Keep Me from Blowing Away
Holding onto Hope Amidst Life's Turbulence
Lyrics
Well I spent my whole lifetime
Expressing having lived an entire life.
In a world where the sunshine
Refers to a world where positivity or good things don't stick around.
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
Describes the lack of consistent happiness or joy.
I squandered emotions
Wasted feelings on insignificant reasons.
On the slightest of notions
Invested emotions in easily attainable affection.
And the first easy loving I found
First encountered love that was effortless.
But soon all the good times
Reflects on past enjoyable and carefree moments.
The gay times and play times
Happy and carefree moments.
Like colors run together and fade
Memories fade and lose their vibrancy.
Oh Lord if you hear me
Plea to God for attention and help.
Touch me and hold me
Asking for divine touch and support.
And keep me from blowing away
Begging not to succumb to life's challenges.
There's times when I trembled
Moments of fear or anxiety.
When my mind remembered
Recollection of days that slipped away.
The days that just crumbled away
Days passed without achievements.
With nothing to show
Only having little to show for one's life.
But these lines that I know
References to the visible effects of age and experience.
Are beginning to show in my face
Physical signs of aging becoming evident.
Oh Lord if you're listening
Recognition of personal faults despite seeking help.
I know I'm no Christian
Admission of not being devout in faith.
And I ain't got much coming to me
Not expecting much due to personal shortcomings.
So send down some sunshine
Request for positive intervention.
Throw out your lifeline
Plea for support and assistance.
And keep me from blowing away
Seeking help to not be overwhelmed by life's challenges.
Oh Lord if you hear me
Repetition of plea for divine intervention.
Touch me and hold me
Reiteration of the request for divine support.
And keep me from blowing away
Continued plea to be saved from despair or downfall.
