I Think I Can Hear You
Listening and Believing: Finding Purpose in Connection
Lyrics
What must I do
Expressing a willingness to take action or make a change.
How can I serve you
Asking how to fulfill a purpose or serve a higher power.
Is it true what I do is the way to be near you
Questioning if one's actions align with a divine or significant purpose, seeking closeness.
I'm listening, though sometimes I can't hear you
Acknowledging receptiveness despite occasional difficulty in perceiving divine guidance.
Looking around fills me with wonder
Feeling awe and amazement at the order and functioning of the world.
At the way you can keep this old world running smoothly
Admiring the divine ability to maintain the world's smooth operation.
Thinking of you always seems to soothe me
Finding comfort and solace in thoughts of the divine.
I know you're probably not a man or a woman
Acknowledging the abstract nature of the divine, beyond conventional human categories.
Or a time or a season
Speculating on the divine as transcending time and seasons.
But I'm here, and life is dear
Expressing gratitude for life and acknowledging its value.
And I guess that's a good enough reason
Seeing existence itself as a valid reason to appreciate and connect with the divine.
To say
Introducing a transition in the lyrics.
Just let me do
Expressing a willingness to fulfill a purpose or follow divine guidance.
What you put me here to
Accepting a role assigned by the divine and expressing readiness to fulfill it.
Let me be what you want me to be
Desiring to align one's identity with the divine's intentions.
And I hope it'll cheer you
Expressing hope that one's actions will bring joy or satisfaction to the divine.
I'm listening, and I think I can hear you
Reiterating attentiveness to divine guidance and a growing perception of it.
Even when I thought I didn't believe
Reflecting on past skepticism and acknowledging the belief that the divine had in the individual.
You believed in me
Acknowledging the support and belief of the divine even when self-doubt was present.
And everyone is a part of you
Asserting the interconnectedness of all individuals with the divine.
And anyone can know you
Stating that anyone can have knowledge and understanding of the divine.
All they've got to do is be
Emphasizing simplicity in connecting with the divine—just being is sufficient.
I'm listening, and I think I can hear you
Reiterating attentiveness and an increasing ability to perceive the divine.
