Everyday
Everyday Surrender: A Heart's Struggle with Distractions
Lyrics
Everyday I wake up and hear you whisper my name
Expressing the routine of waking up and feeling a connection through a whispered name.
Maybe breathe a little prayer but it just ain't the same
Acknowledging prayers, but feeling a lack of fulfillment or connection.
Ignoring every word you say
Choosing to ignore the spoken words of someone significant.
Every word when you tell me
Highlighting the significance of the words spoken by the person.
Whoa be still
Repetition of the plea to be still, possibly indicating a desire for peace or clarity.
Just stay still
-Whoa be still
-But oh God
Addressing God, suggesting a deeper spiritual or existential dimension to the lyrics.
Everybody's got something for me to do
Feeling overwhelmed by external demands and responsibilities.
And my head's filled with thoughts of everything but you
Admitting distraction and preoccupation with various thoughts, excluding thoughts of the divine.
Cause I never listen to anything you say
Confessing a lack of attention to the words of the divine or important guidance.
And I fall in submission to everything but you everyday
Acknowledging a pattern of submitting to everything else but the divine on a daily basis.
I go to your house and fall on my knees
Seeking divine intervention, asking for a transformation of one's life and the divine to become a home.
The very next morning and cry out please
-Would you take this life I call my own?
-Would you let your house become my home?
-Whoa be still
Repetition of the plea to be still, possibly emphasizing the importance of stillness.
Just stay still
-Whoa be still
-But oh Jesus
Addressing Jesus, introducing another religious or spiritual element.
Everybody's got something for me to do
Reiteration of being overwhelmed by external demands, distractions, and the struggle to listen to divine guidance.
And my head's filled with thoughts of everything but you
-Cause I never listen to anything you say
-And I fall in submission to everything but you everyday
-Yeah
Adding emphasis or affirmation to the daily struggle described.
Everyday
Repeating the word "Everyday" to emphasize the recurring nature of the described struggles.
Everyday
-Everybody's got something for me to do
Reiterating the theme of being pulled in different directions and failing to listen to divine guidance daily.
And my head's filled with thoughts of everything but you
-Cause I never listen to anything you say
-And I fall in submission to everything but you everyday
