Song of the Summer
Harmony in Grace: Abby Robertson's Uplifting Song of the Summer
Lyrics
Hey
Expression of greeting or attention.
Felt like we could use a lift
Feeling a need for upliftment or positivity.
God's given me this little riff
A musical idea or motif inspired by God.
Don't care if it's a hit
Indifference to commercial success; prioritizing emotional connection.
As long as y'all are feelin' it
Emphasis on the audience's emotional response to the music.
Hey
Reiteration of a friendly greeting or attention.
Instead of worrying our days away
Suggesting a shift from worry to enjoying life through music.
Sit back and let the music play
Encouragement to relax and let the music take precedence.
Lemonade, take a sip
Metaphorically referencing refreshing positivity ("Lemonade").
Cause God's in control of it
Acknowledging God's control over life's circumstances.
We got that song, oh
Introduction of a song characterized as special ("that song").

Song of the summer
-Everything's better when
-All God's people sing
-Hey
Suggesting simplicity and self-compassion.
No need to overcomplicate
Advocating for grace and self-acceptance.
Show ourselves a little grace
Encouragement to look towards the positive side of life.
Lift up our eyes, step into the light and
Optimism about divine timing and support from God.
We'll find that
-His timing is always right
-And He's always on our side
-Oh what a love He's given us
Expressing gratitude for the love received from God.
We got that song, oh

Feel the water washing over me
