Sweet Jesus
Journey of Redemption: Sweet Jesus by Barclay James Harvest
Lyrics
Where's the lady and the time I used to know
Reflecting on the past, wondering about the whereabouts of a woman and the time that once felt familiar.
I think that I've been on the road too long
Feeling that the duration of being on the road has been too long, possibly causing a sense of disconnection.
Scenes of better days are pictured in my head
Recalling and visualizing memories of better days in the mind.
And haunting me those old familiar songs
Feeling haunted by the memories associated with old, familiar songs.
Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry
Expressing a plea to Jesus for help or guidance, accompanied by emotional distress.
Let me see a clearing sky
Desiring clarity and relief, symbolized by a clearing sky, possibly indicating hope for a better future.
For tomorrow I may be back home again
Expressing a hope to return home in the future and a desire for a positive turn of events.
So take the shadow from my eyes
Asking for help in removing emotional shadows or burdens from the eyes, seeking clarity.
Sunday morning comes I'm feeling kind of down
Describing a melancholic mood on a Sunday morning, feeling low and possibly lost.
I can't see back to where it all began
Expressing difficulty in retracing the journey to its origin or understanding where everything began.
And I know you'd help me if you only could
Believing that Jesus would offer assistance if possible, indicating a sense of faith or reliance on spiritual support.
I don't know why or where or who I am
Expressing confusion about one's identity and the circumstances surrounding it.
Oh sweet Jesus hear me cry
Reiterating the plea to Jesus for assistance and expressing emotional distress through crying out.
Let me see a clearing sky
Reiterating the desire for a clear, positive future represented by a clearing sky.
For tomorrow I may be back home again
Reiterating the hope of returning home in the future, suggesting an ongoing struggle or journey.
So take the shadow from my eyes
Repeating the request to remove shadows from the eyes, emphasizing the need for clarity and relief.
Take the shadow from my eyes
Reiterating the plea to remove shadows from the eyes, possibly symbolizing a desire for spiritual or emotional healing.
