Lyrics
ark me with fear, I'm trembling
Feeling overwhelmed with fear, trembling
Send someone else instead
Requesting someone else to take their place
I know my world is ending
Aware of the imminent end of their world
I can't repay my debt
Unable to repay a debt, possibly metaphorical
Can I carry such a heavy burden?
Questioning ability to bear a heavy burden
Can I move when I am paralyzed?
Wondering if movement is possible in a paralyzed state
I see a fire behind a heavy curtain
Observing a fire obscured by a heavy curtain
I lean in closer and I close my eyes
Approaching the fire with eyes closed
Kiss the coals, breathe in smoke
Symbolic act of embracing difficulty (kissing coals, breathing smoke)
And I say, here I am, send me
Declaring readiness to take on a challenge
Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid
Feeling liberated and unafraid
Here I am, send me, send me
Repeating the willingness to be sent
Free and so unafraid
Emphasizing freedom and fearlessness
Here I am, send me
Reiteration of readiness to be sent
Mark me with fire and
Desiring to be marked with fire
Send me among the living dead
Willingness to be among those struggling or spiritually dead
They cannot comprehend me
Feeling misunderstood by others
I watch the sickness spread
Observing the spread of a metaphorical sickness
Now, can they hear me when their hearts are hardened?
Questioning if others can hear when emotionally closed off
Now, can they see me when they close their eyes?
Questioning if others can see when willfully blind
So let me tell you I'm an easy target
Asserting vulnerability as an easy target
A wooden saw is quite a way to die
Describing a painful and slow death metaphorically
Kiss the coals, breathe in smoke
Repeating the symbolic act of embracing difficulty
And I say, "Here I am, send me
Reaffirming readiness to be sent
Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid
Experiencing a soul-lifting liberation
Here I am, send me, send me
Reiterating the willingness to be sent
Free and so unafraid
Emphasizing freedom and fearlessness
Here I am, send me
Repetition of the declaration of readiness to be sent
Here I am, send me
Final reaffirmation of readiness to be sent
