Good to Know
Embraced by Grace: Rediscovering Hope in Francesca Battistelli's 'Good to Know'
Lyrics
Hello, old friend
Greeting an old acquaintance
I know it's been a while
Acknowledging a significant time gap
I'm here again
Returning once more to a familiar situation or feeling
And it won't be the last time
Implying a recurrent pattern of returning
I fall apart
Expressing a personal emotional breakdown
But You won't let me get too far
Belief in a force preventing complete breakdown or loss
You're speaking to my heart
Feeling a connection to a divine or emotional source
It's good to know
Expressing comfort in having certain knowledge
It's good to feel the arms of grace
Feeling the embrace of unearned favor or forgiveness
To know that my mistakes are covered by Your love
Understanding that personal errors are encompassed by love
It's good to know
Reiterating the reassurance in having specific knowledge
It's good to see that You won't change
Observing consistency in an entity's unchanging nature
When it's said and done
Asserting the permanence of sufficiency
You'll always be enough
Belief in an ever-available place of comfort or belonging
To know that I can always come back home
Confidence in the ability to return to a safe place or state
It's good to know
Reiterating the comfort derived from certain knowledge
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Repetitive expression without specific content)
It's good to know
-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-Goodbye, old me
Farewelling a former version of oneself
Yeah there's so much more that I
Acknowledging personal potential and growth
Know I could be
Relinquishing worries or concerns
So take my worries with
Invoking an entity to carry worries away
You when you leave
Placing hope in an anticipated support
There's hope that I am counting on
Belief in retaining hope even in difficult situations
'Cause I'm never too far gone
Rejecting the concept of being irretrievably lost
It's good to know
(Repetition of previous verses)
It's good to feel the arms of grace
-To know that my mistakes are covered by Your love
-It's good to know
-It's good to see that You won't change
-When it's said and done
-You'll always be enough
-To know that I can always come back home
-It's good to know
(Repetitive expression without specific content)
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-It's good to know
Recognition of a chance for redemption or renewal
That there's a second chance
Acknowledging the presence of another opportunity
Know that it's all in Your hands
Accepting the situation as beyond personal control
Even if I just don't understand
Acceptance despite a lack of complete understanding
'Cause I know that I will be alright
Expressing faith in eventual well-being
I finally see the other side
Perception of a positive outcome after difficulty
It takes the darkness to open up your eyes
Noting the role of hardship in gaining perspective
Sometimes
Recognizing the necessity of challenges
It's good to know
(Repetition of previous sentiments)
It's good to know
-I'm covered by Your love
-Oh, oh, it's good to know
Reiterating the comfort derived from certain knowledge
It's good to see that You won't change
(Repetition of previous sentiments)
When it's said and done You'll always be enough
-To know that I can always come back home
-To know that You will never let me go
Belief in an enduring connection or support
It's good to know
(Repetitive expression without specific content)
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-It's good to know
-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
-It's good to know
-It's good to know
-oh, oh, oh, oh
