Grand Scheme
Navigating Life's Unanswered Questions in Solomon's Wish Melody
Lyrics
The questions run so deep
The speaker is grappling with profound questions.
When it's two in the morning
The introspective thoughts occur during the late hours.
I should be lost in sleep
The speaker acknowledges a need for sleep but struggles to find it.
But in my mind I am sorting
Mentally organizing thoughts while sleep eludes the speaker.
All the things that I can't explain
Pondering unexplainable aspects of life and suffering.
Why so many suffer in pain?
Questioning the reasons behind human pain.
Where's the answer?
The speaker seeks answers to the mysteries of life.
I hide behind a smile
Maintaining a cheerful facade while experiencing inner pain.
But in my heart I am bleeding
The speaker's heart is metaphorically bleeding, revealing hidden struggles.
I can sometimes read the crowd
Ability to empathize with others, connecting to shared emotions.
And relate to their feelings
Uncertainty about the future and a desire for belief.
Never knowing what tomarrow brings
Facing an unknown future and struggling to maintain faith.
And trying so hard to just believe in something
Attempting to believe in something despite difficulties.
CHORUS
Repetition of the chorus marks a significant point in the song.
Falling down around me is a world
Describing the world as incomplete and falling apart.

Divine support is crucial in maintaining stability.
you hold me in your peace

here in the grand scheme
Life is viewed as part of a grand scheme with a higher purpose.
We can only know in part
Recognizing the limitations of human understanding.
When we're this side of heaven
Acknowledging the incomplete knowledge while on Earth.
So I'm trusting in my heart
Trusting personal feelings and intuition as a guide.
For one final amen
Anticipation of a final resolution and peace.
A day when the wrong will be made right
A vision of a day when justice will prevail.
That's all I really need to rest inside, tonight
Finding solace in the hope of a righteous future.
