Only Hope
Eternal Yearning: A Melody of Hope and Surrender
Lyrics
There's a song that's inside of my soul
Expressing the presence of a deeply felt song within the speaker's soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
Acknowledging repeated attempts to capture the essence of the inner song in writing.
I'm awake in the infinite cold
Describing a state of awareness in a vast and cold expanse.
But you sing to me over and over and over again
Highlighting the comforting repetition of a significant person singing to the speaker.
So I lay my head back down
Choosing to lay down and engage in a moment of reflection.
And I lift my hands and pray
Engaging in prayer by lifting hands, expressing a desire for a connection.
To be only yours I pray
Specifically praying to be exclusively someone else's.
To be only yours
Reiterating the desire to belong entirely to the person being addressed.
I know now you're my only hope
Acknowledging the addressed person as the speaker's sole source of hope.
Sing to me the song of the stars
Requesting the singing of a celestial song, possibly symbolizing inspiration and guidance.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
Describing a joyous and lively celestial display, invoking positive emotions.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Expressing a sense of distance from one's dreams and seeking reassurance through song.
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
Asking to be reminded of the plans and purpose that the addressed person has for the speaker.
So I lay my head back down
Repeating the act of laying down in contemplation or surrender.
And I lift my hands and pray
Repeating the gesture of lifting hands in prayerful surrender.
To be only yours I pray
Reiterating the desire to be exclusively possessed by the addressed person through prayer.
To be only yours I know now you're my only hope
Affirming that the addressed person is the sole hope of the speaker.
I give you my destiny
Offering one's destiny, symbolizing a complete surrender and commitment.
I'm giving you all of me
Expressing the complete giving of oneself to the addressed person.
I want your symphony
Desiring a harmonious and beautiful connection, akin to a symphony.
Singing in all that I am
Wishing for the addressed person to sing in all aspects of the speaker's being.
At the top of my lungs
Expressing a loud and passionate declaration of self.
I'm giving it back
Giving back the passionate expression received, possibly in the form of love or devotion.
So I lay my head back down
Repeating the act of laying down, signifying ongoing reflection and surrender.
And I lift my hands and pray
Reiterating the gesture of lifting hands in prayerful surrender.
To be only yours I pray
Repeating the desire to be exclusively possessed through prayer.
To be only yours I pray
Continuing the prayerful request to be solely owned by the addressed person.
To be only yours I know now you're my only hope
Affirming that the addressed person remains the sole hope of the speaker.
