Lyrics
When time and tide has failed you
Facing disappointment when time and circumstances have let you down
And the oceans have all run dry
Metaphorically describing a desolate and barren state, emphasizing hopelessness
I pray return to the shore
A plea to return to a place of safety and stability
For the treasure in the sand
Highlighting the value of hidden or overlooked treasures in challenging situations
Closed off hearts and clouded minds are
Emphasizing the negative consequences of pursuing worldly desires
The result when we seek for things of this world
Exploring the negative outcomes when seeking materialistic pursuits
We've become slaves to our possessions
Acknowledging the enslavement to material possessions and the need for a change
We need regeneration
Expressing the necessity for renewal and revival
Strength for today
Desiring strength to face the challenges of the present
Hope for tomorrow
Seeking optimism and positive outlook for the future
Strength for today
Reiteration of the need for strength in the present
And hope for tomorrow
Reiteration of hope for the future
These roads once travelled lay abandoned
Describing abandoned paths once taken
Who will stand by His side
Pondering who will remain faithful to a higher power
As we weather the storms of this fallen world
Enduring the trials and challenges of a fallen world
You can't wait at the crossroads
Advising against passively waiting for change
Waiting for the winds to change is death
Stating that waiting for external changes without action leads to stagnation
I will not let this world take what's left of me
Asserting resilience against the negative influences of the world
Casting off this misery
Deciding to overcome suffering and hardships
Putting faith in eternity
Placing trust in eternal values rather than temporary circumstances
If you abide in Me, My words abide in you
Quoting a biblical reference, emphasizing the importance of spiritual connection
Ask for whatever you wish it will be done for you
Encouraging faith and assurance in the fulfillment of one's wishes through spiritual alignment
Strength for today
Reiterating the need for strength in facing present challenges
And hope for tomorrow
Reiterating hope and optimism for the future
These roads once travelled lay abandoned
Recalling abandoned paths from the past
Who will stand by His side
Raising the question of allegiance to a higher power during worldly trials
As we weather the storms of this fallen world
Enduring challenges and difficulties in a fallen world
You can't wait at the crossroads
Warning against passive waiting for change at a crossroads
Waiting for the winds to change is death
Emphasizing the consequences of inaction, stating that waiting for change is akin to death
