Through Your Eyes
Journey Within: Confronting Shadows Through Your Eyes
Lyrics
There's a chasm so deep, an everest so high
Describing profound challenges and obstacles, both deep and high.
There's a giant asleep who wakes up at night
Highlighting a powerful force that awakens during the night.
There's an evil so strong and a presence divine
Contrasting strong evil with a divine presence, both residing in the mind.
And they all make their home in my mind
Expressing that these contrasting forces find a home within the singer's mind.
Well I've forded the rivers and I've been swept along
Narrating experiences of navigating challenges and being carried along by life.
And I've slipped down my canyons in search of a song
Metaphorically slipping into personal struggles in pursuit of self-expression.
And I've fought off Goliath in the heat of the light
Recalling overcoming significant challenges like David facing Goliath.
Just to turn and let Delilah take my nights
Acknowledging vulnerability to temptation, likened to Delilah taking nights away.
Oh
A moment of reflection or emphasis.
Good God in Heaven come in and open up my heart
Invoking a divine presence to open the singer's heart.
'Cause You know I feel Your presence but I still can feel the dark
Expressing a simultaneous awareness of divine presence and the lingering darkness.
So take a good look inside me and tell me what You find
Requesting introspection and guidance on the inner self.
'Cause I can only see it through Your eyes
Emphasizing the limited perspective and seeking divine insight.
See it through Your eyes
Repetition for emphasis on seeing through the divine perspective.
'Cause You know every corner and every darkened room
Acknowledging divine knowledge of every aspect of the singer's life.
All my glory and honor and every empty tomb
Mentioning various aspects of the singer's life, both positive and challenging.
So won't You bring to the surface what's lovely and true
Expressing a desire for the positive and true aspects to be revealed.
And keep me on the road that leads to You
Seeking guidance to stay on the path leading to the divine.
Oh
A moment of reflection or emphasis.
Good God in Heaven come in and open up my heart
Repeated invocation for the divine to open the singer's heart.
'Cause You know I feel Your presence but I still can feel the dark
Reiterating the coexistence of divine presence and lingering darkness.
So take a good look inside me and tell me what You find
Continued introspection, seeking insight into the self.
'Cause I can only see it through Your eyes
Restating the limited perspective and reliance on divine perception.
See it through Your eyes
Repetition for emphasis on seeing through the divine perspective.
Oh
A moment of reflection or emphasis.
Good God in Heaven come in and open up my heart
Repetition of the plea for the divine to open the singer's heart.
'Cause You know I feel Your presence but I still can feel the dark
Reaffirming the simultaneous awareness of divine presence and darkness.
So take a good look inside me and tell me what You find
Continued introspection and a plea for understanding from the divine.
'Cause I can only see it through Your eyes
Reiterating the limited perspective and reliance on divine perception.
See it through Your eyes
Final repetition for emphasis on seeing through the divine perspective.
