Weathering Storms: Faith, Solitude, and TriumphLyrics
Press your hands together, bow your heads
Expressing a gesture of prayer or submission
Upon our knees is how we'll make amends
Seeking reconciliation through humility
Our prayers will part the clouds
Belief that prayers can influence the circumstances
Weathered by the sea and salty air
Describing a location affected by the harsh elements
Our solitude will never get us there
Acknowledging that isolation won't lead to the desired destination
This place must hold our faith
Emphasizing the importance of faith in the current place
And when the storm swells come
Acknowledging challenges represented by storm swells
It will put us to the test
Testing the strength and resolve during adversity
Stone hands will cast away
Confidently facing and dispelling figurative monsters
The monsters in the mist
Conveying resilience against unknown challenges
It will not let us down
Expressing trust that the place will not disappoint
It will not cast our hopes
Belief that hope won't be abandoned
Along the rocky shores of our greatest fears
Facing fears with determination, comparing them to rocky shores
Press your hands together, bow your heads
Repetition for emphasis on prayer and humility
Upon our knees is how we'll make amends
Reiterating the process of seeking reconciliation
Our prayers will light the night
Belief in the illuminating power of prayers during the night
The moon behind the clouds
Describing the obscured moon behind clouds
Of night's embrace
Metaphorically referring to the challenges of the night
Our beacon is the flame that cuts the haze
The guiding force that cuts through difficulties
This hearth of stone and might
Describing a sturdy and influential place
And when the storm swells come
Repetition of the impending storm and its challenges
It will put us to the test
Reiterating the testing nature of the approaching storm
(it will put us to the test)
Reiteration emphasizing the testing aspect
Stone hands will cast away the
Stone hands dispelling the mysterious and threatening entities
Monsters in the mist
Continued reference to overcoming challenges
It will not let us down
Confidence that the place won't fail
It will not cast our hopes
Belief that hope won't be abandoned
Along the rocky shores of our greatest fears
Facing fears with determination, repeating the rocky shores metaphor
It will not let us down
Reiteration of confidence in the reliability of the place
(It will not let us down)
Reiteration that the place won't fail
It will not cast our hopes
Reiteration that hope won't be abandoned
(It will not cast our hopes)
Reiteration of facing fears with determination
Along the rocky shores of our greatest fears
Continuation of the rocky shores metaphor
It will bring deliverance
Anticipation of salvation and relief
Back into our hearts angel of voyagers
Addressing an angelic figure, seeking intervention
Can you hear our prayers?
Directly asking for acknowledgment of prayers
It will not let us down
Reiteration of trust in the place
It will not cast our hopes
Reiteration that hope won't be abandoned
Along the rocky shores of our greatest fears
Facing fears with determination, repeating the rocky shores metaphor
It will not let us down
Confidence that the place won't disappoint
It will not cast our hopes
Belief that hope won't be abandoned
Along the rocky shores of our greatest fears
Continuation of facing fears with determination and the rocky shores metaphor
