What If God Fell from the Sky
Walking Past Divinity
Lyrics
What if God fell from the sky
Contemplating the hypothetical scenario of God descending from the sky.
Would you notice, or just walk by
Questioning whether people would pay attention or ignore the divine presence.
What if Christ took your hand
Imagining the possibility of Christ reaching out for a connection.
And you just ran
Considering the idea of rejecting or avoiding such a divine encounter.
What if I couldn't see
Reflecting on personal experiences of innocence and trust at the age of twelve.
I was twelve, so trusting
Expressing vulnerability and reliance on trust at a young age.
You take hands, put on me
Recalling a moment where someone took advantage, possibly inappropriately.
You had needs
Acknowledging the existence of personal needs in relationships.
So don't tell me 'bout nothin'
Rejecting the idea of hearing about certain things due to a desire for ignorance.
'Cause I don't want to know it
Reiterating the preference for ignorance and avoidance of certain knowledge.
I don't want to know it
-Don't talk about your morals
Discouraging discussions about morality without corresponding actions.
If you ain't gonna show it
Insisting on the importance of demonstrating morality rather than just talking about it.
You ain't gonna show it
-Don't tell me 'bout religion
Rejecting discussions about religion without observable commitment.
If you ain't gonna live it
Emphasizing the contrast between talking about religion and actually living its principles.
And you sure ain't living it
-And don't talk about love
Warning against discussing love without genuine acts of love.
If you ain't gonna give it
Insisting on the importance of practicing love rather than just talking about it.
What if God fell from the sky
Repeating the initial contemplation of divine encounters and the potential response.
Would you notice, or just walk by
-What if Christ took your hand
-And you just ran
-Would you be damned
Raising the question of facing consequences (damnation) for avoiding divine connections.
Don't tell me 'bout nothing
Reiterating the rejection of hearing about certain topics without corresponding actions.
'Cause uh, I don't want to know it
-I don't want to know it
-Don't talk about your morals
-If you ain't gonna show it
-And you ain't gonna show it
-Don't tell me 'bout religion
-If you ain't gonna live it
-And you sure ain't living it
-And don't talk about love (more on that later)
-If you ain't gonna give it
-What if God fell from the sky
Restating the hypothetical scenario and questioning the potential consequences of avoidance.
Would you notice, or just walk by
-What if Christ took your hand
-And you just ran
-Would you be damned
-Mmm hmm
-So take my hand
Inviting or urging someone to take the speaker's hand, possibly suggesting a genuine connection.
