Turn Around
Embrace Grace: Turning Life's Broken Roads into Home
Lyrics
Young man on the side of the road
Depicts a young man stranded by the roadside
lost and beat up with nowhere to go
He's disoriented and without a clear direction
Smells like a hangover from days ago
Suggests the lingering effects of alcohol consumption
but he does what he can to survive
Despite hardships, he does what he can to survive
Single mom with a dead end job
Describes a single mother in a dead-end job
90 hour week just to keep what she's got
She works excessively to sustain her current life
But the bills add up and now she's caught
Financial obligations overwhelm her
she does what she can to survive
Struggling, she perseveres to make ends meet
Well, let me say that love won't take away the pain
Love doesn't erase pain but doesn't abandon
But don't be afraid cause it will never walk away
Love remains, offering support despite challenges
If your scared that you don't matter
If feeling insignificant, there's hope
If your lost and need to be found
For those lost, seeking guidance
If your lookin' for a savior
For those in search of a rescuer
All you gotta do is turn around
Solution lies in a simple turn towards help
Some turn to a bottle
Different coping mechanisms: alcohol, drugs, or relationships
Some turn to a drug
Some resort to substances for solace
Some turn to another's arms
Others seek comfort in someone else's embrace
but it seems like it's never enough
Yet, these don't seem fulfilling enough
Well, I won't say that you will never fail again
Failure might occur, but there's grace for redemption
But, there is grace to wash away your every sin
There's an opportunity for forgiveness despite mistakes
Turn around
Encouragement to change direction and seek support
You don't have to take the broken road
No need to persist on a difficult path
You can turn around and come back home
Invitation to return to a place of acceptance and belonging
You don't have to take the broken road
Reiteration of the choice to turn towards home
turn around and come back home
Emphasizes the opportunity to come back
No one listens to you anymore
Sense of isolation and unheard feelings
and your heart has broken down
Emotional breakdown due to neglect
You don't need to move
Love is present without needing to make a move
Love has come to you
Love's availability for those in need of it
All you gotta do is turn around
A simple act of turning around brings love closer
All you gotta do is turn around
Reiteration of the ease in seeking support and care
