It's You, Isn't It
Guiding Light: Finding Strength and Peace in Life's Challenges
Lyrics
I've always had this guiding light
The speaker has always had a guiding force.
Leading me on through the darkest of nights
Even during the darkest times, this force led them.
But somewhere along the way
At some point, the speaker lost their determination to fight.
I lost my will to fight
Expressing a desire to hide away, reminiscent of childhood.
Sometimes all I wanna do is hide under my blanket fort
Feeling abandoned, possibly by a parent.
Like I was five years old
Referencing a young age, indicating vulnerability.
and I realized my daddy left me for good
Realization of a parental figure's departure.
So where can I run to
Seeking a place of refuge.
Where can I hide
Desire for safety and protection.
Who will protect me
Seeking guidance and guardianship.
From the troubles of this life
Escaping life's difficulties.
It's you, isn't it
Realization that the guiding force is someone specific.
Holding my hand
Feeling supported and comforted by this presence.
Leading me gently
Guidance towards a promised or better place.
Into your promised land
It's you, isn't it
Recognition of constant companionship.
Walking by my side
Continuous support and aid from this individual.
Speaking so softly
Communication filled with care and tenderness.
Making sure I'm alright
Ensuring the speaker's well-being.
It's you, isn't it
It's always been you hasn't it
Acknowledging the enduring presence of this figure.
and I suspect it will always be you
Belief that this presence will persist indefinitely.
Now I see that it's always been you
Understanding that this guiding presence has been constant.
I think I know what I need to do
Determination to take action based on this realization.
To pursue this peace and safety
Pursuing a life filled with peace and security.
My lifetime right through
Seeking a lifetime of stability and protection.
Now all that I want to do is jump up on my trampoline
Expressing joy and freedom reminiscent of childhood.
Like I was ten years old and I realized
Realization of inner strength and resilience.
I was so much stronger than I thought
Now I know where to run to
Discovering the destination for refuge.
Now I know where to hide
Finding a secure place to protect oneself.
I know you'll protect me
Belief in the ability of this presence to provide protection.
From the troubles of this life
Assurance against life's challenges.
It's you, isn't it
Confirmation that this figure is providing support.
Holding my hand
Comfort in the guidance and support received.
Leading me gently
Being gently led towards a better place.
Into your promised land
It's you, isn't it
Acknowledging the consistent presence of this figure.
You've been walking by my side
Continuous companionship and aid from this individual.
Speaking so softly
Communicating with care and tenderness.
Making sure I'm alright
Ensuring the speaker's well-being.
It's you, isn't it
It's always been you hasn't it
Affirmation of the enduring presence of this figure.
and I suspect it will always be you
Belief that this presence will persist indefinitely.
You, you
Reiteration of the importance of this figure.
It's You
Emphasizing the figure's significance.
It's You
