Gather
Gather: A Cry for Peace and Unity
Lyrics
Let us be humbled tonight
Expressing a desire for humility in the present moment.
In these depths show us the light
Seeking enlightenment or guidance in challenging circumstances.
Give us peace, lay down the mighty
Pleading for peace and a lowering of those in power.
In these depths, show us the light, please
Reiteration of the plea for enlightenment in difficult times.
Oh God, I pray to thee
A prayer to God for intervention or assistance.
Don't want to die before we're free
Expressing a desire to live freely before death.
Dive down inside this sea
Metaphorically diving into the depths of a challenge or situation.
And maybe at the bottom I'll find some key
Hoping to find a solution or understanding at the core of the issue.
Let us be humbled tonight
Repetition of the call for humility and guidance.
In these depths show us the light
Reiteration of the request for enlightenment in difficult times.
Give us peace, lay down the mighty
Continued plea for peace and a reduction of those in power.
In these depths, show us the light, please
Emphasizing the need for enlightenment in challenging situations.
Oh God, I pray to thee
A repeated prayer for divine intervention or guidance.
Don't want to die before we're free
Desire to live freely and avoid premature death.
Dive down inside this sea
Metaphorically descending into the depths of a challenge.
And maybe at the bottom I'll find some key
Hopeful exploration for a solution or key to the issue.
Oh God, will you hear me cry
Another plea to God, expressing the fear of witnessing more innocent lives lost.
Don't want to see another innocent die (on either side)
Specifically, not wanting to see innocence lost on either side of a conflict.
Dive down inside these depths
Continuing the metaphorical descent into challenging circumstances.
Keep my faith and hold my breath
Committing to maintaining faith and endurance during difficulties.
The more we fight, the less it bends
Reflecting on the resistance or inflexibility encountered during conflicts.
Lay down your arms, gather your friends
Advocating for unity and cooperation, putting down weapons and coming together.
Strengthen your heart and this will end
Encouraging emotional strength as a means to resolve conflicts.
Lay down your arms, gather your friends
Repetition of the call to disarm and unite with friends.
Lay down your arms, gather your friends
Emphasizing the importance of collective action and unity.
Lay down your arms, gather your friends
Further repetition of the plea to lay down arms and gather friends.
Gather your friends
A direct call to gather friends, reinforcing the theme of unity.
Oh God, I pray to thee
Reiteration of the prayer for divine guidance or intervention.
Don't want to die before we're free
Reaffirming the desire to live freely without premature death.
Dive down inside this sea
Continuation of the metaphorical descent, seeking a solution at the bottom.
And maybe at the bottom I'll find some key
Hoping to find a key or understanding in the depths of the challenge.
Oh God, will you hear me cry
A repeated plea to God, expressing the aversion to witnessing more innocent deaths.
Don't want to see another innocent die
Reiteration of the desire to avoid the loss of innocent lives.
Dive down to the deepest depths
A final dive into the metaphorical depths, maintaining faith and endurance.
Keep my faith and hold my breath
Concluding the theme of faith and endurance in the face of challenges.
