Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us
Unveiling Life's Mysteries Through Melody
Lyrics
Strange things are happening everyday
Strange and unusual events are occurring regularly.
I hear the music up above my head
The speaker perceives celestial music or inspiration.
Though the side of my heart has left me again
Despite experiencing heartache, the speaker is drawn to the music.
I hear music up above
The celestial music continues to be a presence in the speaker's life.
Secrets are written in the sky
Mysteries or hidden truths are evident in the sky.
Looks like I've lost the love I've never found
The speaker feels a loss of a love that was never fully realized.
Though the sound of hope has left me again
The optimism or promise of hope has faded once again.
I hear music up above
The celestial music persists despite the emotional challenges.
Standing in my broken heart all night long
The speaker endures heartbreak throughout the night.
Darkness held me like a friend when love was lost
Darkness becomes a companion when love is lost.
Looking for the land that's hidden in the cross
Searching for a hidden or elusive place associated with the cross.
The finders love
Reference to a love that seeks and finds.
I know I loved you too much
The speaker acknowledges having loved someone excessively.
Ill go alone to get through
The speaker resolves to face challenges alone.
I hear Rosetta singing in the night
The celestial music is personified as Rosetta singing in the night.
Echo's of lighting shine like stars after there gone
Lingering effects or memories (echoes) shine even after they're gone.
And tonight shes my guide as a girl on the moon
Rosetta serves as a guiding presence, akin to a girl on the moon.
With the music up above
The celestial music continues to be a source of inspiration.
