Lyrics
here's to being hopeful
Expressing optimism or positive outlook
look at where it got us
Reflecting on the consequences of hope
i know it's easier to just be mad
Acknowledging the ease of anger but advocating for a more complex understanding
but we don't know the plan
Highlighting uncertainty about the grander scheme or purpose
here's to being honest
Emphasizing the value of honesty
look at where it got us
Reflecting on the outcomes of being truthful
i know it's easier to be upset
Recognizing the simplicity of being upset but suggesting a deeper understanding
but we don't know the plan
Reiterating the uncertainty about the larger plan or purpose
i hope you know that you're not worthless
Affirming the value of the individual, combating feelings of worthlessness
love exists inside of broken men
Positing that love can exist even in broken individuals
suffering but staying hopeful
Enduring difficulties while maintaining hope
everything you need is found with Him
Encouraging reliance on a higher power for everything needed
we all know things that hurt
Recognizing the existence of painful experiences
things that mend
Acknowledging the healing aspects in life
suffering is the beginning of life
Contemplating suffering as an integral part of life
so we learn not to die
Suggesting that enduring suffering teaches us how to live
things that hurt don't kill, just make us fight
Arguing that painful experiences don't lead to death but rather strengthen resilience
everything's so helpless
Expressing a sense of helplessness or despair
look at where i got us
Reflecting on the outcomes of actions or decisions
i know it's easier to just pretend that it all goes away
Recognizing the temptation to ignore problems and pretend they disappear
but there is so much power
Highlighting the power in being straightforward or truthful
in simply being honest
Emphasizing the limited knowledge and understanding that individuals possess
the only thing we know is just how little that we do
Stressing the humility in recognizing our lack of knowledge
