Humanity
Embracing the Unanswered: Lauren Grace's Reflection on Human Curiosity
Lyrics
On this side of heaven
Reflecting on the earthly experience
There are things we want to know
Desire for knowledge
Lots of complications
Life's complexities
That are out of our control
Events beyond our influence
We search for explanations
Seeking understanding
For a final certain word
Longing for absolute certainty
We want to find a reason
Desire to discover purpose
Make sense of what we’ve heard
Making sense of information
And although I sometimes wrestle with these questions in my head
Struggling with unanswerable questions
Maybe it’s best I’m left without the answers instead
Acceptance of not having all answers
While I never want to hinder curiosity
Supporting curiosity without hindrance
I’ll let God be God and accept my humanity
Embracing one's humanity and acknowledging divine authority
On this side of heaven
Reiteration of life's mysteries
There are things we want to know
Continued desire for understanding
Lots of complications
Recognition of challenges beyond control
That are out of our control
Acceptance of life's limitations
We search for explanations
Search for reasons behind events
For a final certain word
Desire for absolute certainty persists
We want to find a reason
Seeking purpose and meaning
Make sense of what we’ve heard
Making sense of acquired knowledge
And although I sometimes wrestle with these questions in my head
Ongoing internal struggle with unanswered questions
Maybe it’s best I’m left without the answers instead
Acceptance of uncertainty as preferable
While I never want to hinder curiosity
Encouraging curiosity while maintaining humility
I’ll let God be God and accept my humanity
Acknowledging the divine and embracing human nature
You can ask away, ask away
Inviting questions despite lack of definitive answers
There won't be an answer at the end of the day
Acknowledging the absence of clear solutions
You can ask away, ask away
Encouraging continued inquiry
Won’t be no resolution and to me that is okay
Acceptance of unresolved issues as acceptable
Cause although I sometimes wrestle with these questions in my head
Reiteration of internal questioning
Maybe it’s been I’m left without the answers instead
Acceptance of living without certain answers
While I never want to hinder curiosity
Balancing curiosity and acceptance
I’ll let God be God and accept my humanity
Embracing the divine and recognizing human limitations
