If You Were Here
Resilience Unveiled: Seeking God's Guidance in Life's Unanswered Questions
Lyrics
God, can you show me how to grow
Asking for guidance from a higher power to learn and evolve.
These wings of mine are shorn and shattered in the cold
Feeling emotionally and spiritually damaged and seeking help.
I learn each lesson over and over and over again
Repeatedly experiencing and trying to understand life's lessons.
But I'm still small and worn
Despite learning, feeling small and weary.
God I know that you are near
Acknowledging the presence of a higher power.
But each time my head spins from what it hears
Feeling overwhelmed or confused by conflicting information or experiences.
I wonder why you left so much unresolved
Questioning why certain things are left unresolved by the higher power.
I can't change it alone
Feeling unable to change situations independently.
If you were here
Expressing longing for the presence of the higher power.
How would you speak?
Wondering how the higher power would communicate.
While the world keeps on revealing itself
Observing the world revealing its true nature.
For what it is
Recognizing reality for what it truly is.
God, can you show me how to trust
Seeking guidance on how to have faith and trust in the higher power.
How you grow again the garden from the dust
Reflecting on the higher power's ability to rejuvenate and recreate.
To put myself aside and read between the lines enough to see the signs of change
Trying to understand deeply and perceive changes beyond the surface.
If you were here
Imagining how the higher power would express love.
How would you love?
Considering the world's tendency to take more than it gives.
While the world keeps on taking for itself more than it gives
(Empty line, no explicit meaning conveyed.)
If you were here
Pondering how the higher power would approach living.
How would you live?
Contemplating handling life's broken aspects.
How would you pick up the broken pieces of existence
Learning from the higher power about finding purpose in existence.
To teach me my part in it
Understanding one's role in restoring lost beauty in life.
To show how you bring back to life all the beauty we have lost?
Recognizing the higher power's ability to revive lost beauty in the world.
