Pinky Promise
Finding Hope in the Dark: A Pinky Promise Journey
Lyrics
I am hurting from the shame
I am experiencing emotional pain and distress due to a sense of disgrace.
I am crying from this pain
I am shedding tears as a result of the physical or emotional suffering.
I am scared of who I am
I feel frightened and uneasy about my own identity.
I wish that I could be a better man
I desire to become a better person than I currently am.
The weight of the world on my shoulders
I feel the immense burden of responsibilities and challenges.
I'm seeing the scars on my brothers
I observe the visible wounds or emotional pain suffered by others close to me.
So I just need a quick reminder
I seek a quick reminder of a promise I made using a symbolic gesture (pinky promise) to my mother.
Of my pinky promise to my mother
The promise involves persevering even when faced with extreme difficulties.
That even when it gets too hard
Reiterating the commitment to keep fighting when faced with adversity.
I'll keep on fighting through
Expressing determination to persist through challenges.
Cuz even when I'm falling apart
Acknowledging that even in moments of personal breakdown, there is divine love.
There's still a God who loves me too
Belief in the presence of a loving God despite personal struggles.
When the past is filled with scars
Reflecting on a past marked by emotional wounds.
Remember each day is new
Encouragement to embrace the opportunity for renewal each day.
Now look up towards the stars
Encouraging to look towards hope and positivity symbolized by the stars.
Because He made them too
Acknowledging the Creator's role in the existence of stars.
So I'll put my hope in Jesus Christ
Placing faith and trust in Jesus Christ for hope.
He'll erase those tears I've cried
Belief in the redemptive power of Jesus to heal emotional wounds.
The shame is now no longer mine
The sense of shame has been lifted through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
On the cross He sacrificed
Highlighting the sacrificial act of Jesus on the cross.
The weight of the world on His shoulders
Connecting the burden of the world with the burdens Jesus carried.
He took the scars of my brothers
Recognizing Jesus' empathy for the pain experienced by others.
So please Lord give me this reminder
Seeking a reminder from the Lord of the commitment made to the speaker's mother.
Of my pinky promise to my mother
Reaffirming the pinky promise made to persevere through difficulties.
That even when it gets too hard
Commitment to endure even when faced with extreme challenges.
I'll keep on fighting through
Reiterating the determination to keep fighting in difficult times.
Cuz even when I'm falling apart
Despite personal struggles, the speaker acknowledges the love of God.
There's still a God who loves me too
Affirming the presence of a loving God in times of personal breakdown.
And when I'm wandering through the dark
Expressing confidence that God will guide the speaker through difficult times.
He's gonna lead me to
Belief that God will lead the speaker to a place of peace.
A peace that goes beyond my understanding
Desiring a profound peace that transcends understanding.
A purpose far beyond what I could dream
Aspiring to a purpose in life that surpasses personal dreams.
His glory and His beauty is breathtaking
Acknowledging the awe-inspiring nature of God's glory and beauty.
Please lead me back home
Pleading for guidance back to a place of belonging and comfort.
Come find me
An urgent plea for God to find and reconnect with the speaker.
Oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition of the plea for God to find the speaker.
Come find me
Continued repetition of the plea for divine intervention.
Oh oh oh oh oh
Further repetition of the plea for God's presence in difficult times.
Come find me
Continued plea for God to find and support the speaker.
Even when it gets too hard
A reminder to persevere through challenges, echoing the earlier commitment.
Just keep on fighting through
An encouragement to persist even when facing overwhelming difficulties.
Cuz even when you're falling apart
Reiterating the presence of a loving God even in moments of personal breakdown.
There's still a God who loves you too
A final reminder of the enduring love of God for the listener.
