You Say
Discovering Redemption: Embracing Faith Amidst Struggles in 'You Say'
Lyrics
I've been calling and calling for you
I've been persistently trying to reach out to you
But you answer and I shut my mouth
When you respond, I become silent
I've been searching and searching for you
I've been actively looking for you
But myself, I don't want to be found
But I, personally, do not want to be found
You say, I am
You affirm that I am
You say, let go
You instruct me to let go
You say, believe
You advise me to believe
But it's not that easy for me
But it's challenging for me to do so
You say, wait
You tell me to wait
You say, right now
You emphasize "right now"
Don't you know you're already one foot in the ground
Expressing a warning that I may be close to failure or danger
You say
I've been wicked and wild and wrong
I've been behaving badly and making mistakes
And I've wondered the price of my shame
I've contemplated the cost of my disgrace
I've been hiding my face for so long
I've been avoiding facing the consequences for a long time
It's a wonder that you know my name
Surprised that you still acknowledge me
You say, come home
You urge me to come home
You say, I'm here
You assure me of your presence
You say, there's some things you just can't control
You acknowledge the limitations in controlling certain things
You say, let me
You invite me to let you handle it
You say, believe
You repeat the advice to believe
Why do you search for the answers you already know
Questioning why I search for answers that are already known
You say
I am the way and the light and the truth
Claiming to be the path, the light, and the truth
Don't be mislead by the flight of your youth
Advising not to be misled by the impulsiveness of youth
Have faith in the things you can't see to believe
Encouraging faith in things that can't be seen to believe
What if you had faith in me
Prompting to have faith in the speaker
You say, rest here
You suggest resting, indicating this as my home
This is your home
Emphasizing that I should recognize your presence all along
Don't you see you knew I was here all along
Reiterating that you've been here despite my unawareness
You say
