Oh God
Seeking Answers in Fragile Worlds: Jamie Cullum's 'Oh God' Exploration
Lyrics
I know it's been a while since I have talked to you
I acknowledge it's been a while since I last communicated with you
But maybe you're the one who makes the winds blow
Suggesting that the divine force might influence natural elements like the wind
We're looking at the stars without explanation
Observing the stars without a clear understanding
We contemplate as kings and simple men on trial
Reflecting on the shared experience of contemplating life's mysteries, irrespective of social status
Our little world's fragile
Highlighting the delicate nature of our world
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Questioning when the challenges or difficulties will cease
Maybe it's not just down to you
Contemplating whether the responsibility solely lies with a higher power
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
Asking if it's possible to regain what has been lost
So who's the last resort, oh God
Raising the question of who or what serves as the ultimate solution
Tumbling towards unclear destinations
Describing a state of uncertainty and lack of clear goals
Do they wash away the pain,
Pondering if challenges and difficulties can cleanse emotional pain
The wind and the searing rains
Referencing the impact of natural elements, wind, and rain on our experiences
As our powers interchange
Expressing the dynamic nature of power and its exchange
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Repeating the question about when the difficulties will end
Maybe it's not just down to you
Reiterating the uncertainty about whether the divine alone holds the answers
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
Re-emphasizing the desire to recover what has been lost
So who's the last resort, oh God
Persisting in questioning who or what can provide the ultimate solution
Oh God can you tell us when it's going to stop
Repeating the query about when the challenges will cease
Maybe it's not just down to you
Restating the uncertainty about whether the divine alone holds the answers
Oh God can we win back what we have lost
Reiterating the desire to recover what has been lost
So who's the last resort
Persisting in questioning who or what can provide the ultimate solution
