Among The Believers
Embracing the Light: Darlene Love's Anthem of Hope Among the Believers
Lyrics
We are poets, we're soldiers
We identify as poets and soldiers
We're children of the night
We consider ourselves children of the night
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah)
Expression of affirmation or agreement
With the turn of a dial we're sanctified
Through a simple action, we feel purified
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah)
Reiteration of the sense of purification
We are the rebels who carry your names
We are rebellious individuals carrying your names
We learn from your history and bury your pain
We learn from the past and bury the pain
Please wait for us; it's not too late for us
A plea to wait as there's still hope for us
I remain among the believers
Emphasizing the commitment to remain among the believers
I remain among the believers
Reiteration of the commitment to stay among the believers
Out in the desert where the gypsy pirates ride
Describing a location, possibly metaphorical, with gypsy pirates
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah)
Expression of agreement or emphasis
I see peacemakers coming, I see justice in our time
Anticipation of peacemakers and justice in the future
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah)
Reiteration of anticipation and affirmation
Your personal politics ain't got no heart
Critique that personal politics lacks compassion
Your strength has no power; you're scared of the dark
Commentary on the weakness of strength and fear of the unknown
Please wait for us; it's not too late for us
Reiteration of the plea to wait, expressing hope
I remain among the believers
Reaffirmation of the commitment to remain among the believers
I remain among the believers
Repeat of the commitment to stay among the believers
Your fear keeps you angry, deaf, dumb, and blind
Your fear leads to anger, ignorance, and blindness
Your greed is a hunger that eats it's own kind
Describing the destructive nature of greed
(Please wait for us) Please wait for us
Repetition of the plea to wait
(It's not too late for us) It's not too late for us
Reiteration that it's not too late for positive change
I remain among the believers
Reaffirmation of the commitment to remain among the believers
Yes, I do
A personal affirmation that the speaker remains among the believers
I remain among the believers
Reiteration of the personal commitment to remain among the believers
Yeah, everyday
Everyday affirmation of remaining among the believers
I remain among the believers
Repetition of the commitment to remain among the believers
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or emphasis
I remain among the believers
Final repetition of the commitment to remain among the believers
