The Commission
Eternal Departure: A Message of Hope and Purpose
Lyrics
See my hands and look at my feet.
Reflecting on physical evidence, possibly scars or wounds.
It's okay if it's hard to believe.
Acknowledging potential disbelief, encouraging understanding.
I have faith that you will do greater things.
Expressing confidence in the listener's ability to achieve great things.
It's my time to go, but before I leave,
Signifying a departure, a sense of readiness to move on.
CHORUS
Refrain, emphasizing the need to share a message with the world.
Go tell the world about me.
Instruction to spread the speaker's story and teachings.
I was dead but now I live.
Declaring a transformation from death to life.
I've gotta go now for a little while,
Indicating a temporary departure from the current presence.
But goodbye is not the end.
Assuring that farewell doesn't mark the ultimate end.
Don't forget the things that I taught you.
Encouraging remembrance of the lessons taught.
I've conquered death and I hold the keys.
Asserting victory over death and possessing authority.
Where I go, you will go too, someday.
Promising a shared destiny in the future.
But there's much to do here before you leave so,
Highlighting the importance of tasks before departing.
CHORUS
Repetition of the chorus, underlining the message's significance.
BRIDGE
Introducing a bridge section, possibly a transitional phase.
End of the journey,
Symbolizing the conclusion of a journey.
The end of the road.
Emphasizing the end of a particular path or experience.
My spirit is with you
Assuring a continued spiritual presence.
Wherever you go.
Promising support and companionship wherever the listener goes.
You have a purpose
Affirming the listener's purpose in life.
And I have a plan.
Stating a divine plan for the listener.
I'll make you this promise,
Making a commitment to return in the future.
I'll come back again.
Reiterating the promise of a reunion.
But until then,
Expressing the idea of waiting until the promised return.
CHORUS
Repeating the chorus, reinforcing the central theme.
Oh.
An interjection, possibly expressing emotion or emphasis.
Go tell them about me.
Re-emphasizing the instruction to share the speaker's story.
I've gotta go
Reiterating the temporary departure mentioned earlier.
For a little while.
Echoing the idea that farewell is not the ultimate conclusion.
But goodbye is not the end.
Repeating the concept that parting is not the end.
