Lyrics
I’ve been looking from the outside, outside
Feeling like an outsider, not fully engaged or involved
I’ve been walking on a straight line, straight line
Following a predictable, narrow path without deviation
Scared to let the world see my failures, who I am, or who I’ve been
Fearful of revealing personal flaws, true self, or past mistakes to the world
I’ve been waiting for somebody else to
Hoping for someone else to take risks on their behalf
Take the chance that I am so afraid to
Afraid to take a chance themselves
I don’t know how to find myself am I the only one the only one
Uncertain about self-discovery, feeling isolated in this struggle
Oh I wanna feel You move me like a river running through me
Desire for a spiritual experience that profoundly impacts and moves them
I am so tired of trying to prove it I’m never gonna do it alone
Exhausted from attempting to prove themselves, realizing they can't do it alone
God I need You to be my identity
Seeking God to define their sense of self and purpose
It’s always easier to hide behind that
Choosing to hide behind a facade or protective cover
Camouflage that keeps our hearts so guarded
Metaphorical reference to protective clothing that shields emotions and vulnerabilities
But there’s no shame when we surrender everything to You
Realizing the freedom in surrendering everything to a higher power (God)
Everything to You
Reinforcing the act of surrendering everything to God
I want to see the world change, see the system cave in
Desire to witness significant global change and the breakdown of established systems
You pull our hearts from the ashes
Belief that God rescues and restores individuals from their brokenness
The cry of the captive is rising
An outcry for liberation from captivity or oppression
