Finding Strength in the Shadows: Chapter V by Richie Campbell
Lyrics
Oh-oh
Expression of emotion or a melodic element.
Oh-oh
Continuation of emotional expression or melodic element.
Yeah
Confirmation or affirmation.
God gives you what you can bear
Belief that challenges in life are given based on one's capacity.
Lately I don't feel him near
Feeling a distance from a divine presence recently.
And I might be down on my knees, mm
Despite challenges, expressing resilience and remaining hopeful.
But I'm still here
Acknowledging presence and survival despite difficulties.
Life's weighing on me (not givin' up)
Admitting life's burdens but refusing to give up.
But I'm still here
Reiterating determination to endure despite challenges.
Oh God, hear my plea (oh)
An earnest plea to the divine for assistance.
I need a hand, I waan you lend it to me (please)
Requesting support and assistance from a higher power.
See your face, I waan you show it to me (no)
Expressing a desire to see the divine face.
Hear your voice, I waan you sing it to me
Longing to hear the divine voice and experience its presence.
Please shine your light on me, Lord
Requesting divine guidance and illumination.
When times get dark (when times get dark)
Seeking divine support during challenging or dark times.
Need you to shine down your light (need you to shine)
Specifically asking for divine light in difficult moments.
When I get lost, I need to be
Expressing a need to find oneself when feeling lost.
I need to be, I need to be reminded
Emphasizing the need for periodic reminders in life.
God gives you what you can bear (God gives you what)
Reiteration of the belief in challenges according to one's capacity.
Lately, I don't feel him near (oh-oh-oh)
Continued sense of distance from the divine.
I might be down on my knees (I'm on my knees)
Expressing a humble posture, possibly in prayer.
But I'm still here (I'm still, oh-oh)
Affirmation of survival and presence despite challenges.
Life's weighing on me
Acknowledging the weight of life's challenges.
But I'm still here
Reiteration of endurance and resilience in the face of difficulties.
Oh God, hear my plea (God, hear me, God)
Continued plea for divine intervention and assistance.
God, hear my plea (God, hear my plea)
Repetition of the plea for divine hearing, emphasizing urgency.
God, hear my plea (God, hear my plea)
-God, hear my plea (God, hear my plea)
-God, hear my
