Lyrics

Have I committed sins

Questioning whether one has committed sins.

That never have been? Of course

Expressing uncertainty about sins that may exist.

Am I mistaken, at the root shaken

Wondering if one is fundamentally disturbed or unsettled.

From their very source

Questioning the origins of this disturbance.

In receipt of redemption?

Seeking or hoping for redemption.


Have you committed crimes

Asking if someone else has committed crimes.

In and out of times? Amen

Referring to actions in different time periods.

Are you aware that there are cares

Recognition of responsibilities or concerns that do not recur.

And they don't come again

Implying that certain opportunities or situations are singular.

In retreat from redemption?

Retreating or moving away from the possibility of redemption.


Can be granted to us

Suggesting the possibility of being forgiven or granting forgiveness.

Or be granted by us

Highlighting the reciprocity of granting or receiving forgiveness.

But I believe it's due us anyway

Belief in deserving redemption regardless.


If we are to proceed

Emphasizing the necessity of trust to move forward.

The first thing that we need is trust

Trust being a foundational element for progress.

And make a decision

Encouraging decision-making without conditions.

Without any condition that we simply must

Stressing the imperative nature of a decision.

Be in receipt of redemption

Insistence on receiving redemption.


A whispering wind

Describing a subtle, gentle wind.

Precise and clear

Portraying the wind as accurate and distinct.

Carries all willing to hear

Indicating the wind carries messages for those willing to listen.


A whispering wind

Reinforcing the cleansing nature of the wind.

Cleans the streets

Implying the wind follows and finishes what it starts.

Closely follows and completes

Completing the cleaning process.


A whispering wind

Symbolizing the wind as an igniter of change and renewal.

Ignites the dawn

Bringing about a new beginning at dawn.

Over our beds and then is gone

Describing the wind's transient nature.


On a whispering wind

Stating the birth of truth on the wind.

Truth is born, cleansing all

Implying the cleansing of those who have made promises.

Who have sworn

Connecting truth and redemption for those who have pledged.


On a whispering wind

Reiterating redemption carried by the wind.

Redemption

Repeating the association of redemption with the wind.

On a whispering wind

Reemphasizing redemption being brought by the wind.

Redemption

Continuing to stress the association between redemption and the wind.

On a whispering wind

Further reinforcing the link between redemption and the wind.

Redemption

Concluding by emphasizing redemption on the wind.
