Lyrics
Drums
Introduction to the musical element "Drums."
Yeah
Expression of agreement or affirmation.
I've seen some dark days
Reflection on difficult experiences or challenging times.
I've seen some bright nights
Acknowledgment of positive moments or joyful occasions.
Used to throw shade
Previous tendency to criticize or express negativity.
Now I just spread light
Transformation into promoting positivity and enlightenment.
Don't wanna play games
Rejection of engaging in deceitful or manipulative activities.
This ain't fight night
Emphasis that the current situation is not a physical altercation.
Don't wanna be like Mike
Desire not to emulate the achievements of Michael Jordan but to emulate Christ.
I wanna be Christlike
Expressing the aspiration to embody Christ's qualities.
Yeah
Reiteration of the desire to do what is morally right.
I wanna do what's right
Acknowledgment of the struggle between knowing what's right and doing what's wrong.
So why do I do what's wrong
Resistance to walking in the path of righteousness.
Don't wanna walk in sight
Confession of succumbing to temptation by prolonged observation.
But I keep staring too long
Frustration with inner conflicts and shortcomings.
And this is frustrating
Acknowledgment of personal brokenness.
Cause I'm a broken man
Questioning the inclination to harbor negative emotions.
Why do I love to hate
Conflict between love and hatred, reluctance to reconcile.
And hate to make amends
Relating inner struggles to inherent sinful tendencies.
It's in my sinful nature
Acknowledgment of presenting well superficially but broken internally.
I look good on paper
Recognition of moral imperfection.
But in my soul I know I'm just as broken as my neighbors
Realization of shared brokenness with others.
That's why they need to hear it
Importance of sharing the message of redemption.
That's why they need the Lord
Emphasizing the need for spiritual guidance.
For those in Christ, we can't imagine what He has in store
Hope and anticipation for believers in Christ.
Cause we be truly free
Freedom found in surrendering to Christ's leadership.
When we just let Him lead
Encouragement to follow Christ rather than rigid rules.
He said don't follow a set of rules, come follow me
Personal decision to abandon worldly attachments and follow Christ.
So I just dropped it all
Act of surrendering and seeking Christ.
And I ran to Him
Choosing to follow the one who sacrificed for life.
The one who had to die
Repetition emphasizing the significance of Christ's sacrifice for life.
So you and I could live
-So you and I could live
-So you and I could live
-Yeah
Reiteration of having experienced challenging times.
I've seen some dark days
Repetition of earlier verses for emphasis and musical continuity.
