All They Really Need
A Little Help from God: Unveiling the Resilience in Addison Agen's Lyrics
Lyrics
The sound of rain hitting the roof
The soothing sound of rain hitting the roof
Dulls out the pain of what's outside the room
Acts as a distraction from the pain outside the room
Outside the window, outside the door
Reference to the external world beyond the window and door
There are the innocent
Describes different groups facing hardships and despair
There are the weak and poor
-The hurt and bewildered
-Just staring at the floor
-They've been told they can't rise
Despite being told they can't succeed, they need help from God
They've been hurt, they've been despised
-But all they really need is a little help from God
-They've been torn, they have lied
-They've been burned, they've been disguised
-But all they really need is a little help from God
-The sound of wind hitting the trees
The sound of wind masking internal struggles
Dulls out the noise of what's inside of me
Similar to lines 4-7, highlighting the suffering of different individuals
Inside my heart, inside my mind
-There are the innocent
-There are the weak and poor
-The hurt and the bewildered
-Just staring at the floor
-They've been told they can't rise
Reiteration of the need for divine assistance despite challenges
They've been hurt, they've been despised
-But all they really need is a little help from God
-They've been torn, they have lied
-They've been burned, they've been disguised
-But all they really need is a little help from God
-And the pain pours out
Emphasizes pain and speechlessness, especially on winter nights
And the words in their mouth
-On a winter's night
-Nowhere to be found
-And the pain pours out
-And the words in their mouth
-On a winter's night
-Nowhere to be found
-They've been told they can't rise
Repeat of the theme: despite adversity, they seek help from God
They've been hurt, they've been despised
-But all they really need is a little help from God
-They've been torn, they have lied
-They've been burned, they've been disguised
-But all they really need is a little help from God
-They've been told they can't rise
Continued expression of the persistent need for divine support
They've been hurt, they've been despised
-But all they really need is a little help from God
-They've been torn, they have lied
-They've been burned, they've been disguised
-But all they really need is a little help from God
-They've been told they can't rise
Summarizes the challenges faced by different groups
They've been hurt, they've been despised
-They've been torn, they have lied
-They've been burned, they've been disguised
-But all they really need
Final emphasis on the universal need for a little help from God
Oh all they really need
-Oh all they really need
-Is a little help from God
