All Right Here
Embracing Life's Lessons: "All Right Here" by Sara Groves
Lyrics
It's every loss and every love
Encompasses every experience of loss and love.
It's every blessing from above
Includes all blessings received from higher powers.
Here I am, all added up
The speaker acknowledges her complete self, all experiences added up.
Oh, it's all right here
The entirety of life, with its ups and downs, is present and accepted.
It's what I know, and what I'm guessing
Encompasses personal knowledge and educated guesses.
Half truths, and full confessions
Includes partial truths and complete confessions.
It's why I choose to learn my lessons
Choosing to learn from life's experiences.
Oh, it's all right here
Reiterates acceptance of everything in life.
(Chorus)
Chorus - Affirming the speaker's acknowledgment of her humanity.
And I'm not God, I'm a girl - I confess
Admitting human limitations, not divine.
That I don't have a sea of forgetfulness
Expressing lack of access to a forgetfulness mechanism.
No, it's all right here
Reiterating acceptance of everything being present.
It makes me stronger, it makes me wince
Experiencing both strength and discomfort from life's events.
Makes me think twice when I pick my friends
Caution in choosing friends, considering past experiences.
Oh, it's all right here
Reaffirming acceptance of life's entirety.
It's all right here
Emphasizing the completeness and acceptance of life.
It's caution and curiousity
Incorporates both caution and curiosity.
And tt's all the things I never see
Includes aspects often overlooked or unnoticed.
Welling up inside of me
Feelings and emotions welling up within the speaker.
Oh, it's all right here
Reiterates acceptance of what is both best and worse in life.
It's what is best, and what is worse
Encompasses the dual nature of existence.
It's how I see the universe
Describes the speaker's perspective on the universe.
It's in every line and every verse
Every aspect of life, expressed in words and verses.
Oh, it's all right here
Reiterates the acceptance of life's entirety.

Every heart has so much history

Sit down a while and share your narative with me

Some of this is unique, and some of it we share
