Simple Pursuit
A Journey of Love: Unveiling the Meaning in Taylor Bartram's 'Simple Pursuit'
Lyrics
I've washed in the river and sat on these shores
I have undergone a cleansing experience symbolized by washing in the river and contemplating my existence on the shores.
I've read all the books and went looking for more
I have read extensively but still sought more knowledge and understanding.
You were a concept I tried to adore
You, as an ideal or concept, were something I tried to admire and cherish.
But all that you needed was my heart to be yours
Your true desire was for my heart to be dedicated to you.
A simple pursuit is all that you want
You seek a straightforward pursuit in our relationship.
That you would finish what you've begun
I hoped you would complete what you initiated.
All of my heart, all that I am I lay at your feet
I give you all of my love and self, laying it at your feet.
I fought for the cause I thought you would love
I fought for a cause, believing it would earn your love.
All of my words justified from above
My words are justified from a higher perspective.
Zeal for your name God I thought was enough
I thought my passion for your name, God, would be sufficient.
To lay down my life was the meaning of love
I considered sacrificing my life as the ultimate expression of love.
A simple pursuit is all that you want
You desire a simple pursuit from me in our relationship.
That you would finish what you've begun
I hope you will follow through and complete what you've started.
All of my heart, all that I am I lay at your feet
Once again, I give you all of my heart and being, placing it at your feet.
A simple pursuit is all that you need
A straightforward pursuit is what you genuinely need.
It's all that you're asking now of me
Now, you ask only for this simple commitment from me.
All of my heart, all that I am I lay at your feet
Once more, I offer all of myself to you.
When I have reached the end of this road
As I reach the end of my journey, reflecting on the challenges and experiences.
My body and soul with the scars left to show
Both my body and soul bear scars as testament to my experiences.
I pray that I gave every breath that I owned
I hope I have given my all, every breath I owned, on this journey.
To walk with you closely on my journey home
To be close to you on my way back home is my heartfelt prayer.
A simple pursuit is all that you need
You require a simple pursuit as a fundamental need in our relationship.
It's all that you're asking now of me
Now, all that is asked of me is this uncomplicated commitment.
All of my heart, all that I am I lay at your feet
Once again, I surrender all of my heart and self to you.
All of my heart, all that I am I lay at your feet
I continually offer all of my heart and being, placing it at your feet.
All of my heart, all that I am I lay at your feet
I consistently lay all that I am before you, at your feet.
