From This War
Rising Beyond Conflict: A Prayer for Guidance
Lyrics
My heart calls out in the darkness
Expressing a heartfelt cry in the midst of darkness.
My tears frozen deep within
Describing tears held deep within, possibly symbolizing hidden pain.
Trembling with an echo of prayer
Experiencing a trembling sensation, accompanied by a prayerful echo.
In my shell of indignation
Feeling enclosed in a shell of indignation, a protective barrier.
Sealing the truth from my lips
Choosing to keep the truth sealed and unspoken.
Before You I stand mute
Standing before a higher power in silence.
Wishing I could connect the dots
Expressing a desire to understand the connection between emotions and actions.
Between how I feel and what I do
Seeking guidance in aligning feelings with deeds.
Guide my footsteps
Pleading for guidance in life's journey.
From this war
Specifically asking for guidance and protection in a personal war.
Shield me from the chaos
Requesting a shield from the chaos that surrounds.
Keep my foes at bay
Asking for defense against adversaries.
And lift me up
Seeking elevation and support.
Raise my voice
Yearning for a stronger and more impactful voice.
Crash through these waves
Metaphorically desiring to overcome challenges.
From this war
Reiterating the plea for guidance and protection in the ongoing personal struggle.
Please Hashem
Addressing Hashem directly, asking for uplifting.
Lift me up today
Repeating the request for elevation, emphasizing urgency.
Hollowed by a fire of self-contempt
Feeling hollowed by self-contempt, possibly internal struggles.
Alone shivering on the floor
Expressing loneliness and vulnerability on the floor.
Sated by the venom of emptiness
Saturated by the emptiness, suggesting a sense of despair.
Buried alive
Using the metaphor of being buried alive, feeling trapped.
My embers burn with faith inside
Despite challenges, maintaining faith within.
Stand tall in the face of these false gods
Choosing to stand firm against false beliefs.
Masked in a voice of temptation
Acknowledging the temptation masked in deceptive voices.
Shelter and conceal me from this fight
Seeking shelter and concealment from internal conflicts.
In this darkness Hashem
Acknowledging Hashem as a source of light in darkness.
You are my light
Reaffirming a reliance on Hashem's guidance.
Guide my footsteps
Repetition of the plea for guidance in life's journey.
From this war
Reiterating the request for protection in the ongoing personal struggle.
Shield me from the chaos
Repeating the plea for a shield from surrounding chaos.
Keep my foes at bay
Reiterating the need for defense against adversaries.
And lift me up
Emphasizing the desire for elevation and support.
Raise my voice
Repeating the yearning for a stronger and impactful voice.
Crash through these waves
Metaphorically expressing the desire to overcome challenges and obstacles.
From this war
Reiterating the plea for guidance and protection in the ongoing personal struggle.
Please Hashem
Addressing Hashem again, urgently requesting uplifting.
Lift me up today
Final repetition of the request for elevation, emphasizing immediacy.
