Lyrics

I'm searchin' for my salvation

I am actively seeking my salvation

Oh yeah

Expressing affirmation or agreement with the search for salvation

I'm tired of dragging

Feeling exhausted from the burden

On and on

Continuing despite difficulties

On and on

Emphasizing the persistence of the struggle

Day by day

Taking it one day at a time

Days with days

Highlighting the passage of time

I can feel the pain

Feeling emotional pain

The world is resting on my brain

Sense of responsibility for the world's challenges

I can feel the hurt of a broken child

Empathizing with the pain of a broken child

She's going insane

Concern for someone losing their sanity

I pray that she'll make it home

Praying for the well-being and return of the troubled individual

Home

Repetition emphasizing the concept of "home"

Times have changed

Recognizing societal changes

But we can rearrange the ills?

Belief in the potential to address societal issues

Society has swept on my feet

Feeling overwhelmed by societal challenges

Some words I can't even speak

Speechless in the face of certain difficulties

Still pressin'

Continuing to push forward

Movin' forward

Moving ahead without clear direction

Blindly

Acting without a clear plan or guidance

Without a trace

Searching for a purpose

Lookin' for a reason to go on

Continuing onward despite challenges

On

-

On

-

On

Repetition emphasizing perseverance


I pray to an unknown God

Seeking guidance from an unknown higher power

Please reveal yourself to me

Requesting revelation or clarity

Cuz hope is sifting from my hands

Feeling a loss of hope slipping away

Like lost time

Comparing hope to lost time

I can't make believe

Rejecting the act of pretending or creating false beliefs

I won't make believe

-

I can't make believe

-

When I look into your eyes

Questioning the depth of connection through eye contact

Do you know me

Asking if the observer is truly known

I'm searchin' for my soul

Continuing the search for one's soul

Searchin' on

Repetition emphasizing the ongoing search, prayer, and observation

On

-

Praying on

-

On

Looking on

On

I am searching

-

I am praying

-

I am looking

-

Searching on

On

Praying on

Looking on

For my salvation

Reiterating the quest for salvation
