Lyrics
Teach me the way
Expressing a desire to learn the path of humility and goodness.
To be humble and good
Asking for guidance on being humble and morally upright.
To be quiet when I should
Seeking advice on when to remain silent or reserved.
To be great
Desiring to understand how to achieve greatness.
I am not what I was
Acknowledging a personal transformation from the past to the future.
Or what I will be
Emphasizing the evolving nature of the speaker's identity.
There is no one guessing for me
Stating that there is no one predicting or foreseeing the speaker's future.
There's a draft like a well
Describing an atmospheric sensation similar to a well.
And a warm wet smell
Depicting a sensory experience with a warm, wet smell.
And there is no one to break the fall
Expressing a lack of support or assistance when facing challenges.
It's so patient and meek
Characterizing patience and meekness, possibly in reference to time or a situation.
And you mouth never speaks
Noting a contrast with the mouth not vocalizing certain experiences.
Of the times when our hopes die
Reflecting on moments of disappointment or loss of hope.
There's a draft like a well
Reiterating the sensory imagery of a well and a warm, wet smell.
And a warm wet smell
Recalling a familiar atmospheric experience.
And there's no one to break the fall
Reiterating the absence of support or intervention in challenging situations.
Teach me the way
Repeating the desire to learn the path of humility and goodness.
To be humble and good
Restating the aspiration for moral guidance.
To be quiet when I should
Reiterating the need to be reserved or quiet when appropriate.
To be great
Re-emphasizing the aspiration to achieve greatness.
