God Knows How It Feels
Compassion Amidst Tragedy
Lyrics
I watch the news today
Observing the current events on the news
And see a natural unstoppable catastrophe
Witnessing a natural disaster that seems uncontrollable
It made me feel weak inside
Feeling emotionally affected and vulnerable
To see the people search to find
Seeing people actively searching for missing individuals
Those that have been missing for a while
Searching for those who have been absent for a period
I can't help but wonder
Questioning and contemplating
If I was there tonight
Reflecting on being present in that situation
Would that extra pair of hands help
Considering if additional assistance would make a difference
Save another life
Wondering about the potential to save lives
God knows how it feels
Expressing empathy for the feeling of starting anew
To have to start again from new
Understanding the difficulty of beginning again
Although I'm on the outside looking in
Being an outsider looking into the situation
My heart is there with you
Emotionally connecting and sympathizing
With all the loved ones
Thinking about the dear ones affected
The children that won't see another day
Children who might not survive the catastrophe
Why does this world have to be so cruel
Questioning the cruelty of the world and its pain
And bring so much pain
Expressing the immense suffering and agony
Workers dig, people cheer
Describing people's efforts to rescue
When a desperate cry for help is made for all to hear
Reacting to cries for help amidst desperation
A young girl fighting to survive
Portraying a young girl's struggle for survival
Bleeding but still alive
Highlighting her condition but fighting to live
Is pulled from underneath a rubble pile
Describing the rescue of someone trapped
Tears of joy start falling
Expressing tears of happiness for the rescue
For the saving of someone
Acknowledging the saving of a life
The journey's far from over
Recognizing that the journey to recovery continues
But at least hope has begun
Emphasizing the importance of newfound hope
God knows how it feels
Reiterating empathy for starting anew after tragedy
To have to start again from new
Repeating the emotional connection to the situation
Although I'm on the outside looking in
Reaffirming the feeling of being an outsider
My heart is there with you
Reconnecting emotionally with those affected
With all the loved ones
Thinking about the dear ones affected
The children that won't see another day
Children who might not survive the catastrophe
Why does this world have to be so cruel
Questioning the cruelty of the world and its pain
And bring so much pain
Expressing the immense suffering and agony
God only knows how terrified
Reflecting on the fear experienced by everyone
Everyone must be
Imagining the potential of their lives if the tragedy hadn't occurred
God only knows how wonderful
Sending a prayer to all affected individuals
Their lives could have been
Remembering and honoring those who have passed away
I say a prayer to everyone
Reiterating empathy for starting anew after tragedy
And all that rest in peace
Reflecting on those who have died
God Knows how it feels
Expressing empathy for the feeling of starting anew
Lose hope and start again
Recognizing the difficulty in maintaining hope after tragedy
God Knows how it feels
Reiterating the challenge of maintaining hope
Lose hope and start again
Repeating the difficulty of sustaining hope
God Knows how it feels
Emphasizing the challenge of keeping hope alive
Lose hope and start again
Stressing the struggle of maintaining hope after tragedy
God Knows how it feels
Reiterating the challenge of sustaining hope after tragedy
Lose hope and start again
Repeating the difficulty of maintaining hope
