Hold It up to the Light
Embracing Life's Crossroads: Smalltown Poets' Journey Unveiled
Lyrics
It's the choice of a lifetime & I'm almost sure
Expressing uncertainty about a significant decision in life.
I will not live my life in between anymore
Rejecting the idea of living in a state of indecision or ambiguity.
If I can't be certain of all that's in store
Desire for certainty in the future and awareness of the unknown.
This far it feels so right
Feeling confident and positive about the current choice.
I will hold it up & hold it up to the light,
Emphasizing the act of examining the decision in the light, suggesting scrutiny and evaluation.
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light
-The search for my future has brought me here
Reflecting on the journey towards the future.
This is more than I'd hoped for, but sometimes I fear
Expressing satisfaction with the present but acknowledging underlying apprehension.
That the choice I was made for will someday appear
Acknowledging the possibility of a more suitable choice appearing in the future.
And I'll be too late for that flight
Fear of missing out on a better opportunity if a delayed decision is made.
So hold it up & hold it up to the light,
Reiterating the theme of examining the decision in the light for clarity.
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light
-I said God, will you bless this decision?
Seeking divine guidance and blessing for the decision.
I'm scared. Is my life at stake?
Expressing fear and uncertainty about the consequences of the decision.
But I know if you gave me a vision
Questioning whether having a clear vision from God would eliminate the need for faith.
Would I never have reason to use my faith?
Exploring the relationship between faith and divine guidance.
Now as soon as I'm moving & my choice is good
Feeling positive and moving forward with a good decision.
This way comes through right where I prayed that it would
Noticing that the chosen path aligns with prayers or desires.
If I keep my eyes open and look where I should
Emphasizing the importance of being attentive to signs and guidance.
Somehow all of the signs are in sight
Stressing the significance of holding up the decision to the light for clarity and guidance.
If I hold up the light
-It's too late & to be stopped at the crossroads
Feeling that time is running out and facing a critical juncture.
Each life here & each a possible way
Describing the multitude of potential life paths and the urgency to make a decision.
But wait & and they all will be lost roads
-Each path's growing shorter the longer I stay
-I was dead with deciding & afraid to choose
Being paralyzed by indecision and fear of making the wrong choice.
I was mourning the loss of the choices I'd lose
Grieving potential choices that were not pursued.
But there's no choice at all if I don't make my move
Emphasizing the necessity of making a decision to have any meaningful choices.
And trust that the timing is right
Expressing the importance of trusting the timing of the decision.
I will hold it up hold it up to the light
Reiterating the act of holding up the decision to the light as a final step before commitment.
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light.
