Come on In
A Prayer for Peace: Sparklehorse's Soulful Journey in 'Come on In'
Lyrics
Now I lay me down to sleep
Expressing a bedtime prayer, seeking protection during sleep.
I pray my soul to keep
Continuation of the bedtime prayer, asking for the preservation of the soul.
If I die before I wake
Contemplating the possibility of death during sleep and expressing a prayer for the soul in such an event.
I pray my soul to take
Reiterating the prayer for the soul's well-being in the case of death during sleep.
Come on in
An invitation or a call for someone or something to enter or approach.
Come on in
Repetition of the invitation, emphasizing the welcoming nature.
Take me home tonight
Expressing a desire to be taken home tonight, suggesting a longing for comfort or solace.
Now in perfect peace I rest, now I lay me down to sleep
Reflecting on a state of rest and peace during sleep.
In full salvation blest, I pray my soul to keep
Acknowledging a state of blessedness and seeking protection for the soul.
For thy grace that keeps me still, if I die before I wake
Gratitude for divine grace that provides ongoing protection, even in sleep.
Safe from every ill, I pray my soul to take
Expressing a wish to be safe from all harm, seeking protection for the soul.
Come on in
Reiteration of the invitation, possibly indicating a persistent desire for something to enter.
Come on in
Repeating the welcoming call, reinforcing the desire for something to come in.
Take me home tonight
Reiterating the wish to be taken home tonight, possibly emphasizing urgency or longing.
Now in perfect peace I rest, now I lay me down to sleep
Restating a sense of peaceful rest during sleep.
In full salvation blest, I pray my soul to keep
Affirmation of being blessed and a prayer for the preservation of the soul.
For thy grace that keeps me still, if I die before I wake
Acknowledging divine grace and seeking ongoing protection, even in the face of potential danger during sleep.
Safe from every ill, I pray my soul to take
Expressing a desire for the soul to be safe from all harm, echoing the earlier sentiments.
