Shadowlands
Embracing Promises: Journey Through Shadows
Lyrics
You promised me
Reiterating a promise made by a significant other or a higher power.
That You'd never leave
Assurance that the promise includes a commitment to never abandon or forsake.
Or let me go
Emphasizing the commitment not to let go or release from the bond.
You promised me
Repeating the promise, reinforcing the idea of steadfast love.
That You'd love me through
Commitment to love and support through both joyful and challenging times.
The highs and lows
Expressing the promise to be there during life's highs and lows.
You promised me
Reiterating the promise not to burden with more than one can handle.
You won't give me more
Commitment to providing challenges within manageable limits.
Than I can bear
Reiterating the promise to avoid overwhelming burdens.
You promised me
Pledge to be present and supportive when one cries out in distress.
That when I cry out
Assurance that the presence is guaranteed during moments of sorrow or pain.
That You'd be there
Commitment to respond and be there when called upon emotionally.
The shadowlands are what I know
Reference to a metaphorical place of darkness or difficulty in life.
So I'm hanging on to Your every word
Expression of holding onto the spoken promises in challenging times.
The shadowlands surround me now
Acknowledging the current existence of difficulties or challenges.
But You walk with me through the cloud
Belief in the presence and companionship of the significant other or higher power.
Into the sun
Visual imagery of moving from darkness into the light or positivity.
Into the sun
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the transition from darkness to light.
You promised me
Recalling the promise of reaping joy after enduring tears.
If I sow in tears
Association of sowing tears with the expectation of future happiness.
I'll reap in joy
Reiterating the promise of joy as a result of past sorrows.
You promised me
Commitment to breathing life and vitality into the individual's soul.
That You will breathe life
Promise of rejuvenation and renewal of spiritual energy.
Into my soul
Acknowledging the truth of the promises made.
I know it's true
Expressing confidence in the reliability and truthfulness of the promises.
All that You say
Faith and trust in the words spoken by the significant other or higher power.
I believe in You
Declaration of belief and trust in the entity making the promises.
And I am standing on
Standing firm on the commitments and assurances given.
The promises You've made
Belief in and reliance on the promises made for support and guidance.
You promised me and I believe
Confirmation of belief in the promises made, expressing unwavering faith.
