too hide
Admission of attempts to hide personal shortcomings
All the games I've been playin'
Acknowledgment of engaging in deceitful behavior
Every secret, every lie
Confession of secrets and lies
All the shame I've been claiming
Acknowledgment of claimed responsibility for shame
Come and whisper in my ear
Invitation for comforting words and reassurance
And say the word's I long to hear
Desire to hear specific comforting words
Though your sin's were as scarlet
Reiteration of forgiveness and purification
They will be, as white as snow
Confidence in complete transformation to purity
Though they were red, red as crimson
Recall of the intensity of past wrongs
They will be like wool
Visualizing the restoration of purity and innocence
When everything is beautiful
Anticipation of universal beauty and goodness
I'm alive with a hope of a brand new day
Celebration of newfound hope and optimism
Oh oh whoa
Expressing a positive sense of being alive
I'm alive with the hope of a brand new day
Reiteration of hope and optimism for a new day
Though your sin's were as scarlet
Reiteration of forgiveness and cleansing process
They've become as white as snow
Confirmation of sins turning completely pure
Though they were red, red as crimson
Reflecting on the deep hue of past mistakes
They've be like wool
Imagining the transformed state of purity
Though your sin's were as scarlet
Reiteration of the transformative power of forgiveness
They've become as white as snow
Acknowledgment of complete purification
Though they were red, red as crimson
Recalling the vividness of past mistakes
They've be like wool
Imagining the purified and cleansed state
And everything is beautiful
Affirmation that everything is now beautiful
Everything is beautiful
Reiteration that everything has become beautiful
