One Great Cry
One Great Cry: Embracing Love, Hope, and the Unseen
Lyrics
A thousand cry out in wonder
A thousand people express amazement or awe
A million pray â??God could you give us a sign?â??
Millions request a sign from God through prayer
"It's a heavy burden we're under
Acknowledging a significant burden or challenge
If you carry your, I'll carry mine"
Encouraging mutual support in facing individual burdens
How fine, how sweet the sound
Expressing the beauty and sweetness of relief
When I lay these sorrows and this poor heart down
Finding solace by releasing sorrows and heartache
It was love that always saved me
Attributing salvation to love
Hope that always found me
Highlighting the constant presence of hope
I was blind but now I see
A transformation from ignorance to understanding
We are no more than a moment
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of life
We're forever and ever and that's a fact
Stating the eternal nature of human existence
In joy and hope and hunger
In joy, hope, and hunger, acknowledging essential human experiences
In words and deeds we can't take back
Regret for irreversible words and actions
Where do we go from here
Pondering the uncertain future
And what does it mean
Questioning the meaning of life
Is there some perfect madness of faith
Exploring the concept of faith that believes in the unseen
That believes in what can't be seen
Asking if there is a form of irrational faith
So hold out your hands like altars
Inviting open and reverent gestures like altars
We are meant to be here
Affirming the purposeful existence of humanity
And we are meant to ask why
Posing the existential question of why we are here
If only to rise and falter
Recognizing the cyclical nature of success and failure
If only to give out one great cry
Emphasizing the significance of expressing a powerful cry
