Almost Didn't Recognize You
Unveiling the Divine Symphony: Almost Missed Recognizing the Extraordinary
Lyrics
Woke up early to my consternation
Waking up early, feeling uneasy or disturbed
I had planned on sleeping long
Had planned for a long sleep but couldn't achieve it
Wasn’t looking for an invitation
Not expecting or seeking an invitation
To the breaking of the dawn
Unexpectedly witnessing the dawn
But the sky became a burning ember
The sky's transformation into a bright, fiery color
And I could not look away
Compelled to pay attention to the spectacle
With the moon I made a slow surrender
Surrendering slowly to the beauty of the moon
To the glory of the day
Embracing the glory of the new day
That was when I realized
Realization of not recognizing something earlier
I almost didn’t recognize You
Almost not recognizing a divine or significant presence
Always such a sweet surprise
Recognition of the presence being a sweet surprise
Every time I recognize You
The joy of recognizing the divine presence repeatedly
I was standing at the intersection
Being at a point of decision or change
Waiting for the light to change
Waiting for circumstances to shift
There were passersby in each direction
Observing people passing by without personal connections
All just faces without names
Faces in the crowd lacking individual identities
Suddenly it seemed my vision shifted
Shift in perception, seeing the world differently
Until right before my eyes
A moment of clarity or revelation
It was just as if a curtain lifted
Symbolic lifting of a metaphorical curtain
And every stranger seemed to shine
Perceiving the uniqueness and radiance in every stranger
That was when I realized
Recurrence of the realization of not recognizing something significant
I almost didn’t recognize You
Almost missing the recognition of a divine presence
Always such a sweet surprise
Consistent joy and delight in recognizing the divine
Every time I recognize You
Reveling in the repeated recognition of the divine
Well I thought You were mostly incognito
Misjudging the subtlety of a divine presence
I could not have been more wrong
Realizing a deeper, more pervasive divine influence
The whole universe is Your cathedral
Expansive recognition of the entire universe as sacred
And every heartbeat is Your song
Perceiving the divine in every heartbeat
I can’t count how many times
Countless instances of nearly missing divine recognition
I almost didn’t recognize You
Almost not acknowledging the divine in various situations
Always such a sweet surprise
Consistent joy and sweetness in realizing the divine presence
Every time I recognize You
Repeating the joy of recognizing the divine
