Lyrics
God will save you, boy
Encouragement that salvation or help will come for a male individual
You just have to believe
Belief is necessary for positive outcomes, despite difficult circumstances
That beautiful things will come from broken times
Good things can arise from times of pain and hardship
Just like these, just like these
Emphasizing the recurrence of positive outcomes from adversity
God could save you, girl
Similar encouragement as line 1, directed towards a female individual
In this desert time of need
Describing a challenging period where divine intervention might be sought
Just lay your ashes down
Symbolic suggestion to relinquish past troubles for hopeful expectations
In hope of what you'll receive, you'll receive
Anticipation of receiving positive outcomes by letting go of pain
And it's OK to cry, it's OK to cry
Validating the acceptance of expressing emotions like crying
It's OK to wonder why
Assurance that questioning difficult situations is permissible
And as your tears fall down, they heal the ground
Implies that tears have a healing effect on the surroundings
A place that once was dry
Symbolic transformation of a once barren place into a fertile ground
It's OK to cry
Reiteration of the acceptance of crying as a natural response
God will save us now
Reaffirming the idea of divine assistance or rescue
Let His presence bring us peace
Seeking tranquility through the presence of a higher power
Lay your burdens down
Encouragement to release one's worries and hardships
Let them fall at His feet
Letting go of burdens by entrusting them to a higher authority
The fears are great in your mind
Recognition of immense fears and emotional turmoil
Your heart just aches for a sign
Expressing deep emotional pain and longing for a sign of hope
But there is hope and there is grace
Assurance of hope and grace despite bleak circumstances
In these gray skies
Symbolizing the presence of hope even in gloomy situations
It's OK to cry
Reiteration of the acceptance of crying as a natural and permissible reaction to hardship
