Lyrics
Could I talk to you? Are you listening?
Expressing a desire to communicate and questioning if there is receptivity.
Would you let me ask the questions that burn inside me?
Seeking permission to ask personal and intense questions that weigh heavily on the mind.
I am reaching out, I am holding on.
Symbolizing a reaching out for connection and a determination to hold on.
Feel like one of Your affections, but not quite like I belong.
Feeling a connection to a higher power but experiencing a sense of not fully belonging.
I am numb today, everything's a blur,
Expressing emotional numbness and a blurred perception of reality.
I've seen too much to deny, too little to be sure,
Acknowledging a conflict between undeniable experiences and insufficient certainty.
Like a prodigal, like a distant son, I can see You from a distance,
Comparing oneself to a prodigal or distant son, perceiving a distant connection to a higher power.
But I'm too ashamed to come
Feeling shame that hinders approaching the higher power despite awareness of its presence.
Chorus:
Introducing a chorus that poses questions about support and understanding in challenging times.
Will You see me through this valley?
Asking if the higher power will guide through difficult times represented by a valley.
Will You hold my outstretched hands?
Requesting support and connection by holding outstretched hands.
As the world caves in around me,
Describing a feeling of the world collapsing, seeking assistance in understanding the chaos.
Will You help me understand?
Reiterating the plea for help in understanding the challenges faced.
Help me understand, help me understand.
Repeating the request for understanding in a musical and emotional manner.
I am numb today, everything's a blur,
Reiterating emotional numbness and blurred perception as challenges persist.
I've seen too much to deny, too little to be sure,
Acknowledging the struggle of balancing undeniable experiences with uncertain clarity.
Like a prodigal, like a distant son, I can see You from a distance,
Re-emphasizing a distant connection to a higher power, still hindered by shame.
But I'm too ashamed to come
Repeating the theme of feeling too ashamed to approach the higher power.
I am scared to fall,
Expressing fear of falling and reluctance to continue the journey.
Scared to carry on,
Acknowledging the fear of moving forward and facing the challenges ahead.
Am I losing to the cynic after running for so long?
Questioning if the struggle is being lost to cynicism after a prolonged effort.
There's a child in me, lost in mystery.
Describing an inner child lost in mystery, buried but yearning for freedom.
But its buried underneath the earth, longing to be free.
Symbolizing a hidden, untapped aspect of the self longing to break free.
Will You see me through this valley?
Repeating the chorus, seeking guidance and support through a metaphorical valley.
Will You hold my outstretched hands?
Reiterating the plea for the higher power to hold outstretched hands for support.
As the world caves in around me,
Expressing the feeling of the external world collapsing and the need for understanding.
Will You help me understand?
Repeating the request for assistance in comprehending the challenges faced.
Help me understand, help me understand.
Continuing the emotional plea for understanding and guidance.
