This Peace
Discovering Tranquility: Unveiling the Hidden Message of Sara Groves' 'This Peace'
Lyrics
So many words to say, but I'm opting for silence
Expressing the abundance of words but choosing silence.
So many days to live
Acknowledging the vastness of time ahead.
I thinking I'm sitting this one out
Opting to sit out some experiences or moments.
Cause something I've been chasing finally stop to let me catch it
Something pursued has finally paused, allowing it to be attained.
Something I've been longing for and dreaming about
Refers to a long-desired and dreamt-of something.
It's a whisper in my ear
Describing a subtle, intimate message.
It's a shiver up my spine
Expressing a physical reaction to a profound experience.
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right
Gratitude for the positive aspects of life.
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight
Referring to a mysterious and appealing quality granted.
This peace
Introduction of the central theme: "This peace."
It's something so elusive
Describing peace as elusive and challenging to attain.
Something close but far away
Characterizing peace as both near and distant.
It's the home that I can't live in yet somewhere in outer space
Depicting peace as a home not yet accessible, perhaps transcendent.
And sometimes I barely miss it when I walk into the room
Not always recognizing or experiencing peace when it is present.
The curtains are still swaying and I feel the air move
Visual imagery of a room with lingering effects of peace.
And it whispers in my ear and it shivers up my spine
Reiteration of the intimate and physical sensations of peace.
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right
Reaffirmation of gratitude for what is right in life.
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight
Emphasizing the mysterious and appealing nature of the granted peace.
This peace
Repetition and emphasis on the central theme: "This peace."
No time to grab a camera
No opportunity to capture or document the elusive peace.
No time to write it down
No time to record, only to experience and live in the moment.
Just time enough to breathe it in
Emphasizing the need to savor and absorb the peace.
And linger
Encouraging a lingering appreciation for the peace experienced.
It's a whisper in my ear
Reiteration of the intimate and personal nature of the peace.
It's a shiver up my spine
Reaffirmation of the physical and emotional reactions to peace.
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right
Expressing gratitude for the positive aspects of life.
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight
Reiterating the mysterious and appealing quality of the granted peace.
This peace
Final emphasis on the central theme: "This peace."
This peace
Repetition and conclusion of the focus on "This peace."
