Lyrics
1 PETER 2:16-17
Reference to Bible verse 1 Peter 2:16-17, emphasizing submission to authority and respect for all.
The things your eyes have seen
Addressing the experiences witnessed, possibly involving hardship or trauma.
Are the content of my darkest dreams
Revealing personal fears or nightmares, sharing inner struggles.
But you take it willingly
Acknowledging the voluntary acceptance of difficulties or challenges.
The war that keeps my family free
Connecting personal struggles to the larger context of war and its role in preserving freedom.
To all the brothers that have gone
Paying homage to fallen comrades or fellow soldiers.
I want your memory to live on
Expressing a desire for the memory of those lost to endure.
As I'm on my knees
Engaging in a prayerful moment, possibly seeking solace or guidance.
I hope that your heart can hear me
Expressing hope that the deceased can somehow perceive the prayer.
I'm praying as you're sleeping
Continuing with a prayerful tone, wishing for peaceful dreams.
Peace will find your dreams tonight
Hoping for a sense of peace to accompany the sleeping individual.
And you'll know
Emphasizing gratitude for the sacrifices made by others.
I am so thankful for all you've done
Expressing thankfulness for the collective contributions of those being honored.
Across the foreign shores
Recognizing the significance of individuals from distant lands who won't be forgotten.
Are the souls I won't ignore
Highlighting a commitment to remember and honor the souls of those who bravely faced challenges.
That would not run from your enemies
Praising the courage of those who stood firm in the face of adversaries.
As we rest in our peace
Reflecting on the peace that follows the resolution of conflicts.
Tonight I'm praying for your child
Offering prayers for the well-being of the next generation, possibly children.
That it won't be a long while
Expressing a desire for a swift return of loved ones.
Till all our brothers come home
Anticipating the return of all individuals who served in conflict zones.
To fight no more
Yearning for a world where the need for military action ceases.
I'm praying as you're sleeping
Continuing with prayers, emphasizing the time of sleep as a moment for solace.
Peace will find your dreams tonight
Reiterating the desire for peaceful dreams for those who have faced hardships.
And you'll know
Expressing gratitude for the sacrifices made by individuals.
I am so thankful for all you've done
Repeating the acknowledgment of thankfulness for the contributions of others.
And as the rain stops falling
Shifting to a metaphorical description of rain, possibly representing difficult times.
I thank my God,
Expressing gratitude to a higher power for concealing emotional pain.
It's camouflaging the tears
Describing tears as camouflaged by external circumstances.
That fall from my eyes
Highlighting the emotional struggle as a loved one returns home.
As you're coming home
Welcoming the return of a loved one, possibly from military service.
Come home
Reiterating the desire for a safe return home.
