Lyrics
Man, the pressure has come again
Expressing the return of pressure or challenges.
And it feels like the world's on my shoulders
Feeling overwhelmed as if carrying the weight of the world.
My future distant
Describing a distant future and a present marked by difficulties.
And present featuring rusted chains
Presenting the current state as entangled in rusty chains, symbolizing struggles.
And my friends
Expressing a sense of abandonment by friends.
They abandoned me
Conveying being trapped in the cage of anxiety.
And anxiety's a hell that I'm caged in
Expressing a distant hope for a joyful song amid challenges.
And my hope for a joyful song seems so far away
Recalling and holding on to precious promises despite difficulties.
But I remember
Reflecting on past victories in battles.
I remember your precious promises
Reminding oneself of the resurrection power, a source of strength.
And I remember
Emphasizing the act of remembering God's faithfulness.
I remember the battles won before
Acknowledging God's role in providing victory.
And I remember
Reaffirming the memory of God's ability to bring victory.
I remember the resurrection power
Expressing a deep remembrance of God's involvement in past triumphs.
God, I remember, yes
Continuing to recall God's faithfulness.
I remember you give me victory
Acknowledging God as the source of victory.
So I say to my soul
Encouraging the soul not to be downcast but to rejoice in God.
Why're you cast down? Rejoice in him
Advising the soul to find joy in God despite challenges.
I say to my soul
Encouraging the soul to rise above anxiety and sing praises.
Why're you disquiet? Arise and sing
Reiterating the call for the soul to rise above distress and sing.
So I say to my soul
Challenging the soul to place hope in God rather than being downcast.
Why're you cast down
Rejecting the idea of being cast down, emphasizing trust in God.
No! put your hope in him
Defying external judgments of poverty by declaring spiritual richness.
They said I am poor but, I say I am rich
Rejecting external perceptions of brokenness, affirming spiritual wholeness.
They say you are broken, I say I am whole
Refusing to accept defeat, proclaiming victory in Christ.
They call me defeated, I say I'm a victor yeah
Declaring oneself as a source of light amid perceived darkness.
They say there is darkness, I say I'm the light
Rejecting negative predictions about not making it, relying on inner strength.
They say you won't make it, I know what's inside
Defying labels of being a loser, asserting a personal identity as a winner.
They call me a loser, I know I'm a winner yeeaah
Repeating the encouragement to the soul not to be downcast but to rejoice in God.
So I said to my soul
Encouraging the soul to rise above anxiety and sing praises.
Why're you cast down? Rejoice in him
Reiterating the call for the soul to rise above distress and sing.
I said to my soul
Challenging the soul to place hope in God rather than being downcast.
Why're you, disquiet girl? Arise, arise and sing
Rejecting the idea of being cast down, emphasizing trust in God.
So I said to my soul
Defying external judgments of poverty by declaring spiritual richness.
Why're you cast down? no, no
Rejecting external perceptions of brokenness, affirming spiritual wholeness.
Put your hope in him
Refusing to accept defeat, proclaiming victory in Christ.
I said to my soul why you down
Declaring oneself as a source of light amid perceived darkness.
I said to my soul, why you down, why you down
Rejecting negative predictions about not making it, relying on inner strength.
