My Ignorance
Awakening Grace: A Journey from Ignorance to Understanding
Lyrics
Last night as I slept I saw my life slip away.
Reflecting on the past, the speaker recalls a moment of existential crisis while asleep.
Then you were next to me.
The presence of someone significant (likely referring to a higher power or deity) during the crisis.
I couldn't see Your face but I knew that it was You.
Unable to see the divine figure's face, but recognizing it as a benevolent force, perhaps indicating faith.
Giving me a second chance.
Feeling grateful for a second chance at life, possibly suggesting a spiritual awakening or redemption.
I'll never really understand why I cannot comprehend
Expressing confusion about the speaker's inability to fully grasp or comprehend divine love and grace.
Your love and grace.
Questioning personal pride in aspects beyond one's control, possibly addressing humility.
Why do I take pride in what I can't control.
Examining the contradiction of taking pride in things beyond control and the impact on personal growth.
How can I claim what isn't really mine?
Questioning the legitimacy of claiming ownership over things that don't truly belong to the speaker.
What's the point of my ignorance?
Pondering the purpose or significance of the speaker's ignorance in the context of spiritual themes.
The music that I see.
Referencing music as a metaphor for the experiences and emotions in the speaker's life.
The colors in the airThe breath in my lungs tonight.
Describing sensory elements, such as colors and breath, possibly symbolizing vitality and existence.
Why do I fight with You sometimes?
Questioning internal conflicts or struggles in the speaker's relationship with the divine.
So today I walk down this road again.
Embarking on a journey or facing challenges, indicating a continuous cycle of self-discovery.
I understand now, some of what You said.
Gaining understanding of divine teachings or messages received, suggesting spiritual growth.
Sometimes I lack the strength I need.
Admitting personal weakness or vulnerability, acknowledging the need for external strength.
But you come through, every time I fail,
Recognition of divine support and intervention during moments of personal failure.
You're there to pick me up, when I need it the most.

When I've fallen hard You're there no questions asked.
Expressing unconditional divine assistance in times of significant personal setbacks.
You lift me up when I am down.

Please open my eyes.
A plea for spiritual insight and enlightenment, asking for a deeper understanding.
Please help me understand.
A request for guidance and comprehension in the spiritual journey.
