Out My Window
Hopeful Reflections: Finding Light Amidst Life's Strangeness
Lyrics
Look out my window and what do I see?
Observation of the outside world through the window
Things are even stranger than they look on TV, well
Things are stranger in reality compared to TV
I got to believe things are gonna be alright
Optimistic belief that things will be fine
When my children lay their heads down at night
Hope for the well-being of the speaker's children at bedtime
Thing are even stranger they seem
Acknowledgment of the strange and divided world
They got the whole world divided into teams, well
Global division into teams or groups
Got to believe that things are gonna be alright
Continued belief in a positive outcome
When my children lay their heads down at night
Hope for the safety of the speaker's children at night
Lord, send your angels and tell em to pick up the pace
Request for divine intervention and assistance
Well have some mercy Lord on the human race
Plea for mercy on humanity
Well ain't there more to life than just silver and gold?
Questioning the value of material wealth
Can't you save a soul that's been sold?
Desire for the redemption of a soul that has been lost
Well I gots to believe, I got to believe that things are gonna be alright, yeah
Reiteration of the belief in a positive outcome
When my children lay their heads down at night
Continued hope for the well-being of the speaker's children
Well Mother Nature she ain't really feelin' too good
Personification of nature's discomfort and displeasure
People ain't treatin' one another like they should
Observation of people's mistreatment of each other
I said I got to believe, I got to believe that things are gonna be alright, alright
Reaffirmation of the belief in a positive outcome
When my children lay their heads down at night
Hope for the safety of the speaker's children at night
Well send your angels down Lord and tell em to pick up the pace
Repeat request for divine intervention and assistance
Have some mercy, have some mercy on the whole human race
Repeat plea for mercy on humanity
Lord send your angels down and tell em to pick up the pace
Second request for divine intervention and assistance
Well have some mercy, have some mercy on the whole human race
Second plea for mercy on humanity
I got to believe that things are gonna be alright
Reiteration of belief in a positive outcome
When my children lay their heads down at night
Hope for the well-being of the speaker's children at bedtime
