Lead the Way
Walking by Faith: Discovering Light in the Darkness
Lyrics
Give me the words, 'cause I can't do this on my own
Request for guidance and support as the speaker feels unable to handle the situation alone.
With hands raised, I've been searching for you for far too long
Expressing a prolonged search for something or someone with hands raised, symbolizing surrender or openness.
So just make me quiet, or shine a light among my path
Desire for guidance or enlightenment to bring peace or clarity.
Sometimes we have to see where we're going to help us not turn back
Acknowledgment that sometimes knowing the destination helps prevent going backward.
So lead the way and I'll walk by faith
Commitment to follow a path of faith if shown the way.
Oh, this time these walls are falling down
Recognition that obstacles or challenges are being overcome.
So lead the way and I'll walk by faith
Reiteration of willingness to follow a path of faith.
No need for me to turn back around
Confidence that there is no reason to go back to the previous state.
Turn back around
Reiteration of the decision not to turn back.
Hands were shaking I was numb, down a dark road I would run
Description of a challenging and difficult past characterized by fear and uncertainty.
Telling myself nothing can be done 'cause all the doors had closed one by one
Belief that all options or opportunities have closed, leading to a sense of helplessness.
So I stopped right in my tracks, fell on my knees under attack
Moment of surrender and realization that a change is needed.
Telling myself you can't turn back, but I was wrong
Internal dialogue where the speaker challenges the idea of not turning back.
Yes I was wrong
Admission of a previous misconception or mistake.
So lead the way and I'll walk by faith
Reaffirmation of the commitment to follow a path guided by faith.
Oh, this time these walls are falling down
Noting the positive change or progress with metaphorical walls falling down.
So lead the way and I'll walk by faith
Repetition of the readiness to follow a path of faith.
No need for me to turn back around
Assertion that there is no need to revisit the past or go back.
Turn back around
Reiteration of the decision not to turn back.
Every little thing that's broken, everybody here who's hopeless
Repetition emphasizing that everyone, including broken and hopeless individuals, should let go of their burdens.
Take it off, take it off
-Oh, every little thing that's broken, everybody here who's hopeless
-Take it off, take it off
-Oh, every little thing that's broken, everybody here who's hopeless
-Take it off, take it off
-Oh, every little thing that's broken, everybody here who's hopeless
-Take it off, take it off
-And lead the way and I'll walk by faith
Final commitment to walk by faith, suggesting a resolution to continue with faith as a guide.
Oh, this time these walls are falling down
Observation of walls falling down, indicating continued progress or positive change.
So lead the way and I'll walk by faith
Reaffirmation of the commitment to walk by faith.
No need for me to turn back around
Confidence that there is no need to turn back.
Turn back around
Reiteration of the decision not to turn back.
