Lyrics
Dear Friend,
Addressing someone as a dear friend
You've been trying again
Acknowledging the friend's persistent efforts
Doing whatever it takes to fit in
Trying hard to conform and be accepted
Falling for the lies of the world
Falling for the deceitful ways of the world
You tell me you'd pay anything just to not hurt
Expressing a willingness to pay any price to avoid pain
What you want, I ain't got
Unable to provide what the friend desires
What I have, can't be bought
Emphasizing the value of what the speaker possesses
There's something better I can give
Offering something better if the friend surrenders
If you surrender you will live
Promise of a better life through surrender
Just gotta taste and see it's good
Encouraging the friend to experience the goodness
I'd make you see it if I could
Expressing a desire to help the friend understand
It's gonna save your life, gonna save your life
Stating that the offered solution will save the friend's life
Dear friend,
Reiterating the sincerity in communication
I'd be lying to you
Admitting the challenges on the journey
If I told you this road that we travel would be smooth
Warning about the difficulties ahead
Sometimes, you just wanna give up
Expressing the temptation to give up
Trying, and trying, but nothing is ever enough
Struggling persistently with no satisfactory outcome
Chasing things, but what for? (what for)
Questioning the purpose of chasing material things
You've seen it all, but want more
Experiencing dissatisfaction despite having seen it all
There's something better I can give
Repeating the offer of something better through surrender
If you surrender you will live
Reiterating the promise of a better life through submission
Just gotta taste and see it's good
Encouraging the friend to experience the goodness firsthand
I'd make you see it if I could
Expressing a desire to make the friend understand
It's gonna save your life, gonna save your life
Reaffirming that the solution will save the friend's life
I can see now you want this
Recognizing the friend's desire for a positive change
And you know that you need this
Acknowledging the friend's awareness of their need
Get away from the darkness
Encouraging the friend to move away from darkness
Get away from the darkness
Repeating the call to escape from darkness
I can see now you want this
Reiterating the friend's desire and need for positive change
And you know that you need this
Reaffirming the friend's awareness of their need
Get away from the darkness
Emphasizing the importance of moving away from darkness
Gotta know who Christ is
Stressing the necessity of knowing who Christ is
There's something better I can give
Restating the offer of something better through surrender
If you surrender you will live
Reiterating the promise of a better life through submission
Just gotta taste and see it's good
Encouraging the friend to experience the goodness firsthand
I'd make you see it if I could
Expressing a desire to make the friend understand
It's gonna save your life, gonna save your life
Reaffirming that the solution will save the friend's life
(Nothing better than this life) it's gonna save your life
Repeating the declaration that the offered solution is the best
(Nothing better than this life) it's gonna save your life
Reiterating the declaration that the solution will save the friend's life
It's gonna, it's gonna save your life
Emphasizing the certainty that the solution will save the friend's life
